I have looked around for a replacement latch for the WSM and only can find the Southco latch from Amazon and Cajun Bandit. Is $19.12 plus $9.70 shipping on Amazon and $25 plus shipping on CB.
Anyone know of an alternative? Seems crazy that the latch costs more than the door
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).
Contact Weber. My bro in law dropped a Weber lid which was about 10yrs old. Told them he dropped it and wanted to buy a new one. They sent it gratis and thanked him for being a good customer.

The difference is striking. Much easier to control a steady temp. Like MH says in the WSM review, it is odd that Weber puts such a crappy door in its product. I had put gaskets around the door and that helped a bit but the new door is a huge upgrade. Next up is the hinge

I replaced the door with the Cajun Bandit one before they had the new latch. Now that they sell the latch, it looks like if you buy them separately you have to drill out the hole in the door to fit it. If you buy them together it comes fitted. True?
Yes, scorched_porch the latch comes attached to the door. I had to drill a hole and had to get some oil to put around the hole while drilling. Had to buy a unitbit as well
Thanks, I did this last month and I was amazed at the speed the Unibit flew through that stainless. I replaced the latch in about 3 minutes. Now I have the hinge, the Cajun Bandit Door, nomex gaskets on the door and the BBQ Guru eyelets for the temp probes. I have a stoker port for a Party Q and I'm done. It's so much tighter now.
