I need to find out how to make those
Anyone in the UK know of a cheap source of stainless steel expanded metal?
I am getting silly, silly prices from all builders merchants I have called :mad2:
Have you not considered using a washing machine drum? It's all pretty much done for you then. Mine cost £5 (should be able to pick one up for less than a tenner). Drilled a few holes in the bottom for the ash to fall, but other than that it's good to go.
Will have a look near my local scrapyard. Nothing loose by trying it.
Thanks :thumb:

Those with flat-lids that have threaded bungs...
I am having trouble finding threaded pipe to go in the larger of the two bungs. I didn't measure it, yet, but I think it is 2 1/4". I took the threaded stopper up to Lowe's and couldn't find anything close to that size. Ideally, I'd get a 2 1/4" pipe nipple, add a 90-degree elbow to it, then get a plug.
Where do I go for this?
*Not interested in drilling additional holes in the lid and I'm not interested in a domed lid, either.
Most are 2".....did you check it to see if 2" fits?
