Thats cool titan! I like the table you built for your drum. Nice touch!:clap2:

Brothers, I am happy to report the following scoring update:
After a hard fought:cry:, 3 day:doh:, triple overtime battle:boxing:, I finally came out victorious. :clap2: Me : 1 Nasty-azz, PITA, are you farking kidding me, beige liner : 0 Scoreboard! |
Sorry guys, i'm new here and haven't managed to trawl all of this epic thread yet so if this has been addressed I apologise: how important is the shape of the charcoal basket? I planned to use a slightly dished mesh (10#) that is quite sturdy and made of stainless. Is this likely to cause me any problems? I was gonna use it as this is a basic as can be UDS build from whatever I can lay my hands on.

Got drum, solid top though, and tonight picked up a Weber 22" that I found on CL. Gradually getting the parts together to start the build!
Probably asked, so forgive me, but since my drum is a solid top, how is the best way to cut the top out, so the Weber lid will fit the best? Tks in advance! |
deadanddripping, my charcoal basket is square and my UDS makes some great que. I think the most important things are capacity and air flow. If both of those are good, the shape doesn't matter.

For the lid, I flattened out the lip on a Weber dome, positioned it on top of the drum and carefully re-lipped it to fit the drum. Now, it's so tight it almost "snaps" into place like a tupperware lid. |

Here is how mine is setup after breaking out the grinder and the welding machine on it.

I wanted a domed lid for several reasons but did not want to cut up or beat up my 22-1/2” Weber. Using ideas I found in this MOAUDS thread from several posters, I cut the lip from the drum lid with a pneumatic cutting wheel retaining a 1” rim all the way around. The lid from a 22-1/2” UniFlame grill from Wallyworld fit snugly inside the lip ring with some minor persuasion. Man, the metal on that cheap lid is thin. I was afraid it would blow right through if I tried to spot weld it to the ring; finally ended up using some medium temp brazing rod to attach it.
