Mini 14" WSM Find

K-Barbecue · May 7, 2011

Found this at a rummage sale. It is a mini 14" Weber Smokey Mountain. Picture shows it next to my 22.5 WSM. I paid $30 for it and it is in like new condition. Looks like was used one time and probably for grilling some hamburgers as the second rack and water pan are clean as new. I think these were made for awhile way back in the eary 1980's. I installed my Guru on it and going to try a 5 pound chicken. It's not much taller than my chimney starter !

That's a cute little guy! I never knew they made those in the past.

I did some research and found it was was only made 1981 to 1983 then discontinued. The 18.5 was the only one made until 2008 when the 22.5 came out.

And my first cook with the mini WSM turned out great. A small amount of RO lump with 2 small chunks of cherry wood. Seems that I'll be using this more often with small item cooks. Saves alot of charcoal.

You can make one for bout 50$. maybe less if you have a smokey joe gold lying around. I made one out of a smokey joe gold and a MUSA steamer pot from walmart.

here is a thread for my build and a few pics. Mine is electric and also a charcoal burner
