Where did you end up getting your expanded metal from?

Nearly seven hours in it's stll at 240*. Gave the basket a shake..Goin' to check again and then goin' to bed...Check it again later, or first thing in the morning.
Would it burn better If I put the eight half-inch holes in the top instead of the stack in the 2" bung hole?
Thanks again,

nice. i use a straight nipple. i like the elbow idea! some people say not to use them cause they might be galvinized. but i have not had any problems with mine. not sure if the blak pipe that big is or is not though. looks nice happy bbqing. here is my drum:[/IMG][/IMG]
your exhaust can be black pipe, abs,galvanized exhaust pipe or non existent. Unless you hang your meet over the exhaust it won't make any difference!! The reason the experienced builders use the 2" pipe is that it is the easiest to control. I think the holy lid messes with the convection of a drum and is a pain to damper off.

(always wanted to say that) Evenly spaced holes are the best convection.
I managed to find a local metal fab shop wthin about two miles down the road..I was able two purchase smaller pieces of the expanded metals real cheap, as they were left over cuts from previous jobs.
The ash pan is just a lid from a 30 gal drum that they gave me from the reconditioned barrel purchase...Then I bought the other piece of flat stock from the metal fab dudes and worked it into a diameter that fit into the drum lid... All the metals cost only about 15$..And I have some left over for future builds....
What really hurt $$wise was the stainless bolts and hardware, tools that I didn't have layin' around, and gas money drivin' around to pick things up.....:icon_pissed
Still can't find that used webber kettle...Darn!
Rainin' too hard for any yard sales....
