It wants to come home. George just got a big Weber order in, lots of shiney new grills. The weber rep. was in a week or so ago and I tried to "grill" him on the 22 1/2 inch WSM. I got no where. BUT he did know what I was talking about. Let's hope to see it soon. I did offer to do R&D on one! :LOL:
 
Ok I’m just thinking out loud here..but is that extra couple of inches on a 22in WSM really going to make that much of a difference? The last couple of inches on the outside cook a lot hotter than the middle…Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Dave I have an 18 1/2 Kettle and a 22 1/2 inch Performer and believe it or not there is a big difference between the two as far as how much food you can get on them.

I think the extra 3" would prevent one from having to "curl a brisket". It would also allow full racks of spares to be cooked without either cutting or rolling. I dunno, 6 inches would be better than the rumored 3 inches.
