Morning Guys,
I'm at the planning stage of my UDS build, I've bought the drum, bought the ballvalves etc, (they are coming from china so awaiting eagerly!)
I'm trying to figure out what to do re the charcoal basket, I've a friend whos granddad is a blacksmith so I've asked him to quote for making me one out of expanded steel however I was in home-base yesterday and I noticed they have round barbecue replacement grills in for £5, they are 53cm in diameter, which is about the right size for a drum I think? (I forgot to measure mine before heading to work).
So my question is, rather than using a washing machine drum, or a custom made charcoal basket, can I just put a second grill in 6" above the bottom and pile up the charcoal on there?
Dont worry, will take pictures once I start the build!
