Hi guys I'm in the UK, so am no help whatsoever in sourcing you a pot. But, just to say, if you do manage to find yourself a Sonex #6, they're a perfect fit. Took me years to construct my mini (same problem as you - tamale pots aren't exactly a thing in South Wales!)...

That looks fantastic. I'm craving chicken now. And it's gone midnight where I am!

Thanks! I confess I didn't this time. Just rubbed it and bunged it in. I was busy doing other stuff so just left it to its own devices! Thanks! It ran for about about 5 hours at 275 (lit with Minion method). There was loads of fuel (restaurant grade lump) left. It could have gone on for far...

Quite frankly, that looks like it may very well be the Best. Thing. Ever! Looking forward to the finished pics...

Thanks for the lovely comments, guys. Much appreciated. Cliff (and Brian) - I can highly recommend those laces - I have some silicon ones for regular cooking, then I noticed these grill specific ones last time I was in the US. They've proved invaluable to harness falling apart bits of meat...

Finally did a shoulder on my new Mini - my third cook with it. I can't express how impressed I am with these little things. Temp was steady as a rock. Went for hours and there was still loads of charcoal left when I was done. Incredible scenes! Anyway, here's my cook. A boneless shoulder (it...

Aw, dammit! I stopped in on the way home today to have a look too. Lots of Sonex. No #6s... Sorry Dave!

Hi Dave - Apologies for the delay, been offline for a few days. The shop I got my Sonex pot from was a hardware store called One Price just off the Edgware Rd. https://plus.google.com/107270226996492269153/about?gl=uk&hl=en I passed it on the way home from work today (I live/work in London...

Welcome to Blighty! There are some folk over here who know how / like to smoke and or grill properly! :)

Thanks everyone. Bec - where in London are you? I (eventually, after months of looking and measuring!) got the pot from a hardware store on Church St (NW1), just off the Edgware Rd...

Heh. Thank you. Only a rookie with my Mini-WSM, Jonathan. Been smoking for a few years now using my 22" OTG… :)

Hi Stephen Just had a look at the hi-res of the pic, seems it's a '6' and capacity of 28Litres. Here's the entire label in case there's anything else helpful you can discern from it! Hope that helps, and good luck with your search.

Took advantage of the day off today and spent it smoking… It was the first run of my new Mini. http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?50733-My-build-the-first-Welsh-Mini-WSM For wood I used maple and apple, and I'm happy to report that Smokey kept to temp very nicely. I'm *so* impressed with these...

Fantastic build. Love the portability touches. Nice one, sir!

Thanks so much for the kind words, Joe. I must confess I was really pleased how it turned out. I took it for its maiden voyage today and it performed brilliantly. (Will post some pics later.) I'd read so much about these little things online for the last few years and was desperate to have a go...

Thanks guys! It's getting a run out today. Just took delivery of a box of sugar maple chunks from the US this morning (I think my postman thinks I'm nuts!), and I've got a couple of hams ready to go...

Aha. I was going to say that I managed to find one, but being across the Atlantic probably wasn't of much use to you! Sorry! Also, Russell Y, this guy is a girl... ;-)

Hi Bec I felt your pain, believe me! Don't know if it's too late or if you're still looking (or where you are in London), but after months and months of looking I managed to get a 28L Sonex brand pot that fits perfectly at a hardware store just off the Edgware Rd (Marylebone flyover end)...

Thanks so much for the lovely welcome everyone. And thanks for the picture help, Bear! I hope I've put it in the right place, but I thought I'd introduce my new Mini as promised (threatened). http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?50733-My-build-the-first-Welsh-Mini-WSM It's had a burn in already...

Hello Having gained all the knowledge to build one of these little blighters here, I thought it only right to post the fruits of my labours. I got the Smokey Joe secondhand from Gumtree (kinda like Craigslist) for £10 last summer, but it was tricky to find a pot with the correct dimensions in...
