Ignore the comment. Weber is announcing a new kamado-ish contraption that costs a whopping $1500+ and is far from useful for dedicated BBQ'ing. Lots of rumors that it even has a gas assist on it. Bottom line -- completely irrelevant to discussing purchase of a WSM, yet some people keep holding...

Has anyone had any issues with the Southco latches on the CB doors getting stuck or incredibly hard to operate? I think I may need to clean the portion of the latch inside the WSM, cuz I've had a hell of a hard time opening mine lately. I rotate the latch up and out towards me, but then when I...

Yeah I cooked it in the oven at 200-225 for about 2 hrs. The majority of the glue is on the outside, and if it gets to a temp where JB-Weld would fail, I'll have much bigger issues on my hand, namely the 3d printed rotoblower melting on the pipe. The only time it will ever even get hot at all...

1. You're overlooking some stuff, the main one being --- how are you going to run the HM inside if your temp probes are outside? The answer of course is with a breakout board. RalphTrimble's RotoDamper3 incorporates such a board, if you're interested in that. 2. Building off that, you're not...

+1 on the thread Steve linked, it's got a lot of ideas. When I first got a HM, I went with a simple Auber 6.5cfm blower w/ gasket, and it worked pretty darn well. 6.5 cfm is plenty of output for an 18", and you'll likely never exceed 50% power on it. There's plenty of other options, but that's...

Yep seems to be a solid solution. After a few hours of curing, I placed it in the oven at 200F for about 2 hours to try to drive off the smell. Surprisingly, it didn't give off much so I think it'll be fine in terms of any fumes, especially since I don't need to use it until mid-May.

I can't help but think that your posts regarding that thing (now and in the past) are paid advertisement posts. Just reads too flashy. I'm sure that thing isn't totally snake oil, but it's a hard sell for most of us.

Great news fellas --- the JB Weld seems to be holding just fine, on the first application. I'm now just laying it on in additional layers to fully seal it up and provide max strength. I went with the 5min quick-cure version I have on hand. I guess I'll probably want to run it through the oven a...

https://www.facebook.com/allthingsbbq/videos/10153479272308947/ It sure looks like a pellet setup from that short video. I could be wrong, and someone just posted some info about it possibly being called the Summit Charcoal Grill. If a charcoal device, I doubt it'd be a smoker.

It uses pellets, I can tell you that. Most likely a pelletized kamado. It should have zero effect on interest in the WSM. It's a charcoal smoker and no pellet grill or gasser can compete. I own a Yoder 640 pellet pooper and while I love it for versatility (ie. reverse searing steaks) and its...

It fits fine though I may run a thin bead of silicone sealant where the pipe meets the adapter, for competition time, just to eliminate any air leaks. I'm itching to get to our smoker (it's down in Louisiana right now) and test fit the whole thing, hopefully soon. I'm confident it'll work fine...

Oh wow, I had no clue JB Weld had such high-temp properties. I've got plenty of that on hand. Perhaps I should give that a shot.

Unfortunately it's 1.9" internal diameter for the pipe. It's for a 15cfm fan setup so I made sure to keep a sizable opening for it, otherwise it constricts the airflow and gets noisy. I've also been looking at possibly using a high-temp adhesive caulk of some sort, but it's gotta have pretty...

Alright, so here's the rundown --- I'm trying to design a dogbowl solution for a large offset smoker. I've got my rotoblower set up and working just fine, but I'm struggling to get the contraption made that I need in order to mount it, because I can't seem to solder 2 pieces of metal together...

If you ever get rid of you 18, you can take a $20 strip of expanded metal from HD/Lowe's, 4 nuts+bolts+washers, and create a smaller charcoal ring. I recently did this myself, and it took about 10 mins. I just split the strip of metal down the middle (12x24 sheet so I'd end up with two 6x24...

Damnit, quit feedin me ideas, friend. Cheers.

One thing to keep in mind with all this integrated Wifi stuff is a lack of external antenna. I dunno about a lot of yall but an external antenna is crucial to our team's setup, as I can easily communicate with our pit when I'm 2-3 booths down. It also is crucial to my home setup since my house's...

Better question -- why do you need it to mention a WSM? Barbecue is barbecue, and results will vary across a plethora of cooking devices/chambers. It's up to you as the pitmaster to figure out what works best. I understand where you're going with your question, as some tips would certainly...

It all comes to what you cook and how much of it. Ribs and brisket? 22 model, no doubt, not even a close comparison Butts, tenderloins, smaller cuts? 18 should do fine I used to own an 18, but found myself cooking ribs and brisket so often, that I had to upgrade. The 22 of course def uses...

Awesome, thanks for the info Steve! I'll get it installed at lunchtime, before that link somehow goes down too, haha. Cheers!
