This may seem like to obvious a solution, but what about using a very small fire instead of a diffusing element? Direct cooking can be done low and slow. It's just a different beast then what you do in the WSM

Good question, Rob! Can it be done? Yes. Is it ideal for this style cooker? No.
The purpose of a convection oven or smoker is to create even heat around the food. By adding a pan of sand, a ceramic plate/pizza stone or even a water pan, you create a barrier between the meat and the heat and ensure that the cooking is consistent all the way around instead of overcooking the bottom. And as you know, "if you're looking (aka adding fuel to a small fire, turning meat to cook it evenly, etc), you ain't cookin'"!
