22.5 wsm rescued from the trash

[Clint]

that thing will probably excel at high heat cooks with as much air flow those vents will allow - no propped door or offset lid for you!

 

[Ernest]

And already modded with handles to boot!!
ENJOY!!

That was a heck of a score.

I wonder is Weber would send/sell you a new lid?

I'm pretty sure they do. I called and ordered parts recently and they had a kettle lid available. I didn't need one but they had them. The price might be prohibitive thought.

I'm trying to keep it cheap, and I now suspect that the bowl from a kettle is what they use to make the wsm lid. It makes sense from a manufacturers point of view to have to fabricate as few unique parts as possible.

And with July 4th coming you already have your flag holders ready for a day of grilling!

That's an awesome idea, I was going to grind them off, but now maybe I'll wait until after next weekend.

Ribs for today's cook

Seems kind of leaky, could probably use a gasket

 

[Greg B.]

Great find! That is so cool how you improvised!

 

[Steve Cleveland]

There is nothing wrong with that, great save.

 

[JasonQuevada]

nice save!

 

[Doug Selman]

Nice score! You could leave the leg sockets on and make a 3 sided (triangular) handle for the top of the lid. Maybe using some tubing or conduit?

 

[Hamilton Barnes]

love the quick and easy solutions!! Love it!!

 

[Tony A]

nice work. you put together a smoker for LESS than the price of a rib dinner, out!

 

[David Purvis]

How lucky can one man get!

 

[Benjamin A]

A wsm has been in my list of things to get for years, now I can't believe that I used a cheap offset smoker for years. I didn't have to add fuel for twelve hours when I did the brisket, simply an amazing smoker.

 

[GaryB-Alberta]

Great find, way to make it work.

 

[S.Six]

Awesome rescue! That brisket looks fantastic too!
