Getting ready to weld up my charcoal pan and basket today for my UDS.
I went easy the first time, was excited to try it and just over cut my bottom grate out of exp metel, then bent the corners down to make the legs. Worked well but clean up is a b*$ch.
This morning I am welding my 18 inch weber coal grate to the basket and putting a pizza pan under that.
Question is how much room to leave between the coal grate and the pizza pan?
I am thinking about 5 inches, current set up has around 3 inches clearance, and I can cook 5 or 6 times before the ash build up becomes a problem, and thats with Kingsford.
This will make it possible to clean it before each cook, so maybe I would need less?
Pizza pan will sit on the bottom of the drum, and i have 23 inches from the bottom of the coal grate to the first rack as it sits right now. If I go 5 inches off the bottom this would make that clearance 21 inches.
The intakes are 1.5 inches off the bottom of the drum.
Should be ok huh?
