Looks great. Love the blue performer lid. A blue stainless performer...that's what I'd like to turn mine into.
Nice work on the SS UDS!

I just finished building a new charcoal basket from 3/4" x #9 expanded metal .
The grate is an 18 1/2" WSM charcoal grate with three 1 1/2" x 1/2 bolt legs. Neither basket is attached. They both sit on the grate between the bolts and the outer ring. For shorter cooks I use the 4 3/4" high charcoal ring from the WSM. For longer cooks I will use the 8 1/4" high expanded metal version.

Nice
Wow that looks good. My wife might even let me have one if it looked like that!
I know of a product that will help you keep it looking like this if you are interested. It's called Ultra Seal and can be found at http://www.polishplus.com I works on motorcycle pipes and I use it on my SS gas grill. Jim

I have a question about the two baskets. The WSM has a lot less perforation than the expanded metal. Do you find the temperature lower when using the WSM ring. I built a UDS in the fall and only got a few burns off before winter. The temperature was 150 degrees higher than I could ever get my WSM. I am planning to try my WSM ring very soon but I thought I'd ask....

My drum is very well sealed and I can open the BGE draft door very wide if I need a lot of heat for hot and fast cooks. Your setup may be different. It will be easy for you to try the WSM ring. Let us know what you find.

Ironically enough my UDS setup will be very similar to yours. I have a weber performer fid (green) and the BE draft door. Im wondering since your rig is finished:
1.) How far off the bottom did you mount your vent? Im looking at 3" to match the bottom of my fire basket. 2.) What did you use to seal the BGE draft door? RTV? Stove sealer? 3.) DHow well does your UDS hold temperature? Does the large bge vent door seem to hold constant temperature? I really appreciate your help. I hope I can have similar results to you!! JV |

JV- I would mount your BGE intake at the bottom of the barrel. It is a great exit for the ashes at clean up time. I have mounted them in various positions up as high as 3"(to bottom) and there is no difference in performance. I never use any sealant as "close counts" when installing. Perhaps if you were mounting it over a dent or you had one of those barrels with ribbs at the bottom you would have to take more care but otherwise the door is snug.
The size of the hole in the UDS means nothing. The amount you have it open is the control. The large opening when opened up is a pizza makers delight but 180 is easypeasy. Your lump has no idea who the door man is and burns the same according to air available. Every barrel has a sweet spot. I have two going right now that are identical builds and one is sitting a little over 220 and the other is 235. I was trying for 225 for both. I'm sure I could dial them in tighter but that is where they settle. My high and low alarms are 25 deg. each side and I don't think they have ever gone off. The barrels are coming up on 8hrs now with no adjustments, shakes or peaking. |
