So today I got my new WSM 18.5 home and my son and I started putting it together. I bought all the parts to drill holes for the MODS I have been reading about. When I pulled the middle barrel out I noticed this round hole to the right of the cheap (and I mean cheap piece of crap door) door they provided. So there is this rubber wheel shaped gasket that is TOUGH to fit in but once you do it is for your probes..... WoW am I excited that I might not need to drill or cut mine. What I did do was add 2 washers to ever single bolt inside on the top and bottom to push those bars out and glad I did.... Really makes a difference..... As luck would have it, it is raining tonight however I fired it up anyways....I was able to follow some of the posts here by using a 20 oz. can loading it with hot coals, pulling it and dialing in the vents. I got it to sit at 226 + - a few degrees for a solid hour with almost no effort. I figure once I get use to it where the vents should be and all this is gonna be NICE!!!!
Any suggestions on sealing the door? I can see it is cheap and needs to be re-enforced....
Thank you,
Tony
