I’m Adam from the Raleigh, NC area.
I’ve been reading this forum for awhile, but figured I should join since I picked up a WSM today. I started smoking with an electric roaster style smoker. I got decent results, but nothing too impressive and that thing sucked to clean. A few months ago, I came across instructions to smoke ribs on a Weber kettle. I was hooked after that! I’ve smoked a few things on the kettle, but keeping temp is pretty labor intensive, so my search for a used Weber Smokey Mountain began. I came across an 18” 1981 WSM for $25! The grates are in rough shape and she has a few dents, but overall pretty good shape.
