Does anyone know what the leg support capacity weight would be for a Smokey Joe? I'm curious to know with the miniWSM build, how much stress is being applied to the legs when you add the tamale pot and a few pieces of meat into the mix, how close we are getting to maximum capacity? The legs do not seem "cheap" per-say, but at the same time they are not made of titanium pipe, either.
 
Mike, I have had 2 Boston Bitter in my mini and never worried about the leg strength. I see no reason the mini couldn't support 20lbs of meat.(man, that would be one full mini!!)

I've had a 2-quart cast-iron dutch oven in mine with no problems. I was baking potatoes at the same time so the dutch oven was even off-center.
 
I use my SJG as a fire pit for my 12" Dutch oven (6 or 8 quart). I often deep fry or make a stew/heavy wet dish (jambalaya, coq au vin) and haven't worried.
