Upgrade: ash catcher

A simple design I copied from many other UDS pitmasters who, like me, would rather not have to vacuum out, pour out, scrap out or otherwise clean out the bottom of their UDS.

16" pizza pan from Walmart for $3.82
Nuts and bolts were around $11
Pulling out all the ash with the charcoal basket and not having to bend over or tip the can over to do it, worth it!

Nice Scooter! I was looking at mine yesterday and thinking that I really need to clean it.... so I fired up the MAK ;)

I see a trip to Walmart in the future.

Soo easy Patrick!

Here's what it caught after my chicken cook. Pulled it out an dumped it into my ash bin. Ready for another cook.

Here's what was left on the bottom of the drum after the cook. Yes, I have an 18" foiled pan under my 16" pizza pan ash catcher to catch what the ash catcher doesn't then I have the bottom foiled also. What can I say, I'm lazy.

Hey Scooter, I did this mod to mine this afternoon. I had a 16" deep dish pizza pan already so just a few SS blots and nuts got it done. Great Idea! Thanks
