And looking at images of the 22 intake vents, I can see that the charcoal grate sits halfway between the holes. Two holes below and two above. Scott Dace posted about raising the grill, and I can see how that would increase airflow. But I think that's an option, not a necessity. The 22...

elsewhere.) The vents are now about 3" below the charcoal grate in the 18.5 -- no need for any modification. I don't quite understand that. On my 18, the charcoal grill rests just below the vents. The ring that holds the coals, is right beside the vents. It appears that the incoming...

So, how exactly does the cajun bandit ring solve the air intake problem with the 22?

Ok, please help me understand how the cajun bandit charcoal ring solves the 22 air intake problem. ta

But what if one has a wsm 22? I wonder, if the charcoal grate from a 18 kettle is good for a "cross hatch" charcoal grate in a wsm 18, would perhaps a charcoal grate from a 22 kettle do the same thing for a 22 wsm?

Hello all. I have made a charcoal grate mod for my 18, but my buddy and I are thinking of buying a 22. I know the end gaps in the grate are not a problem with the 22. But we cook with lump, and I think I would like to place a cross grate over the existing one in the 22, to create that same...

I use both a pizza stone as a heat deflector, with a clay saucer sitting on the pizza stone. The ridges between the two, allow air flow and therefore the saucer doesn't get too hot. This means the drippings falling into the saucer won't burn and give off smells. Also, I replaced the bottom...

Very helpful link. Thanks

All right. I have several different types of mexican peppers, in whole form. I am going to chop, toast and grind them into a mixed pepper blend, as part of a rub for a brisket this weekend. I would appreciate comments regarding the various types, strength, taste and ratio of blending them...

Jon, I actually bought a second top grill, to replace my lower grill. Like the earlier fella said, it rests nicely on the bolts, and I like the handles.

Well, yes. But that's ok. I mean, I have seen all the clever ways people set things up so they can grill on their wsm. And that's all fun. But really, for $160, a 22 inch kettle for grilling is really the answer. I think having a 18 wsm and a 22 kettle makes everything easier. What...

Oh, and they turned out great. Dark crispy bark. We just sat around the table and picked away at the plank. Pink smoke ring deep inside, with a sweet meat and an aromatic bark from all the toasted peppers.

I agree. Maple is wonderful. Sort of in the middle, not too strong, not too soft.

this morning, I had my peeps at Windsor meats set aside a full rack of prime rib bones, still all attached together. I have some new charcoal, the Wicked Good from Argentina. I built a large pile of this in the wsm, minion method. I place a split of maple on top of this. I added the...

I was posting before about having the faith to leave the vents alone. I believe that the best wsm system consists of a man and a dog. The man's sole job is to feed the dog. The dog's job is to prevent the man from fiddling with the wsm.

Yeah, Dave, I agree about the wood and the heat. I"m not that sure that the clay saucer system is such a great heat sink. Now, I do use that system. I place a pizza stone as a heat shield, and on top of the pizza stone, sits a wide, thick ceramic pot base. But I think it's only good as a...

Well, my two cents would be that the water pan is not needed, but only if a few other things are safely in place. I use lump instead of K, not because I don't like K, but just to reduce ash buildup. I get the lump really, thoroughly going, in a chimney, before adding it MM. I"m going to...

How about using the guru windbreak thingie as a cover?

Hey, whatever works for you. I just sold my gasser, as I was never using it. I think getting a really good starting system is part of dealign with the additional fuss around charcoal. I use a propane torch. also the veggie soaked paper towel method works well. Food takes time to...
