Weiser you should probably go to the Penalty Box in the Woodpile.
And you got the 3,000th post out of it, lol. |

He can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Norcoredneck http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=43943 measures 8" down from the top of the barrel for his lower grate. If the barrel is 33 1/2" tall (like mine), then the grate is 25 1/2" above the bottom of the barrel. If your charcoal basket is 2-3" above the bottom, then the grate is 22 1/2" - 23 1/2" above the basket. Also, the bottom of the barrel is not as low as the rim of the barrel, which is where many people measure from. Net result - it seems that there is some leeway in where you put the grate. |

I succesfully scored the Weber!
The cooking grates are a lil' rusty but I'll get them clean. The rest seems to be intact. Plus....the kettle fits perfect! So far spend:2 barrels and 1 Weber 57cm/22,5"= 45,00 euro's/58,00 dollars.....plus a little time and petrol.:-D |
Anyone with a flat lid drum have 2 racks inside? I know it will be a little tight if you move the top rack down 3 inches or so. But maybe if you moved both down 3inches or so it'll work.
Just wondering if anyone played around with any of these ideas. |

Biggs, I really like the idea of keeping the splice at the bottom...
Smoke rises, right? Weiser |
After about 8 cooks I've noticed quite a bit of liquid in the bottom of my UDS. I put some Floor Dry in to absorb it. Anyone else having this? I do not recall reading any commenys about this. Thanks!

I think that this is probably some condensation just finding the lowest point in the drum. Simply take a couple of wadded-up paper towels and give it a wipe. |

Well, you all have really inspired me. I just joined bbq-brethren.com thanks to this thread. I'm only half way through reading this thread, but I just finished my first UDS. Here are some pics, including my umbrella mod due to some heavy rain today.
Thanks for all the shared input and helpful advice. Good stuff. |
