Introducing the WSM Stacker by Probbq

[Don Marco]

Howdy folks...

I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of the first WSM Stackers by www.probbq.co.uk . (Thank you, Ian )

Its ans extra Ring with grate and access door for the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker (WSM).

It seems to be of the same quality as the WSM and fits exactly with no air leaks.

Heres some pics :





The ring is 30cm/12 " tall when its mounted on a WSM.

Finally, a door that wont fall out.





I like the grate Quality even more than the Weber ones (so far, without having cooked on it)



The Stacker comes with two Handles. They might get hot while in use, so better use gloves. Anyway, hot handles are way better than no handle at all like on the WSM.



Thermometer/Probe Eyelet slightly above the grate.



Now were talking, eh ?



Take me to your leader





So far, i like this Stacker very much. Seems like the whole WSM world has been waiting for it.
I´ll see how it performs later on, as i´ll be cooking a butt and some ribs overnight and tomorrow.

I don't see the need for the door on the Stacker, since we don't feed the charcoal from above the top grate. Nevertheless, I want one, no make that two.

Great job Ian. Don, thanks for sharing.

I noticed that you can turn the stacker upside down and then it fits exactly and absolutely tight on the 18" Weber Kettles

The final product will hopefully have grate supports on both sides, so you can use it as an ectension for weber kettles, too.Also comes in handy when youre cooking beer can chicken or other tall food, and you can also insert two grates to cook lots of flat food on the WSM or 28" kettle.

Imho, this unit is also the perfect base for a rotisserie modification.

Heres the pics of my red one touch silver and, even cooler, my smokey joe platinum.

Don I have to ask were is the bottom of your wsm? If you are no longer using it. I would like to see if you would like to part with it I'm in the need to buy a new one so.

I wouldnt mind giving it to you, but i think the shipping costs
would kill the deal

The more I hear about Ian's Pro-Q products, the more impressed I am. I'd love to see something similar for a 22.5" kettle.

Ian, I think you *definitely* have a winner.

DM, that is some delicious looking food there.

The pork is done and im through with the first test.
It was a success, temperature control was no problem and
the WSM didnt need an awful lot more charcoal than usual.
6 pounds gave me more than 10 hours of steady 220-240 F and its still cooking along at ~210 F



The pork was moist, tender and flavourful as usual.



In fact, it was so flavourful that a mosquito went for it and became
barbecued, too



(no, i didnt take its temperature and it had no visible smoke ring.)

I want this now.. thanks Don Marco!! look what you done did!!.. I would love to get this for my Smokey Joe platinum, Done Marco, can you do a test on using that as a test bed, I would like to know how well it works, as well as how hard it is to resupply the charcoal, the thing I see that might be problematic using that configuration is that it sees the grate is at the top, so there is not much room to put food.. or i might be wrong is the grate lower with enough room to fit a butt? or rib rack w/ribs?

Don I would love have it but your right it would kill the deal with the shiping. How well dose the 18 kettle work. and would the smokey joe platinum work for the bottom have of a wsm?
