A little extra mass....

While changing brakes on my truck..... It occurred to me that the old brake rotors are perfect for adding quite a bit of mass to a WSM to help with temperatures stability after opening the lid, etc.... and free. I considered cast iron weight discs before... But they generally are a dollar a pound.
 
I don't get the whole loosing temp stuff after opening the lid.
Mine takes maybe 15 mins to reestablish whatever temp I had so what is the purpose of adding brake dust to a cook?
 
I don’t understand why people seem to have so many headaches with temperature control. As I have said before “If you learn the basic techniques, the thing almost takes care of itself.” It’s a brilliant design!
I don’t open the lid unless something is just going on or coming off. Other than that, just leave it alone.
