Used 3 1/4" x 2" bolts, worked fine, nice and solid. Do use 3 instead of 4. If your hole gets off a tad using 4, the grate could wobble. 3 eliminates that.

Yeah...mount rotisserie motor above a drum cover, with a bicycle chain fed through a small hole in the cover and sealed over with silicon rubber from a hot pad or something, bicycle chain turns skewer which hangs under the cover...weld feet to the top of the cover, so you can remove the cover and flip it over to work on the meat...could maybe make a hatch in the top whic can be popped open to baste/mop...Personally I wouldn't bother...Don't mess with simplicity...don't believe me?I give you our government...

I've made my air holes right at the bottem of the UDS so all I do is dribble a little water in and swoosh it around and out comes the ash of course I also have a tightly woven charcoal holder so I dont lose much ash into the bottem of the cooker anyway unless I jerk it around or bump it on one of the bolts that hold up the grills.

Mine's like Jerry's, except it's attached to an extensinon ring made from a segment of another drum rather than the main drum.
BTW Jerry: kudos on your blog!

As you see in the pic below, I use 4 landscape timber spikes for my top grate. These can wobble a bit but that's the whole purpose because it makes the grate self leveling. The grate below that is suspended on 3 bolts. Why not spikes and why not 4? No special reason.

I just threw my Weber rotisserie on top of mine and add a woodstove gasket around the ring. Works great.

I think I'll be going with four for stability, if something can happen it will with me!! Remembering back it looks evenly devided between 3 or 4 and u-bolts just add even more holes....... Scored a cooking grate at K-mart for $5. Just need another one(I'm going for a double grater). Checking on a stainless dommed lid from Arctic grill. Paul B |

Well, I will be starting the build on my first UDS tomorrow. This has become such an addiction that I'm afraid that it will not stop with just one. I will take pics as I go and post them on here. One question. I know that I should not use galvanized parts inside this thing but is a galvanized smoke stack ok? The temps at the exaust end should not be hot enough to cause problems, right? Thanks in advance and thanks for such a great forum.
