Steve..appreciate the offer..never used a stoker, but I think i will be a ways away in Norwalk. My cousins wedding present a year ago was a WSM, and he does not know how to use it so well, so it will be a mentoring/bbq day. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I would say that if he isn't going to use a guru or stoker, then teach him to cook without it. That was a VERY generous offer though! The fit of the access door, center section to charcoal bowl etc... may have an effect on temps, but if you watch the WSM temp and catch it on the way up, you'll be able to manage it just like you would yours.
