If you can get a WSM for $150, go for it. That's a good price. You
won't have to go through a learning curve, since your already doing
great Q on your Brinkman. The WSM works great and doesn't require a lot
of tending the fire.

If you deside in a couple of years you want to upgrade to a ceramic,
well you won't be the first around here to have a beginners unit, WSM
and a ceramic. Hell, IIRC one ordered a WSM waiting on delivery of a
Kamado !!!

Enjoy!!!
