Adding Vents to WSM Lid

[Vaughan]

Why would you want to add another set of vents to the WSM lid? I see this as one of the mods.

Thanks much.....

Adding a vent to the lid will add draft.
This in turn will cause accelerated combustion in the pit, raising temps.
This mod avoids the neccessity of utilizing other methods, such as hooking the door upside-down, and propping open.

Thanks for the great advice guys. I just ordered the vent kit, I cook alot of chickens so this vent will come in handy.

Glen W thanks for link. I'm copying your layout, I like the vent placements and the thermometer placement. Great site great tips. I'm new the the RMS so this site really helps guys like me out. Thank again everbody for the great advice.

Yep, great idea! I'm doing this mod, no more propping the door open here. Thanks Glenn!

I picked up a 3 pack off of Ebay for $7.95. Think I will do the mod. Not sure what I will do with the other 2.

Nice mod! I don't have a WSM but doing this on my UDS with a dome lid.
