    Mini WSM - pics

    We love corn from our Performer or Mini WSM, usually try for about 15 min on indirect heat. I normally don't add more wood chunks after I've started cooking. We've tried it in the husk but prefer the flavor without, and also they are ready to eat when they come off too.

    Questions about my own wood for smoking

    Thanks for the replies, Yesterday I dumped the green Apple chunks out of their buckets, and found moisture was too high at the bottom. The bark on the tree branches I cut had some grayish material on them, and that was starting to turn green with the moisture and lack of air. So I spread them...

    Questions about my own wood for smoking

    Had a couple of sources for Hickory and Apple wood for smoking and have questions about storage and use. The Hickory was from a live tree felled this spring, and cut into 20" logs but not split. Today I cut a couple logs into chunk length slabs, then used a hatchet to cut the slabs into chunks...

    Mini WSM - pics

    Camping over the weekend. Brats for lunch on the SJG (Indirect Cook), then another Spatchcock chicken and some corn on the Mini WSM.

    Probe wires

    Yes, the aluminum pots aren't as strong as the metal from a Kettle or WSM. So far it hasn't been an issue on mine though, and I'm dragging it in and out of a truck tool box when we are camping.

    Probe wires

    The slot method is easy and works well, I've done it on both my Weber Performer and recently completed Mini WSM. You can see pictures on the Mini WSM here: http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?61487-Mini-WSM-pics I used an angle grinder then smoothed with a file, only took a few minutes. From then...

    Mini WSM - pics

    Thanks Pete, it was the end of an old paint roller extension I found in the garage. After I drilled it and screwed onto the bolt, I chucked it up in my cordless drill to make sanding easier. Really impressed with how well it draws and cooks and looking forward to using it again.

    Mini WSM - pics

    Thanks to the information here, I was able to find a IMUSA steamer pot at a local WM and build a Mini WSM. The pots lid would not fit on the bottom of itself, but it fit the SJG's lower section very well. The lid from the SJG fit the rim of the pot but was snug especially after warming up, so...
