Water Pan In The UDS?

txschutte said:
I was wondering if any one has tried this yet. If I used a stainless mixing bowl like this one,http://www.chefscatalog.com/product/94662-stainless-mixing-bowls.aspx, could I set cooking grates lower than the standard 24" from the fire basket? Just trying to get more capacity from a drum. Any thoughts?

There was a thread on this some where. ill try to find it. i think he tried and it really didnt work as well as he thought it would. I wish i could squeeze another rack into mine. guess the next one will have to be taller than 34" or what ever they are.

go for the double stacked one and then you'll have all the rack space you'll need...
 
Thanks guys. Maybe i'm overthinking a simple concept.
 
I have set a smaller grate on top of the firebox then placed the water pan on that. I have used it several times works just fine. However I have not tried adding another grate. Maybe you could try it with the original grate in place but lower a temp prob down to the level where the second grate would go.

How's this goin?

txschutte, I have 2 grates in mine. They work well for chicken parts and ribs. Ok for smaller butts and flats. Only the largest pieces are they to close together. I use the drum lid, not a weber lid. with a weber lid, 2 grates would be no problem.
 
Shane try this, since you guys know how to take the lid off... you could get at least 3 grates in this....I just cut below the "bow" pound, sand, pound, sand, pound sand.... remember I'm mechanically disabled!
