The device you see is my custom lid hanger. It's made from garage door opener track, gas pipe, and an electric fence post. (If the women don't find ya handsome, they should at least find ya handy).
I'm loving that lid hook.

Here is my WSM. I think it might be one of the first ones. Can't document the age cuz I cant find a date code. It makes some really good Q tho.

....and I even like the concept of a WATER pan. It makes for a steamy environment, no matter how much meat you have on the cooker. Also, I find there are two times in a cook where the water really helps keep temps under control: a few hours into a cook after the meat gets hot (and I'm likely busy or in bed)....AND toward the end of a cook when you're checkin' or glazing, messing with foil, etc.

I use a weed burner to light my Blue K. MY WSM loves it.

I learned on a Char Griller offset, but got tired of having to tend it constantly on long cooks. Bought a 22.5 WSM over a year ago, best $400 I ever spent.

Great idea using the little wsm ring, Michael. I wouldn't go any other way on a big wsm for shorter cooks.

By the way, what's the advantage of lighting with a torch? I used one all the time to light my old UDS, but I usually just dump about a chimney's worth on top in my little wsm. I use so much lit from the beginning since I usually load it up and use water in the pan.

A chimney takes 20-30 minutes to get the coals hot. With a tourch, I can get the coals ready to go in about 3 minutes!

My baby has changed over the years. Still the best smoker I own. Rock steady temps. Simple and functional design.
