I was thinking of making a way to hang things for smoking in my WSM and someone mentioned that Weber all ready had a kit for it. Ordered it an got it yesterday. Time to get that octopus ready. Maybe this weekend...

Looking good Thoey! thats the one i mentioned, did it come with hooks too? I need to sell my 18.5" WSM and get a 22.5" so i can buy one of those.

It came with a set of "fish hooks". I also bought a replacement / additional set. I wonder what other things can be caught on those hooks?

I will say that Weber's packaging of those hooks SUCKS! Four hooks stacked neatly together and then crappy tape wrapped around each end point. As you can see in the picture, a lot of the tape did not come off, so I am probably going to have to burn them clean before use.

Grimm, they mention making a version for the 18.5" model too. The "manual" is for both models. It shows the 18.5 has two cross bars and the 22.5 has three...

The rack is fantastic. I recommend doing a chicken first before the octopus. Temp control is what you'll need to focus on.

I'll post pics when I use it, probably next week. Just from playing with it, I do like the way they designed it. It feels pretty stable. We'll see when I put it over the fire and put some weight on it...

oh cool. I'll have to look for it, thought us 18.5"ers got the shaft.

These work great. 10-12 lit coals and the WSM is at 160-165.

I'll post when I use them. Either be a trial run with chicken or the wife's octopus.
