Hola Amigos
Saludos
So I recently scored on SJG 14" 1991 for 10dlls
I have read some articles and seen some videos for converting (don't know if this is the correct word I'm looking for) this in to what's called a "mini WSM"
What are your valuable thoughts and recommendations on this
As I'm thinking on going for it...
I live in Juarez Mexico so it should be easy to find an Olla Tamalera (tamale steamer pot) I might even get my moms olla ;)
Nah! Better not!!!

They make great little cookers. You can fit a surprising amount of food into it as well.

Guess what?
Found the tamale steamer pot in Walmart
My mom saw the pot and said are you making tamales de pollo???
To which I answered with fear in my voice...
I'm upgrading my SJG to a Smoker!
And my mom said to me:
No se que te pasa, estas loco echando a perder una buena olla para tamales!!!!
Will look up on how to threads and videos
Any recommendations welcomed
Have a blessed weekend

I used a VERY strong stainless steel pot and was hard to drill in to. I put holes in the bottom for air flow. And added the necessary holes for the grates. If I had to do over I would have used aluminum. i added a water bowl as well.

The nice thing about going this route is you can make the grill grates to what ever height you want. Put some thought in to were you want them and what height in relation to the heat from the bottom. It is way cheaper to get the smokey Joe then build from there vs. a wsm 18. And a fun, easy build too.

Or even better, you can do what we do and use the smoked pork or chicken...
in your tamales.

Just a quick FYI. I've seen tamale pots that will fit on 18.5 and 22" cookers. They run around $60 for the 22".
I paid $200 for a Smoke EZ.

@Yukonjim Dr. Freud would have a heyday with that design. ;)
@MauroBBQ That's a cool little SJ you found. You're gonna' love the DIY MiniWSM. Mine gets way more use than I thought it would have. Throw up some picks of some discadas (spelling?) tacos!!! :)

Ha! Good to hear my spelling is in check. One of my middle school students (I'm a teacher in Colorado) promised to bring me in some discada tacos last year. He says it's his favorite food, but he has yet to make good on his promise. I told him I'd trade his mom for some of my best gringo bbq recipes. :)
