Weber Smokey Mountain - 18.5 vs 22.5

[Todzilla]

Birthday is rapidly approaching and apparently i'll be getting one of these as my present!
Needless to say i'm stoked, the only question is what size to get? Obviously the smaller one is just that, smaller, more compact and cheaper, but will I always have a nagging doubt that i should've got the bigger one? You know, Ghost vs Phantom, Gallardo vs Murcielago...

As far as cooking on it goes I intend to do basically everything possible on it, right up to Christmas turkeys.


thoughts?


Cheers in advance

Get the bigger one, definitely. I bought the smaller Weber One-Touch kettle and while it's great, I really, really wish I'd got the bigger one. Just that little bit of extra space would make all the difference.

No clues.

I know which size I am happy with
