Added some Mods to the 1983 WSM

[Pappy]

Wheels

Clay Saucer

New door & Lid handle

Can of Easy-Off to give it the new car shine!

The legs had a lot of rust (steel legs). I power wire brushed them and sprayed with with clear 500 degree engine paint. New nuts & bolts.

Still want to add some side handles and a grommet for the ET732 & IQ110

New lid Weber thermometer should be in next week.

All the other old WSM's are jealous. Nice work.

Saw the idea on the virtual weber website. Thought it would make a better base, so it doesn't tip over. It think they gave it a robot look. R2BBQ!

It looks really nice.

But the wood handle, steel legs and steel door are what make the very old WSMs unique and collectible.

I understand that steel legs and steel door are a plus. I don't really care for wood handles.

Where did you pick up the wheels?

A lot of hardware stores have them. Some were selling them as high as $11 each (wow!). I got these off the shelf at wal-mart for $6 each. Home Depot sells them also.

Very nice Pappy! Is that a 18" or 22" WSM? If it's a 22, what size of clay saucer did you get for it?

Its a 18.5 = 14" saucer

I think the biggest size is a 16". I have one of those in my UDS.
