I used a closed-head drum, that I cut top off on the outside just below the bead. I used a thin cut off wheel in a 4 1/2" grinder. i was careful to only cut through 1 layer of metal to be able to use the flat top lid. After I made the cut the weber grill and cart showed up on CL, so I used the lid off of the 22.5" weber grill. The lid needed a gasket, so I bought 1/8" I.D. x 1/4" O.D. Silicone Tubing - High Temp Hose (500F) off of ebay and cut one side to slide onto the drum.

Ladies and gentlemen I joined the bbq-brethren.com to find out about UDS's, little did I know that there are close to 800 pages on the subject. I am looking forward to reading up on them and then doing a build. The UDS build will be done by me and my daughter.

Thanks for the reply DjProckchop. I have the UDS (in its former life it was used to ship concentrated orange juice) in my garage and I have started to collect all the bits and pieces. I have to wait for my daughter to finish her college exams and then we are going to go at it.

New here folks, so please bear with me! I have been cooking and smoking for many years on my big custom cookers, but somehow have only recently discovered the UDS. It's obvious I don't get out much. I've begun my build and am down to the coal basket. My question for you all: would you recommend using the smaller Weber grate to build the base for the basket or would you take the time to build the base from expanded metal? Thanks in advance for your help!

Got on it and got it done. It's my first one, so I'm not very worried about fancy paint...yet. Giving it a test fire to tonight! Excited! Mostly because I have two slabs of babies and a few pounds of thighs to put in that puppy tomorrow!
