Don't tell the drumheads but with something like this I might be able to nix the UDS...not that I'm looking for a reason to do that but if you can easily get 12 hours at 225* .
I think to make it work on the UDS youll need to make a basket shaped like a doenut with the hole in the middle about 6" wide, and the about 10+ inches tall. Youll need about 1/2 - 3/4" space all the way around between the barrel and the basket I assume. To get an efficient burn.

On Bbq Bubba's basket, over at TQJ, his basket is 8" tall and about 19" wide. You would need to make up for the volume lost in the center of the doenut to get the burn time you would from a traditional style basket by making the doenut, or whatever you want to call it, taller.

On edit:Bubba's ring cant be 19" it is a 8" X 48" piece overlaped about 1-1/2 - 2". My ring is 14".

Hey y'all. My first post. I started with a Smokey Joe over 20 years ago. Great little grill. After the legs rusted off a friend took it and fabricated new legs and kept it smokin'. Later I got a 22.5 which served me well for years. I had to leave it in New Mexico cuz it wouldn't fit in the trailer when I moved back to TX. I will have another one! I have a new Smokey Joe which works fine for the wife and I, but too small for entertaining. I've been using a cheap Uniflame kettle for now, but it's not the same. Definitely not built to last like a Weber.

Glad to be here. Lots of great info. Watch for my post in a few days about my rescue of a NB offset smoker. Needs work but the firebox and cooking chamber are still intact.

This is good...thanks. Actually not thinking of doing this with UDS but I also have a Weber 22.5 that i was considering this for.

Ive got a couple of One Touch Basins sitting around from UDS Donor jobs... I am wondering how hard it would be to get the parts to make them One Touch Gold.. Ive never seen those parts at Homer Depot or any other place that stocks a lot of Weber parts... Is this worth my time or should I go grab a cute little Corona bucket for an ash catcher and call it a done deal?

I see the parts listed on Weber's page, but they also go by year... is there a difference in OT Basins by year?

Speaking of Weber...I had a post this weekend "operation performer restored" I ordered a new igniter and the lid thermo. A couple days later I was going to order the support beam/bracket that connects to each side of the ash catcher ring(this was the old style, they tend to rust out cause they are in contact w/ the bottome side of the bowl) the new ash catchers connect to the underside of the stubs the legs go in. Anyways I called Weber back to order a couple..I wanted a spare for down the road as I plan to have my red performer for another 20 years. They said dont worry about it...I will send you two for free. How cool is that? My '99 red performer is restored and I have spare parts...gotta like that. Weber rocks. Here is the original link..http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...tion+performer

Wife and I got married in August of 1978 and one of the wedding presents we got was a smokey joe. Cooked on it and took it with us when we moved 3 times then I lost touch with it somehow. Last spring while cleaning a shed in her moms yard, I found it under a bunch of stuff. Cleaned it up and started using it again. It could use a couple new grates though.

I knew there had to be a UDS-style threads for us Weber-heads! Pictures of my current stable are below; these are in addition to the red and blue 22 1/2" kettles sitting out back waiting for some restoration/modification work. Gotta love it...

A 22.5" Kettle is the most versatile tool a BBQ cook can have. I smoke, grill, cold smoke and use it as a warmer.

I haven't made any modifications to my grill, but I did have my big cooker modified to carry my Weber on a swing out arm. It works great.

I got tired of carrying it along to every contest we did, assembling and breaking it down every time. Now we just swing it out in to position and light it up. We cook our compitition chicken on it and also have it available to grill dinner on Friday night.
