I think it is around an 18" base. I use three grates in my drum: first grate 1" down, second grate 6" below that, and terracotta pot base sits on the third grate another 1 - 2" below that.

Did the burn out the weekend. Finished the charcoal basket, but didn't get pics. Just going to add some high heat paint, chamber gauge and lid. Hopefully going to cook on it this weekend.

i've gone through hundreds of posts this weekend and purchased everything I need except the expanded metal for the charcoal basket.
Can anyone tell me where I may be able to locate some expanded metal? I tried Home Depot and they didn't have any, I called a local machine shop in Dallas and they were going to charge me $74 for a sheet that is 8" by 44", which seemed a bit high to me. Another question just came up, if I were to purchase a barrel with a teflon coated inside, would I need to burn out the teflon or could I use some sort of cleaner? Assuming of course it would be safe to cook/eat from after cleaning out the inside. Any opinions/recommendations would be appreciated Last edited by Sub; 03-15-2010 at 10:07 AM.. |

https://www.metalsupermarkets.com/ca...ductID=EXC349F These guys will cut it to shape for you, but keep in mind that you can't specify in which direction you want it cut, i.e. with the long axis of the diamond shapes aligned with the length of the sheet vs. across the sheet. Maybe you can call them up and specify that... http://www.mcmaster.com/#9302t89 This is a 24" square sheet. You'd have to get out a jig saw, a hack saw, an air-powered cutoff tool, a torch, or put it on a sheetmetal shear to cut it to size. In order to make a circular wall that goes around (for example) a base made out of a charcoal grate from an 18.5" Weber (available at Home Depot or Lowes), you'll need to cut two 8x24" pieces from the sheet. As for bending the expanded steel sheet, I devised this method, but haven't tried it yet. I haven't been able to find the time to build my UDS yet, but I'll be trying this method when I do: I'll then be welding the two half-circle-shaped 8"x24" pieces around the above mentioned charcoal grate and welding it all together. Good luck! -Rodney

You'll need to cut the length to suit the diameter of whatever grate you're using.
