I finally got around to 'fixing' my UDS to hold a Weber dome lid properly. I know there are a lot of ways to do this and I believe this method has been done before as well...
I went to Lowes and found a strip of aluminum measuring 8' x 1.5" x 1/8" so I picked it up for $20. I cut it down to the right length to fit around the inside of my drum...
The strip needs to rise 1/2" above the lip of the drum...
I bolted it in place with some SS #10 bolts with washers, lock washer, and nuts...
I then sealed the edge with some Permatex silicon (rated to 500°)...
Then the weber lid fits really nicely...
I know lots of people like to just invert the drum and work from the bottom with the Weber lid, but this 'fix' is going to work pretty well for me I think.
My UDS is going to get a new paint job for this summer... Something a little nicer than the flat black if I can come up with a good idea
