This is a common length of time for me when I do beef back ribs, but I usually smoke at 275-300.

A big thanks to Chris Allingham for hooking me up with a pristine original door for my 18. I'm hoping to get the clean up of it started next weekend, and this is the only thing I needed to make it complete.

Thx Chris.

Chris, I followed the link but it's showing them at $99.

I posted it in the Buy/Sell section. If all else fails I can order the newer door and buy the components for the old latch. It looks like ereplacementparts carries them.

I recently picked up a pre-production WSM in good condition but it was missing the mid-section door. I'm looking to get a replacement and would like to get one that matches it which means the door with the round knob. If anyone has one their willing to let go of please let me know what you would...

So I called Weber Customer Support and told them I had a pre-production WSM and needed a replacement door. They told me the door was discontinued and the replacement was 63018 which is the newer door. If you look out on Cajun Bandit they have two doors for 18.5 WSMs (pre- and post-2000). Based...

I picked up an older wood handled WSM today from a local pawn shop for $40 out the door. It's in pretty good shape and had all the parts for it except the mid-section door. As you can see in the second picture there is no date code on the top vent, so I'm trying to determine what version/era of...

Restoring this and building my Mini WSM are the projects keeping me busy while I wait for my custom offset smoker to be built.

Yep, and Consumer Reports tearing it apart in 1986 probably helped kill it off. It's not likely to be the best gasser, but it's still a piece of Weber history. Maybe a piece best left forgotten, but still an interesting restoration for me. I've got plenty of other cookers to cook on.

Yes it did. The grate in the picture is the lava rock grate. The cooking grate was off to the side when I took that picture. Cooking grate is a standard 22.5 cooking grate.
