Hello all,
I found the forums while browsing the web on how to use my Weber 22.5 kettle to smoke. After a few days of reading I found our about the Mini WSM and I was immediately intrigued by it and decided to build one.
I Started out by searching for a pot locally. I found one at a target but was out of round and passed on it. After a few days of searching, I finally found one at a local Mexican market for $14.00.

The lid fit pretty tight but thought I could crimp the rim around the pot.

My first modification was the lower vent arm extension.

I had a buddy at work cut make me a charcoal basket and one charcoal grate from expanded steel.

I cut out the bottom of the pot leaving a rim like others mentioned for support.

I used an 11" pie pan from Marshalls as my diffuser.

Here it is with the top grate and thermometer probe through the lamp feed through(forgot the name).

I decided to use the charcoal basket for the first test run and the minion method. You learn a lot from reading here

Ready to go

All ready for its test run.
