I would be interested in buying a few of these off you if you aren't using them all, what do you reckon?

Hi Dave,

My work paid for the shipping as they happened to be sending other things to our UK office so it didn't cost me anything, the total cost of the pot was under £20.

I looked in the shop at the weekend and couldn't see the pot, shame they are out of stock. Can they not order it in? Have you ...

Looks great Bec, where did you get the temp gauge from?

I need to cut the same size hole out of the lid and then attach this to the bottom which will give a tighter fit into the smokey joe and then spray VHT paint to match. I think I will use an enamel paella ...

I am hoping to keep the costs relatively low, I got the Smokey Joe for free so that has helped. Once I have everything I need I will list out the parts and costs.

Last night I cut the bottom of the pot out using a Dremel, seemed to work quite well and thought that this would be better than drilling holes in the bottom. I will post a picture of it at the weekend.

I have ordered A2 Steel M8 Nuts, Washers and Button head bolts from http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Bolt ...

After loads of searching I have finally bought a pot to start my Smokey Joe Mini WSM build. In the end I had to get the Vasconia 32qt Tamale pot shipped from the US as I wanted to be sure to get something that was a good fit and it seemed that most people TVWBB used this model. I did look at a few ...
