Charcoal Management

Rusty. I always fill up the charcoal ring to the max on every cook. If you can mitigate having to add more coals during the cook, then that's a good thing. I can actually put two more layers on top, coz I don't use the water pan. Just a terracotta pizza serving dish. This also gives easy access to the charcoal ring if you have to add any more fuel. [I'll find the pic and put it up].

Is there such a thing for the 18.5" model?

Sounds like something that I would want to use.

Rusty. I'm sure you could find one by doing a Google. I think 14.5" would be good for the 18.5" WSM. Buy one that is unglazed.

You might be able to find one here. http://www.houzz.com/photos/3499393...za-Dish-Set-of-2-rustic-pizza-pans-and-stones

Thanks much, Tony.

Come to think of it, in my state, there is a big interest in pottery making. Local artists & such make and sell the stuff by the mother-lode. I may ask around and see if I can get one custom made to fit my smoker. I'll post back if I do.

What about the bottom of a flower pot? (the part that holds the pot itself)

Some stores have a large selection of these (unglazed), but there may be a hole in the bottom.

I'm guessing you mean the saucer type deal that the flower pot sits on? I see no reason why that wouldn't work. Hole in the bottom is no big deal, just foil the whole thing for easy clean up.

Edit: I would think a 14.5" pizza stone would be just as good too.
