Looks good.  I believe @abcbarbecue is coming up with a lower priced SNS looks similar to this

Good job!!! Am considering one of those for a 26er. Not stainless, though.

I've made several frustums of various sizes. For myself, the patterns take a while & are worth the effort.

Thanks guys.
Did a dry run (no meat) today with it and temps bounced between 230-260 for 10 hours and there was still about 1" of water in the resivoir. The ash seemed to hang up a bit in the screen but I knocked them down around the 6 hour mark with some tongs and solved that problem. I also had to sweep the one touch a few times to clean the ash out of the bottom of the bowl so the air flow wasn't restricted. With the mesh size in the screen I used and the charcoal grate beneath, the holes were quite small so I can see why the ash was hanging up. Maybe some careful placement to make the screen holes and charcoal grate match up might fix this problem. Other than that I'm real happy with it.

That is a sweet looking custom charcoal basket ....
But, c'mon man .... 10 hour trial with no meat ?? .... You could've been eating like a king righta 'bout now ...  ??? ;D ;) ;)
A hunk of meat on the grill will affect the temperature and time, so be mindful of that ...

Yeah I know, I know. Shoulda put something on but I didn't have anything thawed out and didn't feel like running into town. Don't worry it won't happen again.
Yeah I realize it will act different with a chunk of meat on it. Did all these tests with my UDS also just to get a benchmark. So far so good. Next test will be a real world test
