Hello, I've just recently stumbled upon this fantastic site, I have a quick question for my UDS that I am currently building.
I drilled all my holes yesterday for my grate hardware, and I figured that I had enough clearance between the bottom of the barrel and my first grate. I have the bottom of my charcoal basket sitting at 4" from the bottom, I have a rack for a deflector/water pan at 14", then I have a cooking grate set at 21", then a second grate set at 28". That puts my first grate 17" from the bottom of my basket. I see today that the grate should be 24" from the bottom of the charcoal basket, does anyone think I will have any issues with that bottom grate since I plan on running a diffuser plate/water pan?
