is one Smokin' Farker
Strange I know But i have fallen into a top from a friends WSM (some warranty issue). Has anyone ever used the top for a UDS??? If so have any pictures?
Thanks,

Yep, I have one on mine. It didn't fit around the "rolled" top of my drum and since I also use this lid for my OTS at times, I didn't want to modify it. So instead, I just welded on some short tabs inside the drum at the top to prevent the lid from falling off. Basically, my lid sits directly on top of the rolled bead at the top of the drum.
You can see the tabs in this photo....the ones that run vertically.....hard to see. I wish I had better pic.
As you can see, the Weber lid sits on the top of the rolled edge.

Is that a WSM or OTS top? Looks like a kettle top.
Here's a post put up by brother 4dueces. Is THIS a top or bottom?

You'll have to ask him how he attached it.
Forgive me....I don't own a WSM so I'm not sure if that's a bottom or top.
I really AM trying to help here......:laugh:
My 22.5" Weber kettle lids fit my drums perfect, no mods or anything. I am told that if you get drums with a bolt on locking ring instead of a clamp on locking ring it will fit. These drums contained food grade grease and had the bolted locking ring.
The lid of a Kettle and a WSM are formed differently.
A kettle lid fits over the bowl, and a WSM fits into the center section and will not fit its own base. A kettle lid will fit the base of a WSM.
So to answer the original question - IMO, No - the WSM lid will not fit or be a suitable lid for a Drum Smoker.
Better
Does anyone have an answer to the OP? That would be better. A 22.5 inch weber Smokey mountain Top on a UDS.? Don't want to get rid of a WSM top, want to put it to use.
I hear yeah swamp and I appreciate your responses. Trade really? Thought up you were joking. I don't think the shipping costs would be worth it.
