Hello everyone,

I just finished my mini WSM. I did a maiden run last sunday and the smoker did it's job perfect.
Here are some pictures:

After a few months of trying and testing I can conclude that the mini WSM works like it should work.
Low fuel usage, extinguishes when closing air vent (airtight build) and perfectly smoked food.
 
Wow, SS pot...That's taking it to next level!!! I would have had a hard time painting the SS pot, but it came out nice and looks great. You're going to love that Mini
 
I've upgraded my mini with the new model Smokey Joe with air vents on the sides.
The ash did kill the air flow of the old model at long cooks. Guess the new model solves this problem.

Upgraded my mini again.

Added a stainless steel water pan instead of a terra cotta pan.

Now it's a lot easier to keep the mini stable on low temperatures. I fill the pan with boiling water.
 
Sure I can! :D

Some baby back ribs:

And even more ribs (love them when fall off the bone):

And lots more.

Nowadays (since 1 year more or less) I have a Kamado Joe Classic II, but still use the Mini WSM often.
It works perfect, especially since I installed the water pan and is perfect for tailgating.

The grill grates are getting rusty, so I'm searching voor SS grates in the same size at the moment.
Currently I used the lower grates from the WSM 14", since the Smokey Joe grillgrates are a little too big for my pan (13 inch vs 13.5 inch).
