85 Gallon drum score
I just found a FREE 85 gallon drum on... well my secret stash
 I just have to find some good deals on 26.5 in grates and I should be well on my way to creating my XL UDS.... My question is how much bigger should I build the fire pit for this thing? Should I put four holes in the bottom instead of three? The barrel was used for grease and is kind of messy, but I figure a good hot burn out, some sanding and then a good coat of bacon grease from a fatty or two and we should be good to go.

For my 55 gal drum I used the coal grate from a 18.5 Webber as the base if my basket.
Following that logic the coal grate from a 22.5 weber should work.
