Yes, the bottom of the pot fits like it was made for it.
The tpo has a small gap, the outer lip of the lid sticks out
from the pot maybe 1/8th to 5/32thsall the way around. When I do the break-in I'll see if I need a thin roll of aluminun foil to close the gap or not.
I'll post resultswhen I have them.

The mini-WSM is pretty damned awesome... it will be even more awesome the next time I cook on it since my Maverick ET-732 is en route according to Amazon.com!
I have a 10lb brisket that is about 1" too long. did you fold your flat under or over to make it fit? I was thinking I could fold my flat under until I get enough shrinkage to make it fit. any suggestions

YOU CAN NOT COOK GREAT BBQ ON A CONSISTENT BASIS BY COOKING TO AN INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OR BY TIME ( XXX MIN PER LB) YOU MUST COOK BY FEEL! For Brisket and Pork Butts it must pass the poke test(probe like soft butter in the thickest part of the Flat) Ribs pass the Bend Test, These are the only reliable methods to ensure that your cook will be a success. There is one exception to these rules and that is Poultry which must achieve an internal temp of 170 deg in the thickest part of the thigh and 165 in the breast.

Heres Mine



You can check out the complete build thread by clicking the link in my sig.

The main thing I did differently was creating a lip out of the lid to add to the stability.

We cooked MOINK Balls on one of the kid's Mini WSMs today. Very happy with the way it worked.
I think I need to put bigger holes in the can that covers the bottom vent holes though. Even with everything wide open it didn't want to go above 225 or so.

Default Recommended Rack Heights?
If you want to use two racks on the mini, what are the recommended heights?
