My first attempt to post pictures.

The UDS, a big thanks to my FIL and irrad8 for their help and of course to all the great knowledge here. I'm just waiting on a basket to be built before I fire her up. I used a Char-Broil kettle lid to take advantage of the hinge.

Whoa-oh Black Betty Blam-a-lam...:biggrin: Nice job brother drummer!

That looks exelent! Man, I've got to get my drum finished :redface:.

That's great, I like that lid hinge...does it fit the drum pretty tight?

crome · Jun 17, 2008

Good Job !!

Hinged lid...Killer idea!

Midnight Smoke · Jun 17, 2008

I like it! Hinged lid great idea, off to the hardware store.

radmanct · Jun 17, 2008

yes the lid fits perfectly right out of the box.

I was lucky, Menards had the grill on sale for 30 bucks. I can use the lid, grate, and charcoal grate. I used the handle for the bottom to repair an old weber lid for a UDS I built a co-worker.

Nice build. My drum sits in my driveway, unfinished, mocking me.

I like the hinge on the kettle lid. Do you have any detail photos of the hinge setup, preferably .jpg?
