thanks. guess i'm in the ballpark with this first smoke. hope, though, that i eventually will be able to maintain a 225-250 grate temp.

Have been able to get temp to hover at 259-262 at top grate. Best I can do so far. For initial firing, I used full ring with hole in middle for lit charcoal. Used about 3/4 chimney lit charcoal in middle. Top grate contained some sausage links, rack of St. Louis ribs (flat on grate), 6-lb. pork...

Am currently involved with the first smoke on my new 22.5 wsm. problem is temp control -- too hot. I have two bottom dampers fully closed and one about 1/4 open (if I fully closed all bottom vents wouldn't that extinguish the burning charcoal?). Top damper is fully opened. According to my...

really appreciate the help.

Thanks. I also called BBQ guru. 4TheGrill offers a 3/8-inch eyelet for about $10. But I'm going to opt for the lamp shaft. Also, what size is the clay saucer you use for the 22.5 WSM? One other thing: does the bottom of the saucer touch the top of the water pan floor?

who can argue with 35+ years of smokin' savvy? thanks.

your help is much appreciated. what size saucer do you recommend for the 22.5 wsm pan? also, would you still fully fill the water pan with the saucer in it, actually submerging the3 saucer?

appreciate the help.

thanks.

saw the handle assemblies you purchased and also the black handle. why did you also buy the black handles, since the assembly appears to come with its own grey handle? thanx.

thanks for the info. i'm leaning toward horizontal handles.

will give it a shot. thanks.

my reply to you regarding the longer bolts was meant for another responder who suggested using spacers to widen the gap. sorry for the mix-up. are your handles installed on each grate holder (4) or just on the two front ones? i could see only two in the pix. if just on the front ones, that seems...

good idea. but would have to get some longer screws -- not a problem, though. thanks.

was going to equip my new 22.5 wms with the genie universal garage door handles as recommended in numerous posts. the holes in the handles, however, do not come close to aligning with the grate-holder holes in the wsm -- off by about an inch. bending the handles to straighten them made the holes...

Just got a new 22.5-inch WSM and would like some clarification/advice about using a clay saucer rather than water. As I understand this technique, the saucer goes into the water pan, correct? The idea is to create an air pocket between the bottom of the saucer and the top of the pan base. I...
