Cliff that is actually a 22.5 kettle that I offset. I need a little extra room so i put bricks in the bottom to bank the coals up. I then put bricks on the grate to give me a little baffle from the high heat. In have three little girls so I BBQ on a small budget! I have yet been able to afford the step up to the WSM as much as I want one!! If anyone is looking for someone to quality control let me know
