    Any advantage to using a stock or modified kettle bottom?

    Thanks. I already have the door and gasket kit in my cart. I was considering purchasing a canjun bandit rotisserie or stacker for my 18.5 wsm to increase it's height when hanging full size sparerib racks(I already own a hanger rack but found without cutting the racks in half they hang too close...

    Any advantage to using a stock or modified kettle bottom?

    Been smoking on my wsm since 2005. Never had an issue with kbb briquettes. Since going to more natural briquettes like Weber, Royal oak natural and chefs reserve, and burning lump my wsm has issues with temps while leaving the exhaust vent fully open and my intakes fully closed.

    Any advantage to using a stock or modified kettle bottom?

    John, thanks for the input. I will keep the krylon grill/stove paint off the list. It seems like the VHT paints may be a good choice. I remember painting my brake calipers a long time ago on my first car and the paint held up like a champ, even considering the extremely poor prep job i did on...

    Rust repair, best topcoat?

    It depends on what type of food I am cooking. For high heat cooks for turkey and chicken I do not. For pork shoulders I do not. I use water for ribs and brisket. However, I do not see the relavence to my situation. The rust has deveoped on the edeges of the rim, in the rolled section. Mine is...

    Hello. I've had my smoker for about 3 years now. I always keep it covered with the weber cover however i plan to start using a trash bag over the OEM cover to prevent water from getting in from here on out.
