Light coats so it doesn't drip. Took me three coats to do mine. Done in about 15 minutes.

I have found my tamale steamer 42$ up here in Canada but did not have to pay shipping and I scored a vintage brand new Smokey Joe with wooden handles 10$. I just spent an hour looking for info where to cut. I'm using a jigsaw with a metal blade and was wondering where would be the perfect place to cut, if I understood correctly it would be an inch or so
from where it curves to the bottom. Thanks guys.

Hi Anthony
A fellow Canadian having trouble locating a suitable pot to use. Where did you find yours?
 
Howdy, Anthony!

Congratulations on finding the SJ and the tamale pot in the GWN!

Here is a link to the charcoal basket I fashioned for my set up.
RHHutchins

The diameter is roughly that of the charcoal grate. I put unlit around the perimeter and lit in the middle in a modified Minion approach. I put hardwood chunks between the outer edge of the basket and the SJS - just a few to give it flavor. I then place a lit coal next to each hardwood chunk.
