The WSM has two shelves for meat. You wouldn't have a problem with two butts or even two briskets on an 18.5. I did a brisket on mine the other day, around 15 lbs, and I could have fit one below it. There wasn't much room for anything else but it fits more than ya think.

yes I am seeing this as I research. I am now leaning towards the WSM. I think the ease of use for my lack of skill is desirable at this time. Any heat control issues between the two sizes? Any mods I should consider?


Also, do you guys use briquettes or lump? I have always used lump for my direct heat grilling, but I am wondering if briquettes are better for slow/low due to longer burn time. On the other hand, do they burn hot enough to maintain proper heat?
