I am currently thinking about buying a WSM if I can mod it to electric. I know, blasphemy, but CA law says no open flame on my (flammable) balcony. So, in order to smoke I have to do what I have to do.
I don't want to drill holes in the enamel coated parts, so I am thinking I might install the heating element in the door instead, but I cannot tell from any drawings I have found whether it will fit.
With that in mind I am trying to find a way to check for clearance. All I need is to measure an 18" WSM for the gap between the bottom edge of the door opening and the bottom of the water pan.
Think of a horizontal heating element coming through the bottom of the access door into the WSM. Would it hit the pan, or is there space.
I beg the indulgence of anyone who can provide the answer. Measuring the gap in inches would be ideal. I will happily quote anyone as a helper if I get the chance to post a mod.
