Oh man, what a shiny cooker!

The door looks a bit off, you might want to try and bend it ever so slightly to get a tighter fit.
 
Yah I was wondering about the door. I'll try adjusting a bit. I noticed there are some replacement doors out there that are made of steel. I wondered if they were worth exploring.

Yeah, you can bend it to proper shape. The SS door is a great option as well. I'd roll stock and spend my $ on meat. :becky:
 
Looks great, but ....

There's nothing on the lower rack! You could have a brisket down there. Or a couple more butts. There's space on the top where you could throw a few brats on (not the precooked ones) or some Polish and Italian sausage. I like to smoke up a few of something if I have space on the grate. Even a couple chicken legs would be nice.

Looks like excellent results for your first cook! :thumb:
 
Hey Hank,

Thanks! I was amazed at the space. I remember barely getting 1 10lbs butt on my kettle. I was gazing at the space today thinking about all the different combinations o things I could have smoking on that monster. Its awesome. I'm going to try loading it up real good in a couple weeks :D
 
They look great to me too! Love the looks of the bark. :thumb:
 
Did 80# of butts on my 22.5 this past week. Needed a bit larger fire due to the heat sink effect of all that cold meat but the WSM delivered as usual. An amazing piece of equipment. :sly:

Keep the original door and save the money. With a little time and effort they can be bent to fit fine and will seal very well after a few cooks.
