Hey all, as stated above built a mini WSM with my kiddos... This was a kick in the pants to do.... May have taken them a lot less time if I wasn't in the way !!

Before the build, gotta give a shout out to Adam (c farmer) , Case (Dirtsailor2003) & Keith (FWISmoker) ! Thanks for your input & help guys !

:beercheer:

Got the pot traced out & cut with the jigsaw... I will later cut out & attach the pot lid to the underside of the pot !

I probably will do it just for kicks Adam... It was the original plan but wanted to fire it up this afternoon for the first smoke, but.... Then the ribs we got are going back to the store in the morning for our money back ! Not sure what the hell was wrong with them, but damn ! They stunk, bad !
