I'm thinking of making a mini-WSM setup to occasional use for my wife and I, mostly on camping trips. I have an older 14" Smokey Joe. As the title says: In 2023, what's the pot of choice for a Smokey Joe Mini-WSM? And are there any pitfalls or issues to be aware of in pot selection? Thanks

There's an entire sub-forum devoted to Mini-WSMs....... https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forums/mini-wsm.3163/

Notes so far: Dealing with "firebox" is an every ten minute thing. Either to move coals, reposition things, reignite to get a flame, etc. You always want to see fire. Always. I've done enough research on this to know what I should look out for. For this trial, I am keeping the ambient temp at...

I noticed the smoke wasn't as strong as what I wanted so I propped the lid open a bit and this helps considerably. Thanks! This is very helpful.

I hot smoke considerably more salmon and steelhead than cold smoking, but I have a mini WSM and upright drum smokers that work really good for cold smoking. I put my smoke tube in the bottom, and have all of the vents fully open. Sometimes I'll even use some 2X2s under the lid. You are not...

A long overdue Hello to all my friends here at SMF. Been a while since I've been here. Title kinda says it all. Got the Thermoworks Smoke X4 and the Billows temp controller, and when i use it, there is no smoke flavor at all. Noticed it on chicken, ribs and pork butt. If I run the smoker without...

Here is an article I wrote detailing my Mini-WSM build, and the charcoal baskets I made. http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/2006/02/weber-smokey-joe-tall-boy-smoker.html

Mini wsm. I take it all the time in the RV

Hi LanceR. I am also looking to build a mini-WSM setup in 2023. While I don't know which pot is the right one, I can verify a pot that does not work that was said to be a great fit a few years ago. I ordered the Vasconia 32 quart steamer from walmart.com recently. The interior of the pot is just...

Could not agree more, it is compact enough it doesn’t take up a lot of room and is a great cooker! Every time we camp, it’s the first thing packed!

...constant is my love to bbq! I got a new toy and thought to get back on here to keep my ideas inspired by you fine folks. Years ago I built a mini wsm, posted a video if you care to watch click that. It kinda sucked but surprisingly has 37,000 views, lol, since then I have been lost in a smoke...

I'm pretty much all Pecan in my smokers... Splits in the reverse flow... chunks in the Mini WSM... In the smokehouse for snack sticks and sausage I use pitmasters choice pellets mostly... which is Cherry/Hickory/Maple ... sometimes just straight pecan

I am with this guys and vote for the Mini WSM (homemade one) ... It's the most versatile, fuel conserving, set it and forget it (almost). grill/smoker out thehre IMO... NO modifications have to be made to the weber so it still can be used as a grill... The smoker part ( 32 qt steamer pot)...

I would re-think the miter saw. They can be very dangerous when cutting "irregular" pieces of wood like fire wood splits. They are not designed for that but are for processed wood like a 2x4 etc. They will work, but the issue is that sometimes they can "buck" when cutting splits which can be...

@JckDanls 07 ls, thanks for the info. One option to explore is the charcoal grate from a Jumbo Joe 18" grill. It's a bit smaller than the grate on a Smokey Joe. I dropped the charcoal grate from my Jumbo Joe onto the Smokey Joe and it barely caught the flange on the rim of the Smokey Joe. The...

Oh man, that post is 5 years old. I had just bought an OC Brazos. I'm waaay down the road from that, I now have a Franklin and all kinds of wood tools. But I need to add that sourcing wood is still a crap shoot. There's a lot of shady dealers out there , no tree pun intended. I've...

A whisky barrel should work great, with a few easy modifications. And later on, if you decide to throw in the towel, re-purpose the barrel in to flavor wood splits. A friend from Washington state buys wine barrels and sends boxes of splits out around Christmas. The base wood is oak, and the...

Thanks! That looks awesome!!

I think the 18" is called a jumbo Jo. I would have to look it up

...pot, the lid will fit on top of it... You just cut the bottom of the pot out leaving about a 1'' lip around it... Do a search here for a MINI WSM and you will find plenty of builds (albeit smaller 14'' smokey joe)... but it would be the exact same thing... IF ... you can find the right...
