  • Always looking for new ways to improve my food.
Tom:  Just wondered where you got the wooden handle?  I did not see any when I looked on-line at Lowes and Home Depot.  All your modifications are top notch.

OUCH ! ! !

I did the same thing on my WSM.  But then it was because the disc was not fitting flat on the dome.  I took it off to massage it a little.  Same result as yours, though.
