eddie Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have trouble keeping the WSM dry. Frequently, it has half a gallon of water in the ash bowl and mildew on the sides of the main barrel. Anyone have any tips on how they have modified the oem cover? How do you keep it dry (if you couldn't store it in a shed)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Take the top seam and fold it under one time, helps a lot. Mine will do the same. I gaff taped the seam too. “My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose.” Ayn Rand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuu Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Mine stays pretty dry with the "factory" cover. Never had any buildup inside the WSM, but have seen moisture on the outside. You put a pig on a spit, and you can guarantee my attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyb Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Strange - my cover seems to work fine. You sure it's pulled down all the way past where the bottom bowl & midsection meet? On a related topic, I always thought the top rim of the midsection & bottom rim of the top dome are pooly designed. The top dome sits into the flange on the midsection which allows water to enter the cooker (assuming you forget to put the cover on ). If the flange were reversed (on the top dome instead of the midsection), water would just naturally run off. Seems like a pretty basic concept.

Little Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 There is a reason for that-read it once at weber bullet, and it makes sense.

JimW Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Probably not unlike a metal chimney flue. All that disgusting condensation/creosote inside the bullet would drip on the outside of the lower section.
