I've narrowed down my choice to either an 18.5" or 22.5" WSM as of now (originally was going to go with a Traeger) but after reading all of the positive reviews, I'm pretty much sold.
With that, while GOOGLING and reading here on the forums, it looks like there are a lot of mods that can be and/or should be done to optimize the smoker to it's greatest potential. Here is what I've found so far needed to make WSM "great again"....see what I did there, lol.
1. Guru BBQ CyberQ Cloud
2. Upgraded aftermarket stainless steel door
3. Hinge for lid
4. Handles for sides
5. Caster Wheels
6. Upgraded Thermostat (which would you recommend)
7. Chimney
8. Gasket to seal front door
9. Extra grate on bottom to keep small charcoal from falling through OEM grate
10. Terra-cotta saucer instead of water inside water bowl
As well as what's in these links:

Anything else you all have done?
The one thing I'd like it a table/tray for me to put things on and I've seen a few things on Pinterest, but nothing during my searches here for a table/tray mounted accessory.
