i kinda figured.  I'm new here just wanted an opinion.  Seemed like it maybe a fun day project.   Thanks 1buckie.  Have you tried any DIY Weber projects?

There's people who are WAY into the mods & customizing & are really pros.....one of my favorites is Winz's Bisbee....the all-Copper Performer.....

this was my first charcoal weber. After messing with an ECB that had no temp controls. As you can see, things escalated a bit.

@WKCTodd

The smokey mods r interesting..

Id highly recommend a 14.5" wsm...its an often overlooked and underappreciated member of the wsm line
