A Mini WSM.....

Brilliant!

I seen these on the web before, but never knew anyone who built one

For additional height, could you "Stack" the stock pots?

Great job!  I just ordered the stuff to make one of these off of the internet two weeks ago before we left on vacation.  Guess now that I am back I better get crackin.

I dont think the 2 pots i have would stack beings they are both the same size. Maybe if the upper poy was a tad smaller to slip down bout 1/2" or make some sort of brackets for the top one to lock onto the bottom.

Doing the can over the bottom vent. I used my step drill bit to do the holes.

I have got to use that "ash deflector" or what ever it is called..... my air holes will plug with ash and I use a bent wire to clean them out.. that is such a good idea....

I had the wsmjr sitting on another smoker but the wind came up and it got unstable.

This is what i will change on the other pot.

Lower the top grate from 3" to 4.5"

Drill larger holes on the lower vent cover.

Still was a great 1st smoke.

PP looks great and I really love the WSMJR...outstanding job! If I want one I'll have to build it though (and I'm sure I can). 

Instead of the pot, could I use rolled stainless steel? BF works for a sheet metal company and I'm sure I can get him or the shop to roll the steel for me.

Nice! Now all you need is a killer paint job!

Hi Dave, yeah I moved in with my grandmother temporarily (which is where I was keeping my smokers) since my apartment lease was up and we are planning on moving out of the state in the next couple of months.

Nice work - looks like it produced a great result!

 

[BGKYSmoker]

I like the Jolly Roger design.

nepas, Howdy;

Thanks for posting The step-by-step...

Trying to wrap my head around doing one of these myself.

Question(s) ... How do you like the holes in the bottom ?? seeing where alot of folks are just cutting

the bottom out ... do you think you'll cut it out later??

Thanks again for posting this.
