Building my first UDS, and thus has been a great read, thanks to everyone who contributed! I have 2 barrels at my disposal, possibly 3. I was looking doing a few mods.
1. Taking 1/3 or 2/3 of the second barrel and cutting and welding it on top of the base, both standing upright. Thought this might get up further from the heat and provide extra room for a good sized second rack.
2. Thought about putting a baffle above the fire, could double as a water retainer holder.
3. Welding 4 feet on the bottom, 2 with wheels, for easier moving
4. Adding doors on the sides, at least one in the bottom to get to fire basket
Any thoughts on these would be greatly appreciated, I'm definitely not an expert and if you guys think any of these are bad idea, PLEASE let me know! You won't hurt my feelings, rather do it right the first time
