My new 22' WSM...

[FattyMac]

arrived in a big box at my house today. Was ordered before Christmas as a present from my wife. Not exactly sure when I'll get my my first chance to use it because I'm out of town off and on for a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone out there owns or has used the 22" and would kindly give me any feedback from their experience in using it? I'm on the Weber Virtual Bullet website a lot, but thought I'd asked you folks who frequent this site. Thanks.

I usually have mine loaded and smoking every weekend. You'll love it - i've done brisket, chicken, turkey - all turn out great. I'm looking for low-maintenance - fire it up, load it up, and come back when it's done. This smoker fits that profile perfectly.

You're on to the virtual bullet site so follow their tips and you'll be set. Get you an $8 thermometer and stick it through the top vent to monitor temp. It's a small learning curve to work out bottom vent adjustments at first. The other tip I'd follow every time is to line the drip pan with foil for easy cleanup.
