They sell a gasket kit for the door, and middle section to cut down on air leaks. Just installed it last year, so far so good.

I've had the 18" for years. Only time I run into issues fitting things in there are with full briskets and ribs. Full briskets are usually pretty big and I've had to cut a couple inches off the end...

Depends entirely on what you are cooking. If you're doing pork butts for pulled pork, you could easily feed more than 6 people. Probably ribs too. It's just that a rack of ribs sometimes is more than...

18" will suffice and it's what I have, but a 12+ lb packer brisket or a full rack of ribs are a pretty tight fit, I usually have to fenagle the lid on initially (the meat shrinks down enough after a...

That's a nice discount off the usual $459.00. Too bad there are no Fleet Farms in my neck of the woods. I'd love to upgrade my 18" to a 22".
(I will note that the website still lists the usual...

Do these have the attachments where you don't use grates, but "hang" the ribs, etc from hooks on a rod along the top?
Edit...I should've read the last reply before my post. Lol!

Thank you both! Valuable information. The PBC dose that intriguing hanging system, which apparently works quite nicely. The Weber is better-looking though. I'll do some more reading.

I think that would help. I've always had issues with temps running away in the afternoon sun even with all the bottom vents completely closed. Sadly mine's also taken a beating from some crazy wind...

Depends what you like to cook. You need to mod this one a bit. The PBC is 33gal, so a bit bigger. PBC is great for ribs; a modded WSM makes great brisket. PBC is supposed to have a larger 55 coming...

I have the 18” and this spot on advice. The 18” is very efficient compared but 22” harder to move. 22” makes better fires and can take logs of smoked wood. 22 grate can transfer easy to Weber...

Looks like the PBC doesn't go beyond 18.5". I like the WSM because it has two grates so that I can cook 4 large pork butts at one time. Doesn't look the PBC has more than one level of grates, but I...

With PBC, you can hang ribs. 6 racks no problem.

It fits fine on the 22". I actually use two fans on my 22/guru setup. I know it's probably overkill, but it helps hit higher temps for chicken and is less wear and tear on the fan motors.

just curious, why the need for an upgrade to a 22"? Would 18" inch suffice for 6 adults?

You can do vertical on the WSM. Weber makes a hanging kit, but so do Hunsaker and Gateway (I prefer the Gateway). Also recommend a Hunsaker Vortex basket and ditch the water pan.

i've had the 22" wsm for 5 or 6 years. it's great at what it does, but the 22 eats charcoal. i've read that the 18 is way more fuel efficient, so if you don't really need more space, go with the...

WSM no question in my mind. For a bunch of reasons. There’s nothing the PBC can do that you can’t do on a WSM, but there’s a lot you can’t do on the PBC. If you want to use a controller for...
