Based on all the research the WSM is the best so I got one. Played around with smoking on my gas grill. Don't laugh at the pic -
Food was good enough I was convinced to embark on this new art of smoking.
Invested in the WSM 22. Have the Maverick thermo, I can't stand the idea of drilling a hole in my new WSM so I'm just running the wires under the lid.
Braided wire, lid seems to seal well enough. Besides the fact the thing isn't meant to be airtight and there are vents in bottom, top, and a giant door that isn't sealed I think it might be OK.
I did make a shelf for the Maverick to sit on - some aluminum, a deck board, and a felt strip to protect WSM powder coat:


Going to add Genie garage door handles tonight. So far have smoked pork shoulder, chicken and ribs.
Doing turkey and ribs this weekend. Anyone ever but bricks or a rock in the bottom as suggested here?

I think the water pan is the heat sink, think dealing with bricks or lava rocks or something every time during cleanup would be a pain...
 
Welcome aboard Alan! Just for your information you can't directly download pictures from your computer
here. Follow this link to show you what needs to be done! Not sure what you meant after looking at
that link from amazingribs, but if you don't use water in your pan, then either foil it or do what a lot of
us do and buy a clay dish that will fit in the water pan and it will act as a heat sink.
 
Thanks, love it already. Yeah, will have to learn how to load pics. Amazing Ribs folks suggested putting 4 bricks in the charcoal grate and filling around the bricks, the fuse or snake vs Minion...
