Mini WSM fail

[RoundRockMike]

I finally got it done.  I took 2 rubber pads off of 2 screw clamps and put them onto a pair of vice grips.  I went around the pot slowly and didn't try to get it all done in one pass.  After going around once, I tightened the vice grips a little more, and repeated that a few times.  Probably 5 times all the way around in total.  It looks great, and no kinks.  Could probably return it to Wally World with no problems!      This weekend I'll get the SS hardware for the grate supports.

Winz,

What pot did you use for your SJP 18". I got one SJP on Craigslist for free and there's one for sale for $30.00 right now and I'm thinking of making the 18" WSM mini. Did the lips fit or did you have to tweek some?  Do you have a post on your 18" build?
