It is a Weber 22.5 WSM. it is used, and roughly a 2014 I believe, I am looking forward to giving it a much needed tear down, reassemble and thorough cleaning and scouring to get my mind at ease with it or clean as it can get, I seem to read that the 22 is a bit of a fuel eater, and that the door from factory is a complete mess and spot of heat loss. Also, it seems the fire dial is preferred to the water pan, (is there things to know about fire dial to run it, or can you just set it in. Any good links on how to best set up a cook based on some heat zone maps of how it runs with water, without water, with minion, with snake..... Or, a place to easily find this info, book, blog, ?? I am more for the use it and run it and learn it, and will likely do that for a water pan, but, the idea of lost heat and air control, I would like to take those away right away. What am I looking at? I also think I want to order it new grates and water pan, and I so wish I could get a good weber cover with that red grill on it. May have to get a custom cover though.
I am looking forward to being an owner operator of a (and my "first" ) WSM. Also, please post some links and photos of your hanging systems for your WSM's.
I assume the grates, handles, water bowls etc are all easily replaceable like the weber kettle. I need to make some Handle mod add on's so I can use this 22 from my wheelchair. So, I may have some questions to ask there, I asked Weber, they have not had the time to get back to me, they must be busy. But, I assume if it is a flat (the sides of the front door) and two on the face of the lid so I can left with both hands together. and that I can use likely any two screw handle from weber, or have custom ones made? I will likely do some sort of adaptable smoker project take down and modification thread.
