I've used the wsm a few times now and am starting to get comfortable with cooking on it. One thing I've noticed is since I've installed the lid therm, my temps seem to be easier to control and maintain. I theorize it's because I don't have the probe cable under the lid holding it up very slightly. Is this just in my head? Either way, I will not run a probe cable under the lid anymore. Also, I think I'm going to install the silicone probe gasket thingy that the new ones come with. The tighter it runs the better it seems. Along these same lines, I either need to replace the door latch so the factory door fits tighter or I need a cb door. I'm leaning towards the cajun bandit route.
