rgrunz · Posted: Jul 14 2008 Post subject: WSM Improvements

Hey WSM lovers (ralph is one)... I would like to solicit your ideas and opinions of what Weber can do to improve this puppy...

I am not bashing weber here; I just know how great it is now; and how awesome it could be....

realistically, I doubt they can do much more than 20-22" dia on the outside without a major shift in costs... you thinking a couple of inches in dia? or?

A door to get to the bottom rack without removing the top rack.

A thermometer.

Tighter charcoal grate so chunks don't fall through.

I have done mods for 2 of three and I think the stacker would give you the door.

Large hinged door that fits right, for the middle section.

22" OD

Better charcoal grate.

Handles on the middle section

Quality Thermo

Making it a 22 inch would be great. And fixing that front door to a hinged model is a good idea too. I prefer that they continue to come WITHOUT a therm. Why pay for it? I use a maverick, and would not have wanted to pay an additional 20 or 30 dollars for a therm i would not need. Plus, with a guru eyelet, you can choose your own therm.
But for 200 bucks, you cannot beat them as a cooker they way they are. I hear the ProBBQ is OK, but have read some bad reviews too. But i know when i order a WSM, it will be here in a week. ProBBQ has a LOOOONG way to go before they get their shipping down.
