Modded ECB or mini WSM, which would you keep?

[wh1skey6]

I'm running out of room on my back deck and my third car bay. I have a modified ECB gourmet and I built a mini WSM for the heck of it. I am going to build a UDS in the next month or two.

I'd like to keep a small smoker so that I am not firing up the UDS to do a beer can chicken or a rack of ribs. My question is this: which would you keep?

ECB is bigger and I can cook more, like the Thanksgiving turkey. mini WSM can burn longer and maintain heat better.

Yes, I could probably keep both if I found space, but if you could only keep one, which would you keep?

The mini WSM.

Keep the mini...give the ECB to an aspiring smoker and let them learn on it.

Do you guys ever have space issues with the miniWSM? My concern is I have to do a turkey for Thanksgiving and I don't think I'll have the UDS done by then.

Get rid of the ECB after Thanksgiving. :biggrin:

I would definitely keep the mini.
