caliking
is Blowin Smoke!
I started a thread about my build here http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129408.
Now its done, so I thought I would present it to you all. Thanks for all the suggestions and helpful tips offered during the build!
I tried to go for an all-terrain mod, inspired by skidder. I would have opreferred pneumatic tires, but they were too big to use on a midi UDS. I put in 3 racks (2", 7", and 11" from the lip of the drum). Two racks are for cooking and the third rack is for a water pan/diffuser. Got the wheels (8") at Harbor Freight, on 5/8" threaded rod. The charcoal basket is made out of expando and a charcoal grate for an 18.5" weber kettle. The basket is 12" high, but the charcoal grate was bolted in at 4" from the bottom, so effectively the basket is 8" deep. The 16"x 2" ash pan is a cake pan from Amazon. Amazon also had the cooking grate and hinged grate.
I can't wait to get it dirty. Bottle opener above the handle will be put to good use!
