How far off the charcoal basket should a diffuser rack be? Any set distance from the top?

If I had an extra trophy it would be yours. I would never have done that. My hats off to you. But seriously you only only have to look at a page or two to figure out how to make a K.I.S.S. drum
honestly my build was already planed before i ever started reading this thread i did it just to do it i deff learned a thing or two and got a few good ideas along the way so it was worth it. dont think i would do it again tho lol
Anyone have a solution for the puddle of liquid that ends up at the bottom after a long smoke? I've done 3 sessions in my UDS so far, I end up with a good bit of fat "juice" on the floor of the UDS, under the charcoal basket. Guessing I need some sort of way to catch the drippings that don't hit the coals.
I have read that some have put an oil absorbent in the bottom then just vacuum out.

Now I have a question;
Will Lump (instead of Kingsford briquets) solve an ash choke problem on a long burn or do I need to change the basket bottom to a grate instead of #9 X 3/4 expanded?
The brisket I did yesterday turned out great but had some problems with the charcoal. Some my fault (started to hot and had trouble keeping the temp down) then about 1/2 way thru the smoke it seemed I had trouble getting the temp up and this morning it appeared to have an ash choke inside the basket.
Thanks
Do you have an ash pan mounted to the bottom of the charcoal basket? If not, do that.
I have been using my UDS for a year with no puddles of grease in the drum.
Always use hardwood lump. Kingsford briquettes are made out of furniture scraps with other mystery wood. ..
