Pierre Take a look at a cheapie Brinkmann and a WSM side by side and you'll answer most of your own questions. They key is temp control. The cheapies are so leaky it's damn near impossible to maintain a given heat. Not so with the WSM. _________ ht_redneck

The steel is not so thick, being much thinner than the plate steel used in offset smokers. It must be the air tightness and control, as well as the overall design.
