Walked past , did 360 , can't believe it followed me home. And without Steve's help

Great score David. The WSM is a great cooker and your gonna love it.

Point for sure

The instructions do not say anything about a burn off, but I guess that will be done first.

No burn off is necessary. It's a porcelain coated body so no machine oils. Just wash the grates and body. There are a ton of WSM users on site. So if you need any help just sing out. There is also a million different mods out there for the WSM. I would do a few cooks on it before making any of them. The door fit used to be the biggest concern for air leakage. I'm not sure if Weber has addressed that issue. Your door does look different than mine does. So maybe they fixed it. Mine sealed up on it's own after a few cooks and doesn't leak anymore. Well I guess I should say it didn't leak the last time I used it. My 22 WSM has been in retirement since I got the 26" kettle. One final thing. The daisy wheel vents are most excellent for temp control.

So you mean bolt or fasten #6 to #7, do you have a smaller mesh added to the charcoal grate

Yes . Sister those parts together . I think I used SS clips for putting wire shelving together . I don't have the mesh on mine . You can also get another charcoal great and spin it 90 degrees to the other one . One works fine for me .

So do you normally light up a chimney to use of mostly just light it up in the smoker with the torch?

I only did that to burn the moisture out of it . It was full up to the vents . I pulled it apart yesterday and it's pretty rusty . Gonna scrub it today and get it fired up .

They are fun to use , but have a plan on where you can set the parts while cooking .

You done good, David!

That's just too cool! It's fun being our own enabler at times! I had a new toy show up today as well!

Did I miss it?

 

[Brokenhandle]

Did I miss it?

Nope, didn't miss it!

This beautiful new smoker showed up yesterday afternoon! In case any of you missed it, our friend Joel, ( seenred ) built this. Drove it up here from Oklahoma, dropped it off, visited for a bit, then took off for home again. Apparently he didn't want to stay and help make a snowman with our upcoming weather!

Nice Ryan . Congrats .
Damn , that's a haul .

 

[SmokinAl]

Nice score!
Had one & used it all the time, great for 2 people. Plenty of room & uses very little fuel.

I think it will be fun to play with this and see what I can cook on it , and maybe take to the Trailer , we will see.

That is good to know about the burn off, no problem to get into my shorts and t shirt and give it a good bubble bath. lol
And thanks on the hints about mods, will get a small table first , to bring up to my level . And like you said a couple cooks first before changing anything

I have some of those s hooks , so I will do that and I might put an extra grate in it so charcoal stays up inside a little longer .
Thanks for the tips about resting parts while cooking, cant wait to use it this weekend, weather still calling for good here , 21 C yesterday and 20 C today, loving it . Cold coming in on Tuesday.

That sucks about the water in yours , My BBQ does that every time it rains, have to check before I move it as the drip tray fulls up with water, nice mess on the deck.
