WSM 14”

[Mark Adams]

I just got a slightly used 14” WSM, is there anything I must know before getting my feet wet? Everything is pretty clean, guy said he only used it a couple times, but I still plan to clean it up before I fire it up.

Tie wire the ring to the charcoal grate,it makes life easier.
Dunno what kind of experience you have with smoking/charcoal smokers,if you have any questions -shoot.

 

[Mark Adams]

I will certainly do that, thanks Moto. I’ve heard they are very user friendly, unlike my OK Joe that took some getting used to

Yes,all WSMs run well.I own a 14" and have run B Bags101 18" with equal aplomb.If you've run one size you can run'em all.
I use Royal Oak briquettes and it's a cruiser.You will love it.

Yes ,,, I agree , you're gonna love it . Use Royal oak briquettes like said above . I also fixed the ring to the grate . Have fun . Do some chicken parts to test it out and lets us know . Got mine for $99 new in the box couple years ago .

I have the 14" bigger brother and it's a joy to smoke with. The 14 is supposed to be miser when it comes to fuel consumption. Have fun.

I think I could get used to that fuel efficiency!

I've had my 14" WSM for several years now.The only thing I've done to mod it is gasket the door and lid.
