Can you tell what it is yet?

Fingers crossed but it is a right PITA getting the right pipe fittings to do it!

Almost got all the parts.  My 54.5cm folding edges weber style grill pan arrived, temperature probe and paint!

All stainless bolts, washers and nuts as well.

Still no idea how I'm going to attach the copper 22mm pipes & valves to the side. British fittings aren't quite as snug as US ones, so I need a 22 wide u-bolt which is 110-115mm long.  Not many of those about as far as I can see!

Bought some brass handles, but frankly they're not a great fit.  I'm going to make my own using some some stainless bolts and some wood.  Push the wood out using some thinner copper pipe.

My existing step bits haven't been big enough for the job and I had an "emergency" job to fix a laser cutter which required a large hole enlarging, so I bought a rather expensive step bit from screwfix which did the job.  It looks like it'll probably do this job as well so I'm fairly ready to start.

Have now managed to grab a 57" Weber for £42 - hope to pick it up this weekend and make a start on the build.  Even though the grill looks a little rusty, it'll clean up with a wire brush and I'll oil it up ready for the next stage.  I was very much inspired by a UDS by William Kasper - I liked the pirate sign he put on the front (Keep out, this means you matey!) and I'm off to a community camping event in August where there will be many enquiring people who want to see what's inside.  It's fairly apt considering it'll be in 'the naughty corner - "abandon hope all ye who enter here"'

Having read through a few smoking threads I've seen that you can buy rib stands to really economise on space - with three grills I'll really be able to stack up the meat.  Hoping to do 18 racks of ribs on the saturday and on the sunday I'm planning on doing three large chunks of brisket.  Does the quantity of meat massively affect smoking times?

Managed to fit in a pickup last night for the grill as it's sort of on my 155m drive home.  It's in much better condition than I thought which is good.  I'm going to sort out full photos and I've been reading and gathering my thoughts on everything as well.
