I am in the process of acquiring materials for my UDS build. Regarding the charcoal basket, I see many of you have fabricated one out of expanded metal. My question is what type of metal is it? Especially cocerned with the galvination issue.

I would assume that since many have used this option it is safe. Just trying to be sure.

Also what gauge would you recommend for the basket?

Thanks.

Stuff I got was at home depot in sheets. It's stainless and I cut it with metal sheers. Wasn't to thick. 16 or 18 gauge . $10 per sheet. 24x12
