Hey all,
Finally ordered my WSM from Amazon yesterday (through this site, of course), then signed up for an account here! Been lurking for awhile and love all the info and help on the forums. I really got into smoking about 5 years ago and was using my old offset cooker that took a miracle to hold any kind of stable temps.

I'm getting the 18" and can't wait for it to get here. I want to do some smoking before the snow hits Connecticut. I'm thinking a nice shoulder to start off with...mmm

Aloha and welcome Dave B. Congrats on your purchase and don't let inclement weather slow you down. You'll just have to make "adjustments." I live in the Pacific Northwest and I "Q" year round!

Welcome Dave, You are going love how easy its going to be to set & maintain temperatures on the WSM. Set it and forget it!

Hello, Dave.

Lots of good information here. Check out some of the forums that are three or four pages in length.

Welcome Dave, the WSM worsks like a machine! You will love it.

Hiya Dave! Welcome to our little slice a heaven. Nice to see a fellow nutmeg stater in here!

Thanks all!

Just found out Amazon sent the WSM via FedEx (no charge!) -- it gets here tomorrow. Looking forward to some nice weather for the maiden voyage on Sunday.

Stop by Ferrarro's ang get that thing packed with the .99 lb Boston Butts and maybe pick up some pork bellies. Welcome.

Welcome Dave, another CT member here
Your going to really appreciate the ease of this cooker, and once you use it I don't think you'll let a little snow stop you

Hey Bill, thanks for the tip on Ferraro's - never heard of it before today, and I'm not that far. Found their ad online; I can't believe their prices! $0.68/lb for shoulder, and $0.98/lb for butts? Will definitely be checking them out soon.

Dave another Great place is Amity Meat in Woodbridge. Talk to Allen the owner. Great Butcher and will get anything you may need.

Welcome Dave. You can't go wrong with a WSM.
