I was wandering about the holes also. I was going to see how it did first (I'm tired of drilling) and then add some more if needed but I think I will take your advice and go ahead and drill more. The biggest drill bit I have is 1/2" but I am going to get a 1" hole saw for the intake nipple's so I will use that.

Mistas first drum had one sorta like that. I would insure you can maintain 24" from expanded metal to lower grate. Most important measurment in my opinion. |

I am curious about your basket, I like the design but have a couple of questions. What did you use as a base for the expanded metal to fasten to? I also was wondering how long the bolts were that you used for the legs or feet.

Does anyone think 12 inch fire basket for the uds is too small?

Bolts are 3 1/2" long with double nuts and washers sandwiched around the grate.

I am only going to have one cooking grate in this one. To keep it at 24" I have to keep the grate at 5" below the top of the drum. That is one reason I didn't weld the box together. I still haven't made my mind up on it yet. I left a 2" gap between the ash pan and the grate so the coal grate is 4 1/2 " from the bottom of the drum. I am still thinking of not using an ash pan to get more room at the top for the cooking grate. I don't mind scooping or dumping the ashes out.

the legs are 1/2" square tubing cut 10 1/2 inches long. I bolted the bottom of each leg in the ash pan with 1 bolt and the top of the leg to the box with 2 bolts each. It would have been easier to weld it together but I still might change some stuff and with it bolted together if I ever need to replace the grate I can just unbolt it and replace it.

So I'm working on the class stuff and I'm thinking - if we go with 12 inch firebaskets I can cut the cost down a little bit, but now I'm wondering - valves on the air flow or nipples? What makes sense? I've used valves for me personally, but I don't always use them. Would a nipple cap work just as well? Loosen and tighten? I think I've got some experimenting to do today.....

Well Bob: the simplest/cheapest route is to drill holes (3/4 - 1") and attach little tabs that pivot with a short stove bolt to cover the holes.

Thanks for the info, I am tossing around a couple of ideas may integrate your design. I will post a pic of mine when it is done.
