I used Rustoleum Engine Enamel (engine block spray paint) to paint this thing. It says to wait 7 days for it to fully cure. Is that really necessary? I want to cook this weekend!

doc I had 2300 degree engine paint on mine over Wally World 99 cent black and had an ABT grease fire. Burnt the 2300 stuff right off but didn't do anything to the black. Go figure.
Haha...well I guess I can always periodically apply fresh coats. Screw it...I'm cooking on this thing tomorrow!
My MUDS is going to that big smokehouse in the sky.
I spent the evening building my UDS. This is what I did for the fire basket. I have no welding skills so I did what I could...any suggestions:
I used the charcoal pan and grate (15.5") from my ECBrinkmann for the ash pan and charcoal grate:
I used two 24" x 12" sheets of expanded steel from Lowes and used hex bolts and washers to secure them together. Then I used tin snips to cut and fold the bottom so I could secure the basket to the grate and pan with more bolts and washers.
Then I drilled 1/4" holes about every 3 inches around the ash pan for airflow to the bottom of the charcoal grate.
Could be as soon as next weekend I can't stand the thought of not having one more good burn. She's got a rust hole in the side that is not repairable so I'm thinking a high heat yardbird cook then striping her down so all ger goodness can be used in another MUDS. I won't reuse the thermo though as I intend to leave her with some dignity.We shall all morn for your loss. :sad:
When will services be held? :rip:
