I am planning on building my 2nd UDS for my brother in law over Xmas and was looking for some input on fire basket options.
On my first one I took a 12" tall piece of expanded metal and rolled it in a circle, bolted the ends and wire tied a charcoal basket 3" from the bottom. Pretty standard stuff.
Thing is, the damn thing nearly killed me. Rolling the expanded metal was by far the hardest part of the job. Maybe I just had too heavy a gauge wire, but hey, the stuff was priced right (free!)
Soooo what do you guys have for firebaskets? How did you roll it? I was considering making a square one out of 4 seperate pieces that i would wire tie in the corners.
Thoughts/pictures are appreciated!
