Title: nearly finished UDS!
Post by: 31bravo on April 25, 2010, 08:04:41 am

well took me about 3 months to get this UDS where it is today. Started by burning it out then welded on some legs then had it sandblasted then assembly I still need to weld on handles on the side they are going to be wood handles attached to 1 inch X 1/8th inch flat stock I'm just going to bend it into a L then drill a hole for the screw (approximately 3-4 inches from the drum) then weld them on. Also I need to make a wood handle for the top. As you can tell I used a Webber grill top and only have 1 rack for now but ill be adding a second 6 inches above the current one. The charcoal box consists of a 18inch Webber grill bottom a sheet of 12x48 16 gauge expanded metal and a bunch of stainless steal screws to lift it and to keep the shape of the box. The legs are made from 3 inch stainless steel exhaust pipe roughly 6 inches long to keep the ladies at bay.

cost:
$15  drum
$45  Webber top
$22  Expanded metal
$16  18 inch bottom grate
$20  22.5 inch top grate (x2)
$28    hardware/ misc
$25  sand blasting
$20  Paint

$211 Total


AND NOW SMOKING PORN PICS:

Nice job. Looks like you'll be happy with the out come. The one thing about it is, you finish this one, and you'll be starting another. Enjoy your cooker.
