My Joe has legs

So one of my personal gifts to myself for Christmas is a Party Q automatic temp control unit.  The adapter that I purchased with it is the one for my Kamado, after a couple of cooks I decided to get an adapter for my Webers.

This adapter works perfectly with the daisy wheel webers, WSM and Smokey Joe gold kettles.

I wanted to use it on my home made WSM but only have a SJS which would require drilling.

Matt graciously donated a SJG that did not include legs or vents, what a guy.

I found a post on the bullet site where a guy made legs from 1/8 X 1 X 48 aluminum stock.

It took some learning and some heat with a torch but I am really happy with the results, very stable setup.

Here are a few pics

oh and if you do not have an auto temp control unit?  get one.



maybe some food pics later........Ribs today

Ribs came out amazing, about 3.5 hours @ 250 no foil.

The legs and the ribs look great.

How did you keep them so uniform? They look really nice.

I used this as a template

the legs are really close to each other but not a perfect match, Aluminum breaks if it is not bent with a little heat from a torch.  I had to do some trimming and tweaks to get them to be even and for them to stay under the lip on the bowl rim.
