I need help making a fire basket for my uds . I can't get metal mesh.

Would that work.

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.

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