Question#1 involves paint, I know I can use 1200* paint with no problem, would 500* hold up to the heat of a UDS ? The variety of colors goes up a bunches at the local auto store if it will handle the lower temp paint.
Question#2 pertains to the fuel basket height. Started with a grate from a Weber 22.5, it will stand about 2" off the bottom of the drum with the bolts I used to elevate it with. Will this be high enough for sufficient air flow ?
Question#3...purchased two sheets of expanded metal from my local House Despot store, they measured 12 X 24 inches. This makes my basket around 11 X 11 square give or take a quarter inch or so and 12 inches deep, will this size work okay ?
Been a member for a few months and figured I had to build one these after reading all the post concerning them. I'm blessed to have a drum refurbishing plant nearby, I don't have to do the burn out step, as mine is completly raw of paint at time of purchase. Cost are 26.00 for a raw refurbish / 48.00 for a new / 225.00 for a stainless all in the 55 gallon size.
Currently using a couple of WSM's and a big old gasser.
Thanks
