    Copy cat mod?

    Hi I recently found this and thought it's a great idea however the company doesn't ship to the USA, do any of you have an idea of where I can buy something like this to make myself? Or maybe have any ideas. I'd love to be able to add a 2nd grate for the pit barrel and this seems like a more reliable idea than hanging on hooks.

    Ace hardware. Just buy some nuts and bolts, drill a hole in your drum at the height you want.

      You may be able to adapt these to the PBC.


      or
      Increase the capacity of your drum smoker with the Hunsaker 5 position adjustable rack system. Fits 30 and 55 gallon drum smokers.

        Fancy! You handy at all? Some straight steel, a metal drill bit for the hang holes, and a metal-working vice to bend the steel would work, I'd think.

        I'm thinking this kind of steel, which is probably thicker than you need, so if you could find some thinner stuff, might be worth checking into. They have galvanized, but I doubt you want that in your cooker:

          What dpearce wrote, but Ace Hardware has 1/8" and 0.11" by 3' or 6'. Easier to bend and plenty stiff.

            Don’t make my mistake, I found some random shelf brackets see below and used those. As mentioned above, just grab some stainless nuts and bolts, drill the PBC. Works like a charm.

            The little brackets “worked” after I knocked out the rivet, but not knowing exactly what metal they were I just went with stainless and all is well.
