Anyone got any strong feelings for UDS intake designs?
Although I'm curious about my buddy's design, (and I think I saw one other pic here like it), of the four pipes running from the sides and ending up UNDER the charcoal basket, I'm probably gonna go w/ the conventional side vent(s) so I can bolt a pan to my charcoal basket for easy peasy ash removal. My first UDS would get really nasty on the sides from ash sticking to the sides. All in all, I think here are some issues I'm considering:
Any way to overcome the dreaded "Kingsford midcook peter-out" from ash accumulation? (I think I bookmarked a "shaker bar", and some folks use a rod or something to stick in to stir the coals?)
Easy lift out basket w/ bolted pan to remove ash
(Any case that is strong enough to sacrifice the above convenience, probably involving the scenario I described at the top of post)
Norco's/BDS type intake hole distribution vs. single intake
What say you?
