    So much you can do with the shrimp. Pate, and just simple Cajun shrimp on a skewer are my favorites.

    Pretty much how my first gen ATC for the WSM works

    [​IMG]

    Built a box to protect it from the elements and ran a sump pump hose to the intake port on the smoker from the blower. Jealous of the built in charting on yours though, I have to pull the raw data into excel to chart it with mine

    [​IMG]

    All done with WiFi of course, set it and forget it.

    How I picture it being done without WiFi :p

    We're chipping in and buying you a tiny pellet cooker to mount on a motorcycle trailer. We want that to replace that shabby stick burner of yours ;).

    I dumped the water pan a long time ago and use a heat shield Harry Soo style. Gives more space for coals under it and uses less aluminum foil to wrap it.

    [​IMG]

    I got the CB stacker to add additional height so that I could cook directly over coals like a drum smoker\Pit Barrel smoker.

    [​IMG]

    Including the rotisserie

    [​IMG]

    It does give a totally different flavor profile, one I like. But one thing to be aware of with juices dripping on the coals is that they get "contaminated" so I do not reuse the coals that are left over. I start with totally new ones for the next cook. If you snuff your fire out at the end of a cook and reuse them now it is something to be aware of.

    Ordered a Gateway Drums diffuser plate to use for my 18" from Cabela's back when the Bass Pro merger was going on and the bastages sent me a 22" one

    [​IMG]

    Kept it anyhow because never know, I could end up with a 22" WSM some day :anonymous:

    Cost a LOT more than the firedial one. Also did the UDS trick and found a pizza pan that fit for less than $10 but never got around to drilling holes in it to make a diffuser plate out of it.

    Personally I feel the firedial you linked to would be worth it. A lady that I dated for awhile didn't care for the flavor profile of juices dripping on the meat and smoking. Notice I said dated for awhile, she complained about a lot of things. She contacted me ~a year after we broke up to tell me she missed my cooking and meat smoking LOL.

    I got a chuckle out of that one! I think for ~$30 I'll try the firedial. I never reuse my coals so we're all good there.

    My big problem now is that I'm on my last bag of Kingsford. I need another sale to pop up but I don't think that will happen until spring time.
