As most of you know, the Vasconia 32 quart tamale pot was the preferred pot for the Mini. These are no longer available. CaseT posted about this pot a while back...(that's his pic) A local store here, Bimart, sells the Hoffritz 32 quart and I can confirm that it fits the Smoky Joe perfectly ...

I'm not a fan of the OEM plastic wheels with their flimsy construction, inside "spider pockets" and Jeep tread. I've seen where some have used golf cart wheels or lawnmower wheels for replacements, so I thought I'd give it a go. I used these wheels... Shaft spacers... The operating room...

Building a cooking area...can anyone tell me what the overall assembled height of a Mini WSM is ? Thanks in advance.

I just started using a 24" diameter, plastic hot water heater catch pan for a soak basin. Home Depot $9.98 + 1" PVC plug or you could valve it and connect to a hose drain. Works great for up to 22.5" grates.

~ Parts and Methods The Weber bezel part number is 63027. This will lead you to 18.5 WSM but it is currently being used on all units using a 1-3/4" diameter thermometer face. It is the lower profile, smooth bezel which I prefer over the higher profile, "fluted" bezel used in previous years...

I used Malcolm Reed's marinade as a baseline and modified it some... Korean Beef Marinade 1 tsp Sesame Seeds 1 TBSP Ground Black Pepper 2 tsp Ground Ginger (or 2 TBSP fresh) 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder (or 3-4 cloves or 1-1/2 tsp minced) 1/2 tsp Onion Powder 1/4 Cup Dk. Brown Sugar (packed)...

Flanken Cut Ribs NW Style These are Flanken cut ribs from the beef short rib section. I selected them for their wide "meat band"...I like 1-3/4" wide (not including bone) or better. I've been getting some nice product from Safeway and QFC, but you have to ask for "the good stuff." They are cut...

I wanted to add a therm cable port on my '99 WSM and decided I would use Weber's location on the 2014. It's 3-1/2" triangulated from the two adjacent grill strap bolts. I also wanted something smaller than the OEM port so I could avoid drilling a large hole. The smallest hole that the Maverick...

This was a great article by Margo True in the August 2013 issue of Sunset http://www.sunset.com/travel/california/santa-maria-bbq-00418000083999/ I've been hoarding some Oregon Ash that I'm going to try in the kettle this summer.

For those using the new 2014 Temp Probe Port with cabled probes (i.e. Maverick, etc)... Looks like it would provide good access to both grates from one location. What do you think of this location for cabled probes ?

Has anyone found a straight-walled pot (as opposed to Vasconia's lower indent) that will work for the Mini ?

I bought a used 18.5 WSM that had a bad chip in the lid. Looked like a lawnmower threw a stone at it and made a direct hit, even tearing the cover fabric slightly. I read everything that I could find on porcelain repair and nothing really sounded very promising. Heat range was the deal-breaker...

Remove the OEM locator tab Bezel and Therm Triangulate from handle strap 5" Bit selection UniBit cutter is "Sharpied" so that I stop BEFORE that cutter engages Hole is started through the blue tape with a sharp 1/8" bit...NO CENTERPUNCH needed. Go slowly, stay square (perpendicular) to...

Been experimenting with pizza on 22.5 kettle. So far my best result has been to... Use real pizza dough vs. the flatbread Elevate the pizza stone 3" (sits on veg basket) Don't worry about perfect "rounds"...a rough rectangular shape fits the stone better anyway Using the Weber charcoal baskets...

I'm thinking about updating my older WSM with the new legs and possibly the heat shield. Can anyone tell me what the heat shield diameter is on the later model WSM ?

I have a 18.5" WSM "EE" code which makes it a 1999. It has the older style, narrow-stance leg kit. Will the newer "wider-stance" leg kit fit this older WSM without drilling new holes ?
