Okay, now I feel dumb. Being trying to post all day and it was always giving me an error. Now when I write something stupid, it actually posts it. What a moron.
Sorry

From your nickname I'm guessing you hang with "T" ?
Thanks N8. I am going to consolidate all. First I am going to have basic build and links inserted on build options. Hopefully for a sticky. Several people have sent me info. Just got real busy at work. One thing to work 12's and sit and monitor, another when you have to do physical labor. This is why post slowed. Gonna pick up expanded metal at steel yard today. Had 4X8 sheet sheared into 6 8"X96" pieces. Will cut into 12 42.5" pieces for rings to go around 18" weber kettle charcoal grate which measures 13.5"dia. Have you noted this thread has over 100,000 views? Cool!
That is what I meant. Like you said a 18.5" weber which is actual 13.5" charcoal grate is what I meant. I was calling it an 18". A 22.5" weber has a 17" charcoal grate. Thanks for posting to make it clear. I can see it but not always translate.I prefer the coal grate for an 18.5" as oppossed to a 22.5" Weber coal grate for UDS baskets. Tried them both and seems like the 13.5" dia. gets to temp faster.
Actually no, I made my name up before I scanned through the forum. But now that I've scanned and seen a few more things, I'm wondering, if out of respect for a great BBQ'r, I shouldn't change it to something different.

thinking out loud here - what if it was a slot, and sized big enough to avoid removing the cap??? sort of a small valve
Too big in my opinion.how big is to big ?? I am ready to start building mine , but the hole saw bit I have is 2.25 , I plan on only 1 hole , will that be enough ?? and how for from the bottom should I drill it ??
I'll tell you it is a sight to behold to see the convection effect with the drum lid and my 8 vent holes swirling in the early morning of an all nighter with just my dining room light reflecting on the deck!
I'm liking the slot idea...you don't need a lot of threads to hold that cap. I'd mill it out leaving just enough to thread on the cap. :idea:
