For what the WSM costs, I'd buy the Kamado Kooker/Acorn from Chargriller. You can get one for under $300 and it is easy to dial in for any kind of BBQ. After a few cooks and understanding how to build your fires and set your vents it is almost as set it and forget it as a pellet smoker. Seriously. Plus you get the benefits of super high temps for pizzas and searing meats. I'd buy one of those over a WSM any day of the week. Seriously underrated smoker/grill set up.
Or I'd spend another $150 and get the egg clone from Costco by Vision which comes with all the extra accessories. I noticed Lowes had a Bayou the other day for $699 which isn't bad either given it comes with a stand and side tables. I think DT has one."Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic

You can fit more food in a WSM, but a grill it is not. Both kamados and wsm's are great cookers and both are used in comps, etc... I think you'd be happy with either."I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's a$$, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it". - Tommy Callahan III

So I got tired of the spindly legs on the Traeger with the wind here. So I picked up this cart from Costco and mounted the Traeger to it.

The high heat fro the flame will burn the grease drippings and since the fire is going full bore, not alot of ash to deal with."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?
