This is a project that I've been working on here and there for the last 4 months or so.
I was trying to think of a creative name for it, but I guess Stainless Steel Super Smokey Mountain with gas assist will do (SS SSM). I was lucky enough to have a custom sprayed 22" WSM shell offered up to me. The color is burgundy. Basically its a WSM center section and lid, matched up to a gas ignition Performer bowl, onto a stainless Performer table.
Some of the upgraded areas included a Cajun Bandit stainless steel door, addition of a high temp Nomex gasket behind the Cajun Bandit Door, and on the top of the center section where the lid rests on. Also replaced the original WSM door latch with a new compression style latch. With this latch, and the Nomex gasket, this door is super tight and leak free. A nice upgrade to probably what was the weakest link of the WSM. Lastly, what project would be complete without a nice set of Brian's (Zavod's) custom handles?!
Special thanks to a friend that was generous enough to offer the custom shell up.
Thanks to Brian for having an SS Performer cart at the right time in amazing condition to use, and a sweet set of handles.
A huge thanks to RR for a super generous gift in parts to get me close to finishing this project up.
Here are the photos. Hope you all enjoy them. You will notice the first bunch of photos were taken out of the direct sun, the last bunch were taken with the sun out.

These were the pics in direct sun after it finally came out.
