You're excellent at it. Your correct, very thin. My basket had weld boogers all over it. But it's functional!!Damn stuff is thin and hard to weld.
Good thing I am good at it.
Looks great! How did the temp run during the smoke?

That's one of the best features about the mini. I have no problem leaving the mini and running a quick errand if I have to during a long cook. (yes I only do that when I know there is no possibility of it burning down half the neighborhood)
Thanks Case.
Amazed at how easy temps are to change and then make steady again.
Thanks. I have tricks to weld thin stuff.
Let me know if you want to know them.

Old thread here peachey
Mine is now with my oldest son. He loves it.I still use mine alot.
I want to here your tip. Even if it is an old thread it’s still relevant.
I'm still building them for friends during this pandemic. They all love it and one them also owns a 14 WSM but prefers to take my build with him camping because of the size. PS I have made 2 from the gold SJ and I prefer the Silver because I have the bottom vent and I can add additional three holes in the bottom bowl over the legs and have magnets control airflow. I pretty much run around 190-225 during smoking and then all the way up to 350 with the vents wide open. It runs steady for up to 7-8 hours sessions. I have a 6 inch tall fire basket that I built that maximizes charcoal and pretty much just check in every few hours with a thermapen.An oldie but goodie Adam.

Is this the grill you used?Got a vasconia pot black friday for 28 bucks shipped.
Fits perfect on my test dummy.
Used the charcoal grate out of my 14" cheapo Walmart grill to trace out the bottom.
Drilled a hole and a jig saw to cut it out. Be careful on this part, the pot is thin.
The bottom cut out.
First grate installed and bolts for the second grate which ist here yet.
Grate and diffuser installed.
El cheapo thermo. It is so cheap it wont even take a good picture.
The gold joe will be here on tuesday, depends on when if I finish the mini tuesday or wensday.
Stay tuned.
