I would Google and search YouTube for chuck boxes and camp kitchens. Lots of great ideas for diy. Check out blue sky camp kitchens for some good light weight construction techniques.

You can seal the holes with a small piece of HVAC foil tape on the inside wall of the ring. Durable and easily removable. My ring seals well on both the WSM and Performer without rocking. Try measuring across the ring where the rotisserie rod goes through, and then measure again across the ring...

I got a Bayou Classic Stainless steel outdoor brew stove. It's $100 but very sturdy. I picked up an Imusa 32 quart seafood steamer with basket for about $30 at Walmart. It has a glass lid which makes me nervous, but plan on getting a bigger stainless steel pot in the future. I only use it for...

Get a close up pic of the markings on the top vent, the bottom vents or ash sweep, and the side of the wheels. Post those pics on the WKC forum and they will tell you exactly what year it was made. Color is avocado I believe.

I tried putting a gasket on the bottom, but ended up pulling it off since it didn't fit right or seem necessary on my WSM. I had a gasket for the door when I had the original weber door but took it off once I got the Cajun Bandit stainless steel door. It seemed like the gasket was too thick to...

No lighter fluid for me. Put your briquettes in a Weber charcoal chimney and set it over the lit gas assist. Finish some of your food prep while you wait. Once you see flames at the top layer of briquettes in the chimney, shut off the gas assist. Dump the lit briquettes in the charcoal baskets...

The gasket I installed had a peel and stick backing. I cleaned the area of the WSM off really well with acetone making sure all I could see was clean porcelain. Then I cleaned it with Windex glass cleaner. Be sure not to stretch the gasket as you install it. I didn't use any additional adhesive...

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B004REGR4S/tvwb-20 I have this one and I'm very happy with it. It's big, expensive, and requires a commitment to keeping it conditioned. I won't argue about that. Only you can decide if it's worth it to you. My knives stay sharp longer. Like a good cast...

For the metal Cajun Bandit probe grommet, I used a titanium brad point bit from Home Depot. Mark the location of the hole after placing a piece of blue painters tape on the WSM where you plan to drill. The brad point and painters tape will help keep the drill bit from skating on the porcelain...

Ok sorry, I missed the main point of your question but I think this will still work for you with slightly longer hardware. I used 1" pipe clamps bolted to the grate with SS hardware. They allow the charcoal ring to move slightly side to side which seems to help sift the ash off the remaining...

Another option if you don't feel you can fabricate one. Sold in pairs and a bit pricey. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/handle-fireplace-p-1475698.html?q=Weber%20fireplace%20handles

I just got an email from him this morning regarding a product suggestion as well. I am sure he is busy and tired of hearing my "great" ideas that he should make. :cool:

I used a clay saucer originally but after it cracked I never got another one. I just foil the water pan and let the DigiQ do all the work. Hopefully the probe was the issue and you get it sorted out. Don't give up on the larger WSM yet. Let us know what happens

I have a DigiQ with pit viper but drilled a hole for the fan adapter. I don't foil tape the bottom vent holes, just keep them closed. I foil the water bowl and don't use water or a clay pot. I fill the charcoal chamber and start with 8-10 lit. I have put four to six large pork butts on right out...

I have three grates on mine and there was no noticeable change in performance. If I load all three racks with cold meat it takes longer for the WSM to come up to smoking temps but it does get there. I'm wondering if you think there might have been an issue with damp briquettes or lump. Give some...
