In this video, I changed the setup of my WSM 22.5, and raised the charcoal up to the middle grate level to setup a hot zone and cold zone to do some offset grilling just as if I was using a Weber Kettle. I've been wanting to get more use out of my WSM, so this is something I've wanted to try. I started out using the water pan as a charcoal pan, but since there are no holes in the pan, it would only allow temps up to 230, and that only with lump charcoal. So in the middle of the cook, I took everything back out, and pulled up the regular charcoal grates and ring to the mid level grate on top of the same 4 bricks I had the pan on. With holes in the grates, the charcoal got plenty of air and the temps went up over 300 where I needed them to be for the lollipop chicken I had on. It ended up being a success. I had some sheet metal that I formed to make a divider to setup the hot zone for the charcoal and the opposite side to cook on as in the kettle. I have plans to install a new set of clips or L brackets at the midpoint of the 3 brackets that hold up the existing grates. There is a channel which has a video showing how to do this at lildapp76.
