Need UDS Donor parts in Canada.

I'm about to start my journey into UDSdom.

I got a food grade barrel with a lid. It held grape juice before so it's got a liner. It doesn't have ribbed sides. I'm hoping it lasts a few years, but it seems to be fairly light gauge metal. I got the lid, barrel and band for $15.


I'll be doing a burnout of the liner and paint as soon as it dries out around here. Might be some dry weather on the weekend.

I'm having a problem sourcing parts at a reasonable cost.

Craigslist and Kijiji are coming up with $100+ used weber grills within a 20 minute drive of me. I've looked online at the Cdn sites for HD, Lowes, Home hardware, Cdn Tire and can't find the grates for the 22" size for under $40.

I'm contemplating ordering the Masterbuilt Pro 22" kettle from Homedepot dot ca for $70 and maybe using the lid, grill and grate from that.

The expanded metal, I hope to get to the metal supermarket in Kitchener on Saturday morning for a reasonable price.

I've only done ribs and wings before smoked on a Broil King Sovereign propane grill. I do the indirect heat with hickory chips/ pellets wrapped in a foil package. For the ribs I did 75 min smoke, 120 mins oven at 230F (had to leave the house), 60 mins foiled, then 60 mins back on the grill on low. sauced with PC brand hickory bbq sauce.

I'll attach a pic of ribs I did this way a couple weeks ago.

Thanks guys,

I think Canadians order through Amazon.ca not Amazon.Com, but I'm not an expert.
They have different prices for some reason.

I found a 'new' Weber 22" kettle on kijiji for $75. A member here alerted me to a used one about 50 miles away for $40,but not sure if it's worth the extra 90-120 minutes drive time when you take into account the $10 for diesel to get there.

Heidelberg is near Waterloo, Ontario

Checked the Waterloo HD. No signs of any weber OTS or WSM. Just fake Christmas trees and snow blowers.

Good news.

I got the Weber OTS off of kijiji for $72.brand new and assembled. Missing the glass nylon handle cover of the the dome, but wondering if I can swap the one from the kettle to it. If not I'll machine a piece out of wood.

The guy won it in a draw, but lives in a condo apartment and can't use it. The dome fits perfectly over my barrel with no modifications. Sweet.

Got a piece of flat expanded metal #9 gauge 12x48" cut at the local metal supermarket for $21 after tax.

Now time to get to work on it.
