What is the purpose of the aluminum disk under the WSM? Is it just a heat shield? How many just remove it?
Yeah, this problem is unique to the 14.5" WSM, given that the heat shield lives inside the bottom of the charcoal bowl. Yes, you can remove the heat shield if the WSM is sitting on a fireproof surface. Or you can do this mod and move it outside the cooker like on the other two WSMs.If you have the WSM on a oil drip pan can you remove the heat shield? I’m looking to create a little more room for ash in my wsm14
That's why I took mine of my 22.5" WSM. All kinds of crap got stuck under there.I just scored an 18" WSM and the heat sheild is all beat to snot. I will just toss it and not replace it after I rehab it.View attachment 88765
