Just like it said folks interesting ideas for UDS charcoal basket like this one.
Here's mine - haven't finished the UDS yet as I'm moving, but at least I have the charcoal basket done. I also installed a state of the art handle made from a clothes hanger from a Beverly Hills dry cleaner...:biggrin:
Heres an original idea...
Nice looking basket Moose.
However, you may want to make the legs longer to increase the draft.
The side on the pan has a tendency to stifle it a bit.
I would recommend that the bottom of the basket be no lower
than the rim of the ash can is tall.

Nice looking basket. I think the UDS works better with a fire burning from the the center out.
I don't understand the maze concept.
What is the advantage?

Thanks for the tip - what you are saying makes perfect sense. Very easy to swap those screws out for some longer ones. However, in doing so, it will elevate the basket above the draft holes/valves. Do you think that might also stifle the draft?
Barbarian I'm sure you've been asked this before but what are the dimensions of your basket? I had a round one made with the charcoal grate from a 22" Weber but it was too big to get out easy and I like the looks of yours. Thanks in advance.Here is mine. Not my invention, copied the idea from JDDER30 but I added the ashtray built into the bottom so cleanup is easy.
