This video provides some instructions on how to installl a side port for temperature gauge wires and a side shelf for move surface space. Hope you like it!
Great video I like the mod's that you did. My question have you had any problems with temperature control? I use the cast iron skillet, but when I turn the regulator on the lowest setting the temp will still reach 340 degrees in about 1 hour and 20 minutes, any suggestions on how to maintain a lower temp control? Thank You
thanks for the comment, sorry for the delay in the response. I haven't had any issues with maintaining a lower temp on my master built. the only suggestion I would have is to adjust the propane tank cylinder valve handwheel to lessen the amount of gas coming out.
I have the same smoker and love it. I think I'm going to be making the same modifications to mine to prevent future flare ups and to add more work space on top. I got 8 bags of pellets for Christmas, would they be ok to use in the skillet instead of the wood chips ? Great video !!!
How did you get your temperature prods through the conduit hole? I'm planning on cutting one end to pass the cables through. Another Q, would the plastic of the service fitting melt from excessive heat?
Thank you for the questions, the temp prods easily pass through the conduit hole (and rubber insert) fairly easily. I think it is a high temp rubber so I haven't had a issues and I've run the smoker pretty high a few times.
It doesn't take very long for it to heat up --just have it in there when you start up the smoker and it should be ready when the smoker get to temp. Also, a major positive with the cast iron skillet is that I haven't had any flare ups of the wood like I did with the tray that was included with the smoker. I would highly recommend switching to it.

A dirty smoker is a good used smoker!! 👍👍
No door seals?
I just won this smoker and noticed no seals so I'm thinking of lavalock ©️ self sealing

7/8" hole saw for the connector.
Where did you find the table attachment

I assume it would be. But give it a shot and let me know what it goes.
Why not just use the holes in the back of the smoker. I run both wires through the back air holes.
Lori D yes, you can definitely do that. I just wanted to run through they side and have a cleaner look.

I'm very interested in the cast pan idea! How long does it take to heat up the pan to start the wood smoking?

@@MatthewH2000 okay! I have the same problem. I will go buy one today
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I have the same smoker and will be making the same mods. Can I ask what size cast iron skillet that is? 12 inch?
Thanks! I believe I'm using an 8" skillet (Lodge).
I used a 10" Skillet that I purchased at Walmart for 10$ and it works well.

Can you use charcoal and wood instead of propane
Rickey Lee yes, you can use wood and/or charcoal.
Can you only use Wood chips or can you also use wood chunks??? TIA
I also use wood chunks--they're definitely fine to use as well.
What is the Weber Grill Grate LxWxH dimension please. Does it have spaces in it or is it solid? Ty
The grate measures 10" x 10" and it does have spaces in it. Any cooking grate would be fine just has to be made to roughly those dimensions.
I used rebar, cut in half (2-10in pieces, lay across the cook box, done). Cost about $1
