I have a Meco stainless electric bullet smoker and plan to mod to charcoal. Here is my plan after reading a bunch of the readers posts on WSM mods.
1. remove electric element
2. add weber vents top and bottom
3.reuse water pan as ash catcher.
4. use weber charcoal holder with grate wired in
when I go this route where will the best place be to locate the charcoal grate, right above ash catcher/water pan or a few inches above for air circulation? I don't plan to use water at all and will be smoking fish-tuna, salmon, etc.
I had unfortunate experience with salmon flavored turkey breast so this smoker will be only for fish once I season very well and very hot.
Thanks Mike
