jet_olson Looking forward to seeing your mods. My WSM has been modded with the Cajun Bandit door and charcoal ring and the Unknown BBQ lid hinge. I've never put in gaskets on the cooker joints, however, nor casters.

jfmorris I think thats my problem.....getting a good digital probe setup...the one I bought seems to have issues after a few cooks and I wind up having to resort back to using the analog thermometer. I just got a IGrill 2 and will try that today. I have a big cook so wish me luck. (Pork Shoulder, 3 racks of ribs and some pork belly burnt ends)

Cook was brutal on Saturday...winds were terrible...couldnt keep the temp. First 4 hours were ok then it broke loose. The winds kicked up and I couldnt get the pit over 192 degrees....even full open...I think the wind accelerated my coal burn (full open) and I had to go to plan B...its a long story that involved both my Genesis II and my oven as well as my pit firing back to life later in the day. The end result worked out but it was my toughest cook by far. Here are some pics....3 racks of ribs, Pork Shoulder, and pork belly burnt ends.... hope you enjoy....
ecowper I also included some picks of my WSM with mods (specifically the gaskets and the casters).

jfmorris I bought the IGrill2 and loved it. Comparing its temps to the analog temp gauge is laughable...it was funny how around 230 to 240 they were off by 5 degrees tops....above or below it changed exponentially.

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.
