Hi guys I'm in the UK, so am no help whatsoever in sourcing you a pot. But, just to say, if you do manage to find yourself a Sonex #6, they're a perfect fit. Took me years to construct my mini (same problem as you - tamale pots aren't exactly a thing in South Wales!)...

That looks fantastic. I'm craving chicken now. And it's gone midnight where I am!

Thanks! I confess I didn't this time. Just rubbed it and bunged it in. I was busy doing other stuff so just left it to its own devices! Thanks! It ran for about about 5 hours at 275 (lit with Minion method). There was loads of fuel (restaurant grade lump) left. It could have gone on for far...

Quite frankly, that looks like it may very well be the Best. Thing. Ever! Looking forward to the finished pics...

Thanks for the lovely comments, guys. Much appreciated. Cliff (and Brian) - I can highly recommend those laces - I have some silicon ones for regular cooking, then I noticed these grill specific ones last time I was in the US. They've proved invaluable to harness falling apart bits of meat...

Finally did a shoulder on my new Mini - my third cook with it. I can't express how impressed I am with these little things. Temp was steady as a rock. Went for hours and there was still loads of charcoal left when I was done. Incredible scenes! Anyway, here's my cook. A boneless shoulder (it...

Aw, dammit! I stopped in on the way home today to have a look too. Lots of Sonex. No #6s... Sorry Dave!

Hi Dave - Apologies for the delay, been offline for a few days. The shop I got my Sonex pot from was a hardware store called One Price just off the Edgware Rd. https://plus.google.com/107270226996492269153/about?gl=uk&hl=en I passed it on the way home from work today (I live/work in London...

Welcome to Blighty! There are some folk over here who know how / like to smoke and or grill properly! :)

Thanks everyone. Bec - where in London are you? I (eventually, after months of looking and measuring!) got the pot from a hardware store on Church St (NW1), just off the Edgware Rd...

Heh. Thank you. Only a rookie with my Mini-WSM, Jonathan. Been smoking for a few years now using my 22" OTG… :)

Hi Stephen Just had a look at the hi-res of the pic, seems it's a '6' and capacity of 28Litres. Here's the entire label in case there's anything else helpful you can discern from it! Hope that helps, and good luck with your search.

Took advantage of the day off today and spent it smoking… It was the first run of my new Mini. http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?50733-My-build-the-first-Welsh-Mini-WSM For wood I used maple and apple, and I'm happy to report that Smokey kept to temp very nicely. I'm *so* impressed with these...

Fantastic build. Love the portability touches. Nice one, sir!

Thanks so much for the kind words, Joe. I must confess I was really pleased how it turned out. I took it for its maiden voyage today and it performed brilliantly. (Will post some pics later.) I'd read so much about these little things online for the last few years and was desperate to have a go...
