Great to see another Marylander! I just got my WSM a couple of days ago. Bought a gasket kit for it, and the probes came today. I want to set it all up tomorrow and hopefully have my first smoke in it on Saturday.

I'm also going to do JIR's mod for the heat probes: I have all the parts, and I passed the 90 deg. meat probe through the fittings today to make sure it goes through, which it did with no problem. (Thanks for all the advice, Johnny!)

I hope it's OK to mention this here, but another very informative site is this one:

Good luck! Can't wait to see the pictures when they come through......
