10X48 piece of expanded metal. Used a Weber charcoal grate for bottom and then an 18 inch cake pan for ash catcher. By the way, whoever said to bend expanded metal around a propane tank to shape is funny. Here's what worked for me. I put 2 bolts with washer into one end of expanded metal then rolled the entire piece into a circle with pressure from above. While holding that I dropped the washers in and hand tightened the nuts to hold it all together. After you've got the basic shape bolted together you can then add more pressure all around to get it more round.

UDS complete except for a big University of Miami U on the front. Got the first smoke going to season it. Slab of bacon on there. Trying to get it dialed in. Been going 3 hrs between 220 and 240. Let's see.

Thank you Russ, I'm going to use my digital dual probe for the top rack. After running it for about 8 hrs with bacon to season I realized I need a water pan/dripping pan. Bacon grease was dripping all over the place. Getting burned up on coals and smoking back up onto the bacon. Tasted terrible. I'm going to get a brand new drum and start over. Gonna cut the top 8 inches off of this one and add it to the top of the new one so I can have three levels and use the bottom one for the drip/water pan.
