Newbie to the site and I have been quickly sold on the UDS.
I picked up a drum yesterday..... new and unlined... http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j6...umor/Drum1.jpg The baby is already excited for her first pulled pork sandwiches http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j6...r/Drumbaby.jpg The dog is not happy with the new addition to the backyard http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j6...umor/drum2.jpg |
Here is my first of probably many UDS questions..... I have called around looking for pieces of expanded metal for my fire box with out much luck....
My question is would a metal dish drainer work. It is about the same size and I would just have to put some metal wire in the corners to fill in the only big gaps.... Any other suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. |

Check your local metal scrap yards or ask around the wielding shops in the area, if all else fails you can get it on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/3-4-X-9-EXPANDED...3286.m20.l1116
Good Luck! |
There is a home depot but all I saw there was smaller chunks for a decent chunk of change.... I have not called out to any metal yards... I will try there tomorrow... I tried a couple metal places with out a lot of luck...They required buying a 4'X8' sheet... I have a couple welders that I go to church with I will check with them
|
welders and machine shops are your best bet, IMHO.
post the pics when building and finished. |
Ok. If I am going to dump my barrel, where the heck do a I find another? I would even be willing to pay a fair price for new and unlined. Suggestions? Anyone in Minnesota (where I am) have any ideas?

ColdSmoke you can try these places for new drums.
http://secure2.data-comm.com/servlet...-Gallon/Detail http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg..._selected=Drum For more just do a Google search. And Pat where did you find the springs for the handles? It looks like you made the rest of the handle parts yourself. |
I just bought 6 of them from Bob Eickhoff at kck.com $10 each. Just the bent rod and the spring handle (5" stainless). No fancy rolled base like those above.
He also sells Tel Tru thermometers. |
