Bisbee's smoking friend
« on: August 05, 2014, 06:39:20 PM »
Due to the generosity of another WKC member, my plan for a copper mini WSM to complement Bisbee recently happened with the arrival of a copper SJG.  This mini WSM is much like all other mini WSMs - the only difference is the copper kettle in the Weber logo (as opposed to red).  Of course, the SJG has a Zav handle in dark walnut.



Bisbee got a new ashcan set up as well.  I am trying to decide which I like better - the black ring/copper ashcan setup with spoked wheels (the "steampunk" setup per Gummi):



Or the copper ring/black ashcan setup with solid wheels (the "old school" look):



Thanks for looking,

Winz

How about "Steampunk" with solid wheels? ;)

Winz, your copper is hands down the nicest performer I've seen. So cool and unique and fit and finish is top notch. Thanks for sharing, I want to rip off your idea badly  ;) ;D

Stunning!

I like the look of the classic spoke wheels! I don't think I have seen them on any other kettle/performer. Did you get the side sheet metal plated with copper? I like black ash bracket with the copper ash can.

Great looking Winz! Keep the Spokies. Infact share the link, like that modification. Looks like the ash can is a modified purchase of a can that fits perfect?

Below is an amazon link for the 8" wheels.  I found them at a local ACE.  Best part is the hub is 3/8 - the same diameter as a stock performer axle.  No messing with adaptors.

Good eye!  Yes, the ash can is indeed a copper pan with a 9 3/4 diameter.  I simply drilled holes for the stock Weber ashcan handle.  Fits perfectly.

I like the spoke-wheels as well.   

Wow, that Linens-n-Things Gold SJ really 'pops' with the black smoker-pot on there!
