Hi all,
Lurker and first time poster here.
I have a 16 gal / 60L drum that I not only want to use it as an UDS but also for conventional charcoal grilling by lifting the charcoal basket up when doing so.
Also I'd put a thin metal annulus around the basket such that the air has to travel through it making the coal burning even hotter.
So my goal is to have very high temps when conventionally grilling and still being able to use the miniUDS for slow jobs as well.
Hell, maybe even use it for a pizza here and there, so 500°C /930°F would be awesome to be reachable., making it kinda a universal miniUDS.
Now the question is: should I go with big air intakes?
A reasonable possibility would be 4 x 2 inch pipes, one with a ball valve and the other three with caps.
Would that be overkill for grilling and should I go with 3/4 or 1 inch instead?
