SWMBO just got me a Weber Smokey Mountain (WSM) for me to start pursuing yet another hobby...making the best BBQ within my means and ability. I also suspect to keep me out of the house more. Just curious if anyone else runs the smoker and brews a batch the same day? Any tips or Zen tricks...

I've inherited a single pin-lock corny keg, CO2 tank, and regulator. If I want to set-up a dual tap system and tower, is there any downside to getting a ball lock corny as the second keg? I'm scrounging craigslist for whatever is available. Thanks!
