Here is my WSM build...fairly straightforward, I used the vasconia tamale pot as the body and for the diffuser I used a terracotta saucer bolted to the steamer tray. I drilled a bunch more holes in the steamer tray as well. Finished it all off with some red highlights on the vents and flames with the VHT annodizing paint, then a couple coats of VHT black bbq paint....I have a 22 wsm so this will be used for my smaller smokes. prob pork butts and chicken. i will prob use a foil pan sitting on the 2nd grate most cooks to catch drippings. I havent added the tuna-can to prevent ash clogging yet, but i plan to. pics below...
Terracotta saucer about to be drilled
knob for top vent
modded handle for bottom vents
painting the body
drew up some flames on sticky paper...didn't know if it work, but it didn't turn out too bad...
