john,
Congrats!
Nothing else to get started - I'm sure you have lump.
You will want to get a platesetter for indirect cooking (pork butts, brisket, pizza, etc). It's as close to a 'must' as any item.
That being said your next decision is what to cook first![p]There are a ton of items you will pick up in your first year, but I wouldn't say any are mandatory. Hopefully someone will post "THAT HUGE LIST" that always gets posted when someone asks this question....[p]Again, welcome to egging, and please share the details of your first cook. My one tip: Be sure to let the smoke clear before you add food or you risk a ruined meal.

john,[p] You do not NEED any eggessories; however,you will eventually WANT to buy all of them.. Just give in now and get it over with [p]Plater Setter and pizza stone.
Lump, Meat.

john,
some type of meat thermometer depending on your budget you have plenty of choice, polder, maverick, thermapen, guru, stoker......on and on. [p]I find the grid lifter handy and some good heat resistant gloves, many choices, many preferences amongst those that post. each has it's own merits.
