The Weber smokey mountain (aka WSM ) was my first smoker. Here are my favorite modifications, tips and tricks I use on my Smokey Mountain. I also mention some mods I DON'T use. The WSM is still one the best BBQ smokers you can get for under $500...at least for now (Weber prices keep going up!)

Buy the WSM*: amzn.to/48dCqpB
