Right, but even so, even with the shortest nipples I could find at HD, I still have a good amount of space between the ring and the barrel, so if I'm not careful, I end up unscrewing the nipple with the cap. The locknuts won't tighten far enough on the nipple - like the nipple expans closer to the center...

The floor plate looks like a good idea! What section would that be in - plumbing?

Thank you for the heads up on Harbor Frieght, this is going to save me a lot. Where do all you So-Cal residents get your wood? California Charcoal? |

I am interested in the lid, I got a second drun and cut the end off. I then used a body hammer and flared out the cut end to fit atop my drum.... I was a bit worried about the webber grill lids because that look like they just sit atop the drum. I am going to have to put exhaust holes and a handle but it seems to fit pretty good . I still need to try it out ... Norco I am definately interested in a lid that has been a sticking point for me... thanks Dan

Hey guys, I just joined and am having a hell of a time finding a barrel for a UDS build.
Sorry for the hijack, but for those in So-cal, where are you finding unlined open barrels? I live in Big Bear and don't have anything around me. If you guys could point me in the right direction on where to find some barrels, I would really appreciate it!!!! I really like this build and will probably copy it. |

worked great Thanks Norco for all the work that you did I followed you plans and it worked just like you said.... i was amazed the temp was a constant 220 for 8 hours. I used maybe 2.5lbs of lump charcoal. My family fought for 2nds. And there were no leftovers. I am greatful for all of your hard work thanks Dan
