New 14.5 WSM
Seen a post on here awhile back about Weber coming out with a smaller version of the WSM. Not sure if anyone else posted about this yet but seen the 14.5 advertised in the paper today. Gary- garyinmd

Thanks Skelly, I can see that I used way too many coals, had the basket over flowing by the time I added the hot ones to the top. Still holding at 5 hours, edited post above to 4 hours. Gary -

Thanks BD. I just have the diffuser in this trip. Also forgot to add at the beginning of my original post I had a mixture of KB and lump in my plastic container so it was a mix of both. From using lump before it seems to burn hotter so this could be part of the problem. As farmer stated food... -

Still a bit left, I opened one of the bottom vents a bit and it went back over 300 deg pretty quick. It has been 4 hours since I started the burn so now just checking to see what run time I get, I know running hot probably cost me some time. EDITED TIME, Gary -

Thanks farmer, guess the only way to crud it up is to use it. Going to be out of town for a couple of day so will have to play when I get back. Started to drop pretty quick so might be running out of coals, Opened bottom a bit and now steady at 285 deg. Gary -

Thanks Mdboatbum, never thought of that. When I filled it the coals were up into the bottom pot a bit and the wood chunks we towards the top which is why there is so much smoke. I did add the top to the bottom of the pot and gained a good inch of height but no big deal to drill out the rivets... -

Due a search for "Mini" in the search bar and you will get a ton of info, many others have already invented the wheel. Gary -

Either the coals are running our or closing the top helped, around 280 deg right now. If I can get it down I know I will need to add coals later for the tri-tip, this was more of an experiment and burn in. Gary -

If your lucky enough to find some of the items on Craigslist they can be pretty cheap to make. I ended up having to buy everything new. Smokey Joe Gold online $32 Steam pot at Target $25 New grate from hardware store $15 Bolts, nuts misc $15 The above is from memory but pretty close.. Gary -

Fired up the new Mini today and can not get the temps below 300 Deg. Want to do a tri-tip later but 300+ seems to hot. I have both bottom vents shut, just closed top vent about half, not sure if this will help. Nothing special on the build, been watching the builds on here and copied. Here... -

When using premixed spices I always find it to be a little on the weak side for taste. I usually will use less meat than called for. For instance if using a packet that is good for 5 pounds of meat I will only use 4 pounds. One thing you must do if cutting back on meat is ADJUST THE AMOUNT OF...
