Finally finished took a few years with a cheap harbor freight welder. Backwoods style clone. It’s a beast didn’t realize when I started but it’s gotta close to 500 lbs. can’t believe it never noticed the smoking meat forum.
Which charcoal smoker do you have?

Couldn’t agree more. Been a wsm 18 cooker for 25 years. Been left outside no cover looks brand new. Now I need to get some beer medals.
Once I learned the trick or turning the cylindrical part upside down when storing I've also been happy leaving it outside in the rain and snow.

Since acquiring a 14 - I don't mind carrying in and out of the garage. So my WSMs are kept under a roof. If I were exclusive to my 18, knowing I wouldn't carry ever time, I'd flip the ring and still use my cover.
imo - the WSM 14 is versatile without water pan for hot and fast cooking. It's also great for short no-fuss cooks at 5 hrs and less with a water in the pan.
I think Gary Wiviott has the right of it in low & slow. just set the ring off and build a new, clean-burning fire. the WSM is an efficient cooker with very repeatable results

I don't want to be cremated, I want to be malted.
my upright drum smoker cost me about $30. it takes a little bit to dial in every time, since i use mostly wood instead of charcoal, but I like to make a big saturday out of it and smoke several chickens, 2-3 pork shoulders, and a few slabs of ribs in one go.
Then vac seal all the meat, delicious smoked meats, ready to rock with less than 20 minutes of prep for every meal.
