Hi everyone,
For years I have used a cheap Sears knockoff of the WSM (link below). It has worked pretty good for me over the years, but it is finally starting to fall apart. Unfortunately I don't have the funds to purchase a WSM (although I would love one). I have a weber kettle (just the standard one) and have seen some conversion kits that are stackers making it more like a WSM. Cajun bandit and Smoke EZ are two that I have seen.
Does anyone have any experience with these? Are they worth it? Instead of buying a new smoker I was thinking of using one of these and then I could still use my kettle as normal. Any opinions on which setup is better? Also, it looks like you can really only use the top grate as the bottom one appears to be too close to the coals. What do you do if you need to do a bigger turkey? If I could only use the top grate, wouldn't the lid hit? (Instead of being able to use the 2nd grate like in the WSM)
