Thanks to another member of the board, I finally have the last of the things coming that I will need to build a mini WSM using my SJ Gold I have been reading through the threads playing catch up and wanted to bounce a couple of questions off the collective group here for your thoughts. I am thinking seriously about building it with the intent of mainly only ever using a single grate for cooking, at least for now. Given my intent, how far from the top should I put this grate? Chris recommended 4 inches in his write up but I know some other went lower. Guess my real question is how low can I go and still have room to add a second grate on top of the terra cotta pot if I opt to go that route later? Was there a time when you wish that you had given yourself more room on the top or the bottom? Building this for the fun of it and to use for shorter cook stuff like chicken and ribs.
