A few finishing touches. I just couldn't leave it unfinished...
I still need to add a port for a meat probe and then it will be completely finished! I robbed the pit thermometer off my UDS and ordered another one to replace it.

Hoping Weber comes out with a remake of the original Model 1880 (14 inch) WSM!

I am finding that a fire basket might be overkill on this project. I just use the normal base of the smokey joe...

Awesome and it looks great! I'm hoping to get started on mine this weekend. Glad you don't actually have to have a charcoal basket. I don't plan on doing cooks longer than 4 -5 hrs on mine. Thanks for all the pics it helps alot. I do plan to cut the whole bottom out just so the bottom doesn't get messy.
With the distance between fire and grate being short I believe you want some sort of diffuser on these. So drilling it seemed logical and made it so I didn't have to cut anything. Then he posted using the insert as a template and wow did that make sense.
Another good option is using a cheap grate where the insert would fit and put a clay saucer on it. You can foil it for easy clean up and it's a great heat sync.
