And this is my first try on the WSM with beef ribs.

I'm trying out the suggestions as per:

YumYum

I've only had total (wife likes) success once with beef ribs with the kettle, I'm hoping I can master this elusive culinary mystery tonight.

Donald, is that WSM on casters? If so, please tell me how you did it and what you used.

Thanks

Mike:

Yes my WSM is mobile as of this morning. I don't know how to link to a post but here's the thread I put some pictures of the build on:

Roving WSM

I used 1/2 electrical steel conduit and bent it with a pipe bender:

Er, well more like:

Home Depot sells the bender in the electrical section. I think this is the model number: 74-047.

I used the outline of the WSM lid as an outline to bend the pipe to that circumference then chisel and hammered one end of the pipe to fit into the other.

Next time I would first hammer the end of the pipe end before I bent it; much easier to hammer on a straight pipe.

I mounted threaded casters into the drilled pipe and supports with lock nuts. I had to hammer down the pipe on one side to get the nuts to catch.

And that was it, took me about 45 minutes and this baby is on the roll.

That's pretty darn spiffy!

Some of you folks are farking geniuses.

(Sorry, wrong forum to use 'farking').

 

[Cliff H.]

That is a great idea. It will be all over the forums before you know it.

 

[Mike Draper]

Donald, nice. Thanks for the pics. I also seen your charcoal lighter system. Great also. What other kind of great ideas do you have?

Harbormaster...yep wrong forum

(bowhnter)

Cliff, yes it will be all over ...soon.

 

[Mike Batsarisakis]

Your caster mod is simple yet brilliant. Good job.

 

[David Collier]

Ron, That mobile adaptation is cool. I put a brisket and two buts on my WSM at 20:00 last night. Right now, internal flat is 160 and the butts are 151! Good luck with your smoke!

Right now? Don't move the WSM with a full pan of water.
