Two years ago, I bought an old Japanese Kamodo very much like yours. i got it cheap because it had no innards at all. I gave it the UDS treatment.
I cut the handle off a 12" cast iron pan and used it for an ash pan and to protect the bottom. I made a charcoal basket from expanded metal and a grate holder from 1/8 x 1" mild steel. When i cook indirect, I place a disc and a foil covered terra cotta dish between the fire and the grate.
I regularly cook chicken or tri tip at 350 degrees and once let it go up over 500 degrees with no ill effects.
I have less than $100 into the entire project. When I was finished, I painted it Old Town Canoe green. My friends all think it's a BGE and I haven't corrected them.
