I’m fairly new to the WSM but will admit I’m already neck deep LOL. My first one was a 22, it definitely needs a hinge and having a handle in the front really makes the hinge useful. Don’t have an 18 but not sure I would put a hinge on it without adding a front handle. The 14 I now have I use...

After a lot of reading I bought 2 brinkman rib racks for my new 14, I read they fit perfectly. The lower one fits down in there nicely, but the top one doesn’t allow the lid to sit flush without holding it down. Anyone else have this issue? It seems the last rack on each end barely hits the...

I was able to get my 14.5 to 350 using lump charcoal and a billows fan, this is while cooking two big spatchcock chickens over 5 lbs each. It was well over 375 when I put the chicken in, but all that cold meat cooked it off. Most of the cook was 325-340.

Bump ... I just bought the brinkman rib rack and it fits well on the bottom rack, but the top rack won’t allow the lid to sit all the way down

Is it really needed on a 14?

You can do that, but I had a sheet of expanded metal

Damn it ! Now I guess I need one. This will be great for just doing something simple without having to get out the signals setup

I think a whole Turkey would get stuck in a 14 LOL

Thanks for giving it a try

Dont do one of those do a real breast

I do the whole breasts, they are really good and even comes with a gravy packet

I like this idea, simple and easy

Bump to a great thread, I just got a 14 and think using a good lump like jealous devil will substantially increase cook time with the small charcoal ring

Thanks, I do see they make one and many other things for the 14.5. But damn $50 for it, I did order the vortex heat plate for it though.

Just be careful how close it is to the heat, the bbq hanger will be too close for most of these high end units. ThermoWorks says 120 deg max

I like this setup.

That’s a lot of work stripping wire , but will last a long long time if not forever.

I just used steel rebar tying wire doubled up. Thick solid copper wire would probably work the best

Picked up a new 14.5” on eBay for a good price , it was a Coca Cola makeup of some sort. After heavily modifying my 22, I decided this doesn’t really need much. So all I did to this little guy was double up the charcoal grate and wire the ring to it, and make an adapter for my bellows fan. I...

I have a 22 and just added a 14, the 22 is just too big and and uses too much fuel for small everyday cooks unless you have a family of 15. I plan on using the 14 for doing spatchcock chicken, couple racks of ribs or maybe a butt
