Hey Al, I was hoping you'd reply to this thread at some point
I've got a few questions I know you can help with.
1. The only drum we could get was a food grade lined drum, it was also a bit stumpy at 32.5". We've managed to get a set up that gives us our 24" clearance and just enough space for a butt, however it's tight. Where did you get your drums from? did you manage to get unlined drums?
2. Did you manage to find washers big enough for 3/4" pipe nipples?
3. Where did you find stainless zip ties?????
4. Our current charcoal basket is just an Excel basket mounted on legs made from stainless bolts with a 16" allly pizza pan as a charcoal basket. I couldn't find expanded steel mesh anywhere, at least not without buying an 8' x 4' sheet and even then I couldn't find it locally. You're not that far from me, have you got a local supplier of expanded steel mesh?
5. One last question - where did you find a smaller drum for a mini UDS and what size was it?
Looking forward to hearing your answers mate.
Cheers
Steve
