Wanting to start an 85 gallon UDS build

[Southernfryedyankee]

Is there someone who makes quality round custom size grill grates, not looking for anything special just heavy gauge expanded metal that has a rod around the edge so its not sharp. I am pretty sure it will need to be around 25-25.5" in diameter to fit in but ill know more once I can get the drum to my house. Anyone know of a good supplier for 85g drums that are reasonably priced with decent shipping?

An 85 really doesn't get you that much more grill space vs a 55. I went with a 110.

And I went with two grates. Ordered from Michaels Custom Grill Works. Soooo not cheap, but I expect them to outlast me.

As long as the briskets are in the 12-14lb range I can squeeze two on each grate with a butt in there for good measure.
