I found a Weber Smokey Joe on Facebook for only $3. I didn't really need it but I couldn't not buy it. Sooooo..... when I got it home I was like, what am I going to do with this thing? After some googling I came across a few articles for building a mini WSM. I decided that I wanted to do my own build, so here we go.
This is a complete build, I could have split it up into 3 ~ 4 parts but decided against it. Instead I have the time codes below so you can jump right to a specific part of the build.
What you'll Need: 0:51
Measuring: 2:22
Cutting Holes: 7:26
Making The Vent Handles: 11:24
Cutting The Stencil: 14:38
Painting: 16:55
Peeling Off Tape: 17:39
Weird Things I noticed: 18:14
Putting It All Together: 20:06
Lighting It: 23:16
A Few Minutes Of Rambling: 24:11
Wings And More Rambling: 26:35
Final Notes: 30:26
All in for me the cost was $73.34 To go out and purchase everything at full cost at the time of this writing it would cost $100.33.

I know this was 5 years ago but don’t beat yourself up for the paint job or the build. That’s an awesome WSM build. 👏👏👏 Thanks for sharing. Roy Auburn, WA

There are three legs on the smokey joe. I think I will just line up the bolt holes for the tamale pot with the legs on the smokey joe and make my holes around. Awesome build man!

Well Done!! I've never had any interest in making a WSM, until now. My wife and I watched this and now I have to make one (she's egging me on to do it). Keeping an eye out on FB marketplace for a deal.

$3.00????? You got that for a steal my friend! And turning it into a smoker.....A+++ for ingenuity man!!! P.S. Hypoglycemic here...I find eating within 30 minutes after waking and consuming 1/2 cup of any type of beans (a slow carb) with breakfast, will nip that in the bud. 😁

If you want a probe hole for occasional use, check out the Weber parts page. They sell a silicone grommet for the WSM probe port on the newer models. I've found it for about $11 bucks on Amazon. Just use a stepper bit or hole saw to drill the appropriate hole in your new Mini WSM.

Love this one. Will a regular pie dish do, they are mine so I can use then :) or a pizza dish

@MarkInThePit 4 жыл бұрын

A pie dish should be fine, a small pizza pan would be even better.

@indylive4926 4 жыл бұрын

great video! but does everyone know you can buy coal baskets that make the kettle an indirect smoker without all the fuss? And a top grate that hinges over the coal baskets???

@MarkInThePit 4 жыл бұрын

On something this small one of those charcoal baskets won't make much of a difference. They do work pretty good on a full sized kettle though by keeping the heat off to one side.

Make one last year ( it my profile pic) used it on brisket point and did some chicken camping, and then it was crushed by my sons bike coming home from camping. It worked great the two times i used it though!

@MarkInThePit 4 жыл бұрын

That was a micro USB cooling fan. Found it on amazon for like $3. Great idea for the pizza stone, that would probably work out very well. Just need to make sure there is still enough air flow to get around it.

Didn't catch that in the video. Yes, I have issues with hypoglycemia which started around the same time I started having thyroid issues, so when I start feeling woobly I'll check. I feel it more often in the morning hours.

You are correct sir! BUT what I meant was that the heat would be spread around and not just go strait up the middle.

Aluminum not healthy

@MarkInThePit 4 жыл бұрын

I agree, also there is aluminum in almost everything now a-days. One thing to note though, after the first few burn cycles it does get coated with smoke, ash, fat, grease, which is then cured to some extent and is no longer exposed. Also the grates themselves are stainless steel so nothing aluminum directly touches the food.
