I wanted to be able to not only smoke meat but to also grill on my Weber Smoky Mountain 22.5, so this video shows how I made a very small modification by installing an extra L shaped bracket on the four main grate brackets bolted to the middle section of the smoker. Four holes were bored, one on each main bracket and through the mid section of the WSM 5 inches from the top grate. Once the brackets were installed, the new 21 inch grate could be layed down which will become the charcoal grate which will be 5 inches below the grilling grate just like most grills especially like a weber kettle. With this grilling setup, all assesories used on a weber kettle can be used on this WSM KETTLE setup in the kettle cooking mode. So, in essence, this now becomes a hybrid type smoker/grill which can be used to smoke or grill.
