Uds fire basket help

[Millwell]

I need help making a fire basket for my uds . I can't get metal mesh.
I might buy this http://www.tesco.com/direct/tesco-kettl ... d=205-5792
And drill holes in the charcoal pan.

I bought a sheet of stainless steel expanding mesh off ebay think it was about £29 delivered bit pricey but its the only thing I had to pay for. I cant see why that won't work you might have to keep the legs on but cut short to make it stable.

I got some mesh at a metal recycling scrapyard. Wasn't pretty - but it didn't need to be.

Look in your yellow pages to see if there is one near you.
