A New WSM, Moink Balls and a Wedding

I did a little cooking for the wedding of some friends daughter and the WSM came in handy. Here’s a few pictures of everything. It was a great time. Exhausting, but fun.

Here’s a couple of my smokers hard at work. The ever faithful UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker) and the new WSM.
