It’s seems like I take take..but decided to give the WSM’ some love .. I haven’t used the 18 yet with the new door mod but I have used the 14 for 2 smokes so far. I have to say that the new fire dial runs a bit hotter but maintained the heat for longer than the water tray. I will be on the learning curve for a bit longer for sure

BBryans3 Looks great!. My WSM has a gasket around the door that came on it, but still will leak some smoke. I thought about getting one of those LL doors but along came a PBC….

Yep, any kind of door on the PBC would be nice. I’m thinking though that a door would affect the way the air flows around and up the barrel. Kinda makes you wonder if the guy who created PBC company ever tried to put in a door and found it changed the thermodynamics too much.
