OK now you need to mod it out. Go to the Cajun Bandit website and shop for all the goodies; new stainless door, hold downs, wheels for those legs and a hinge for the lid. That will get you going. You then need to invest in a Fireboard and Pit Viper control fan. Oh the joys of dressing her up !! Good smoker, good choice !!
Too true! I think I have more in my mods now than I have in my WSM, that I spotted in a garage sale going by at 40 mph. SWMBO was thrilled for sure haha

I'll see how it works, before I go down that rabbit-hole!
I know all about mods. I own 5 kettles, and use a couple as smokers, (first with a Smokenator, and now the SnS), so I've got smoking down, pretty good.
My knee jerk reaction is to do just that but, if I can get her dialed in without any mods, I'll be fine with that.
Well...almost no mods...I'm going to cut a notch in it for my temperature probes...😅
What you’re going to not like is taking the lid off and having to constantly find a place to set it down. That means a hinge. What happens with the hinged lid is it becomes top heavy and the center section wants to collapse if you’re not careful. I know, happened to me, lost a fingernail last time. That means hold downs. Got it? Trust me you’ll get there !!!’
Awesome pick up! I have the 22 and love it. I 2nd the mentioned add-ons, have the Cajun bandit SS door and larger coal basket and the FireBoard/Pit viper combo.
