For those that bought the Jumbo Joe Premium, have you thought about converting it to a 22" WSM?
From what I've read on this forum, this JJP (Jumbo Joe Premium) has a shallow lower bowl so the grate is closer to the coals than the original 22" kettles. This is great for direct grilling, but may not perform as good indirect as the original 22".
I would think converting this to a 22" WSM would be cheaper than buying a 22" WSM. I want to discuss this with everyone because I currently have a Jumbo Joe (18") and want to convert it to a 18" WSM. I think parts for a 22" WSM will be easier to find along with having more grill/smoking space would be worth going the JJP conversion.
