Clamp or latch to connect charcoal chamber to main body

[J Bowie]

I am learning the ropes on a 22.5 WSM. I have added the lid hinge, a 3rd rack for jerky and sausage, the Cajun Bandit door. I have concerns about the dangerof knocking the mid section off the base. I envision some sort of latch like found on luggage. Any ideas or comments.

Here's a latch that I've seen others install. http://www.specialized.net/Speciali...placement-Latch-Set-STAINLESS-STEEL-3877.aspx

I always had similar concerns of tipping and stuff. When the mid section is loaded up, it's pretty heavy and stable.

All that being said, this mod below helps make it more stable and gets you the benefit of grilling capabilities too.

You can get a pair of latches from Reliable Hardware on the web for $4.25 each plus shipping, I'm bout ready to order a pair for my WSM18, shipping looks real high but by mail I think it was about $10.

I have concerns about the dangerof knocking the mid section off the base.

Can you give an example of how-so? I've read tons of threads here and don't recall any where that was an issue.
For transporting, sure - I can understand. But normal use? Wouldn't be a problem as they're quite stable.

If anyone has done this mod, can you please post pictures for reference?
Thanks, Bob
