OK so I will recognize that this has been done before, it wasn't until I had a problem that needed to be solved that I put it to use for me.
Problem:
How do I cook a massive 16 lb brisket that will not fit on any cooker? split it? no way
what do I do with a gifted very beat up C code used as a fire pit, parts were good, kettle was trashed? Thanks
@mattlillis73 this went to good use
You make a FSM (Franken Smokey Mountain)
I am getting some Nomex that I ordered prior to this to seal the door, now I will be applying it at the base of the kettle to seal gap and protect the WSM
