Took three lengths of 1/4" all thread and temp wired to my grate. Works perfect! Drop in and rotate into the slots.
Keith I mainly made the adjustable rack so that I can drop the grate if I don't have enough clearance to the lid. The charcoal basket will also have supports to side into the rack so it can be raised up as high as I want it to go.I like it Case! Hopefully you won't have to do much adjusting though and just control the heat....
If you're doing a adjustable height basket keep in mind you'll want it up towards the middle of the barrel because the flames will get you when you're searing! Bending down in the barrel to sear is NO Good...lol
Oh ok, i think i know what you're saying. I was hoping that you were doing something like that so you can move your charcoal basket upKeith I mainly made the adjustable rack so that I can drop the grate if I don't have enough clearance to the lid.

I will be able to move the charcoal basket up. It will sit in the same supports as the rack. I will be able to bring the basket right up to the bottom of the rack. Or I could lower the rack all the way down to the basket. Both the cooking grate and the basket will have support pins.Oh ok, i think i know what you're saying.

Yes I'll be using a hook for the basket. Yes I will tack weld the all thread to the grate. I just wired it up so I'd know where they needed to be.Right i knew you're using a Weber grate...the basket i was hoping you could use a hook to swing it into the brackets.
Are you gonna attempt to tack weld the bolts onto the grate or stick with wire to hold it?
Progress??
I like the adjustable rack system.
I have been kicking around the idea of an UDS for chicken comps.... may have to explore it a light more now.....
which is the most important part and the best part. The cooking grate. .. mehthe charcoal basket is going to be able to move up and down too, or just sit down at the bottom.
We use drums for feed storage for our livestock. I will have to see what I can get my hands on.
With running the risk of a slight hijack.......... How do you plan to seal the top? Or is it supposed to have air gaps at the top for venting......
