Here is an update on BUDS
I put 3 grills in the 85. First at 1 1/2" from top lip, second 6 1/2" below that, third 5 1/2" below that. Last one is just above top bulge. I probably could have spaced differently and got 4 but didn't feel the need. I have a gauge below bottom grate and plan on one in lid. I put 4 nipples for air (3 caps, one ball valve) I added one more @ 12" up so I could remove cap and knock fire ring to let ash settle. Put handles that came with bbq grill on drum can. I mounted them with one above gauge and it acts like a rub rail to protect the gauge. When time to clean I will remove clamp ring and 2- 1/4" bolts where shelf attaches and lift can off with handles to powerwash. I am going to have 2 hooks and a support at opposite side of drum to set racks on when dealing with meat on lower rack.

Since most UDS builders seem to not want to bend down to adjust their air intake and the fact my waistline is growing I came up with this.
