Earlier this year, It was suggested to me that I make a mini red wsm out of my red budweiser smokey joe. With fall approaching, I'm really tempted to get all the parts needed to make a mini WSM. My question is, if I do this, should I coat the pot with several coats of the high heat black engine paint first, before putting on high heat engine red? Or use regular red paint over the high heat black? I saw one on youtube where the guy (a gator fan) painted his pot orange. The other question I have is since mine is a "silver" what do I need to do since it is a silver model that I wouldnt have to do if it were a gold? I know a lot of ppl have recommended the gold, but I only have silvers. So I thought since I want to try my hand at smoking, I'd try a red mini to match my red kettles. Any input or suggestions you guys have would be appreciated.
