    Weber charcoal grate #7440 not sold in stores at Home Depot or Lowes...

    Seems they aren't stocking them in the stores any more and you have to order them online fer delivery to the store or to yer house. :( Glad I was able to snatch up the remaining 7440 stock at the local HD at a discounted price. :D...

    What to do when yer Smokey Joe gives up the ghost?

    So since the installation of the tamale pot lid on the bottom of the pot so you could stack multiple pots together, I was thinking if my Smokey Joe ever bit the dust from rust...I could use a tamale pot as its replacement. It would be designed to hold an integrated charcoal basket/chimney fer a...

    Easy custom vent handles...

    This was an idea I came up with this morning. Got tired of the metal eye bolt handles as they were always a "pain" to handle when hot. :mad: So I got to thinking...how to attach a wooden handle or even a custom handle to the vent dampers? My simple low cost approach was to use a 1/4" bolt...

    New build with a IMUSA 32qt tamale pot...

    Using most of the knowledge on this board, I started a new mini build. I'm not painting this one as I need to test a few paint schemes first. I would like to thank all the previous builders fer their knowledge! Cost of this build was just under $80. :D Using CaseT's approach to the lid (and...

    Modifying a stainless steel Weber style grill pan to fit inside the mini WSM...

    Made the plunge and picked up a Weber style grill pan fer $20 at Home Depot. I like Weber's slotted pan over the cheaper similar grill pans with holes. I made this mod to the stainless steel pan as there was a concern with using aluminum foil during my cooks. :D...

    Deflector to keep the lid handle clean...

    Haven't seen any threads about this so I thought I'd share what I did. :D I had some aluminum flashing leftover so I made a deflector to keep the crud off of the lid handle. It also keeps the handle from heating up, too! Just a small lip to wedge under the vent and a quick roll of the...

    Insulating blanket/sleeve...

    Any thoughts about making an insulating blanket to surround the tamale pot? Been thinking about picking up some fiberglass insulation to surround the pot with and then cover it with some aluminum flashing to protect the blanket from debris and impacts. Maybe I could rob an old modern oven fer...

    $1.25 adjustable rack rails...

    **Title should be $2 adjustable rack rails...** Didn't want to drill a bunch of holes into my pot, so I found some support rails in the plumbing section of Home Depot that would work perfectly. They are Hyco 5/8" x 18" bars, SKU 739236266002, at $0.87 each. Since these are 18" long, I...

    What happens when you overheat a Weber Smokey Joe Silver?

    My first build... Handle on the top vent... Handle on the bottom vent... Cast aluminum pot lid as the heat diffuser... I did my burn in yesterday without the tamale pot or lid installed. I found out that it wasn't a good thing to use a blower to fire up the coals... :( It got so...
