I think some people have used the steamer insert as a diffuser - can't speak to results.

The Q320 does have a split grill and the the griddle (which I have on my 320 and love) I think fits the 3200 just fine.

Unless you're planning on using it for competitions, skip the seasoning and start cooking. Oh and congrats on your new WSM.

Joe, what size diffuser do you use? If I did this mod as shown in your pic, my 12" TC plate would likely block most if not all of the opening cut out in the bottom of my pot.

Word of caution, Steve over at BBQ Bros did the same for his original WSM mini. If you read his blog you'll note he found out eventually that the weight of the terra cota plate started to cause the sides of the pot to buckle - he now uses a pizza pan...

Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard Chad.

Welcome aboard and very nice collection of Webers you've got there.

Looks great. These older Webers which I've now restored a few of them, are really quite simple. They come apart and go back together nicely - really well designed and built. IMHO, better quality than what Weber sells now in the Spirit and Genesis lines. You can pick them up for free or next to...

Congrats. A few months ago I took the same road with a "Crimson" Performer but it was a tough decision between it and the "Copper". Your new Performer looks great. Fully agree I wouldn't trust some "numpty" from the Lowes to put my Performer together either. Also think keeping the old OTG is a...

Just seemed like extra work and I didn't think I'd need the extra height. Besides, I just was too anxious to cook with it ;)

It's cooking away behind me as I type this - whole chicken. One thing I'm noticing right of the hop, A little vent adjustment goes a long way (up or down) and it doesn't take long to happen. I'm assuming the limited volume inside compared to my 18.5 is why.

Well after finally gathering all the parts and setting aside some time to build it, the mini is done. Not sure if I'm going to paint it or not as it's going to spend most of it's time in our RV getting banged around with the other gear. The 18.5 will still handle most of the work at home and...

So I finally got my 32 quart pot which was no easy task in the great white north but thank to Wally World USA and a trip over the river to NY, I have it. My first question and I'm really stuck is the diffuser. My steamer insert is untouched and unmodified currently. I know some guys just use...

Yup love our 320 too. Recently bought the Weber griddle to replace 1/2 of the grate - it's great (no pun). Nice looking grill, lots of space for the average back yard family cook and uses less gas than most full size grills.

Welcome aboard Bill and great choice in smoker. Don't go too hard on Weber, overall the cooker is solid - capable of cranking out Q as good or better than Q from smokers costing thousands more. I gave up on my lid thermo a long time ago and instead use a Mav 732 and Thermapen for temp management.

As Bill said......Craycort will do better. If you're looking for a more budget friendly fix, what about measuring the distance between the top of the charcoal grate and and the bottom of the (unloaded) food grate and then cutting a few fire bricks that could stand on end between the grates...

Mistakes are all part of the learning curve......don't sweat it, it's BBQ not surgery. You'll do it better next time. Hope the Q turned out well regardless.

Notwithstanding external factors such as outside air temps and wind, 1.5 hours per pound is a rough guideline but I really never count on time because sh#t happens. I always cook to "doneness" temp using my Maverick and then verified with my Thermapen. I usually add a few extra hours to that...

I'll give you $15.00 for it ;). Congrats......great score.
