22.5 wsm rescued from the trash

A couple of weeks ago, I was driving down the street and saw a wsm sitting out by the trash cans in front of one of my neighbors house.

I pulled over and asked him if he was throwing it away, he said he had lost the lid during a move and that I could have it.

So, I took home a 22.5 wsm in good condition and complete except without a lid.





I found that I could sort of balance the lid from my kettle on it, so I decided to try out out with a brisket.







They came out great!

I needed a better solution for a lid, and i noticed that the bottom part of a weber kettle looked a lot like a wsm lid, so I test fitted it with my kettle



It was a perfect fit!!

So I got on craigslist, and found a weber grill with no lid out legs for $10.




This weekend I'm going to install a handle and a thermometer, and call it done.
 
Congrats on the score and the fantastic thinking. May be the cheapest 22 WSM put together. Great job!
