WSM - Fuel

[Rathog23]

I’d jump all over that used one!

I'm thinking about it. When we were in the KC BBQ store they said they would around $250 new at their spring sale. The one in Knob Noster looks cleaner then the one in Blues Springs but, it's a bit further from KC. I'm also considering some of the updates like the bigger water bowl, the thicker legs and the probe port.

Another WSM fan here, I run it with the TempMaster Pro controller I made. If I use lump I'll break um into smaller pieces so I can load more fuel. The irregular shape of lump makes it airy when stacked. It burns out faster than briquettes but it does give a better smokey flavor. If I use briquettes (have been using kingsford competition brand and I like it) I'll throw wood chunks on top.
It'd be nice to have an automatic charcoal reloader attached to the side door. I do find it's annoying to have fuel burn out in the WSM after 6 or 7 hours of cook. If I can get my hands on a pallets auger I may try to add that to the WSM.

Thank you all for the input. I looked for Embers Brand, unfortunately they don't sell them anywhere around Kansas City. RO looks like to brand to go to price wise.

Home depot off Vivion has Embers - 2 20 lb bags for $9.98.
