Nice drum and basket!
Hi All, just in the process of doing my first UDS. Currently stuck trying to figure out the lid.
I want to use my Weber lid for the extra room it'll give me. I kinda feel like going 8" down is getting kinda close to the charcoal basket if you are using the regular drum lid. Does anyone know for sure if you get better results using a kettle lid vs the drum lid?
As it stands, my kettle lid doesn't fit on my drum so it's going to have be one or the other. At first I was hoping to be able to use both.
If you're gonna set it up to use the Weber Lid keep the lower grate and add another just below the top of the drum. That'll give you two cooking levels when using the kettle lid as well as allow you to use the lower level only when using the flat lid. I have 2 grates which allows me to cook 6-8 butts at a time with the kettle lid.
Wow, this is like the mother of all UDS'S! Well done. Makes mine look like a little wimpy kid!
