    Lid for UDS

    If you can grab a measurement, that would be cool. My barrel appears 23 5/8th OD. I guess I will wait for some more input and see what happens. Thanks!! Bill P.

    Lid for UDS

    Hey Gang!! While I know barrel diameter is key, what brands "typically" fit as lid for UDS. That way i'll know what to look for on craigs list, etc. Saw generic 22.5 in grill and big lots today for $29 almost grabbed, but was unsure. Thanks in advance for the help!!
