- Made for under $30 with new parts but can be made for a lot less money for stuff you might have just sitting around . Thanks to Larry for helping on this build from the UDS Group .
Excellent. Way less hassle than making a mesh one!! You rock !
thanks
I sure love watching your videos where I currently live there's 2 ft of snow it's 0° and it's not very inviting outside. I watch your video and it makes me remind me of summertime you got the crickets and the bugs chirping in the background you can hear that atmosphere it just looks and feels warm not zero and 2 ft of snow though insulated cabinet smokers work really good in the cold weather
Thanks
This is a great post. It answered all my questions about a basket for my homemade UCD’s. Thanks🥃
You are welcome .
I’ve been watching numerous videos on UDS’s and this one had something “new”. Have enjoyed your other videos as well. Have a great 4th!
thanks
Best diy basket I’ve seen. Thanks
Thanks
just made one out of expanded metal I wish I saw this before, might still give it a go
I’m fixing to build a uds and was curious of how do the basket . Thanks for sharing the idea .
you are welcome and glad the video helped you out .
I had no idea that galvanized metal can make you sick. Thanks for sharing.
you're welcome
I read all of the posts on the UDS group and which I am a member of and I am friends with Larry on face book , lol .
Nice video on making a bcf basket. I’m making one soon. Thanks
Thanks
That is a great instructional video on the BCF. I'm considering upgrading my fire basket to one soon. Thank you.
it works better than buying one and we owe it all to Larry for his design .
Just what i needed to see. Thanks
your welcome and Beer Can Fisher came up with the design and gets all the credit and I just did a video on how to do it .
Looks like it works good. I'm in the process of building a smoker, where did you get the handles and other parts. Thanks
Thank you for this video!!! This helped me out a lot!!
you are welcome but I give credit to Beer Can Fisher for the design and I just made the video on what to do .
Dude if I could picture my build this would be exactly it. Only other thing I plan on doing is using a Weber lid. Did you ever find out how long a full load of charcoal would go in the bcf?
I can't find a non galvanized metal bucket at Loews or Home Depot. Unless I just missed them. Any suggestions anyone?
you might have to order online at Home Depot www.homedepot.com/p/Vestil-5-Gal-Black-Steel-UN-Rated-Pail-PAIL-STL-RI-UN/205526536
@@MidwestFreak Thank you sir. Home Depot was out, but I found it at another place online.
I think if you put one hole in the bottom of your fire bucket basket it would’ve worked even better. The air would have no choice but to go through the coals making it burn even more efficiently.
How many lbs of lump charcoal will it hold?
Are you able to use the lower grill plate (12" down) for cooking/smoking with that setup? The bucket seems like it's kinda tall.
From new zealand..awesome design.. im new to th8s..do i need to make a hole on the drum for air vent?
your drum will need some kind of vent system and there is many ways to do it .
That's a nice BCF design, if I were you I would mention Larry beercan In your video the gentleman who invited that fire bucket!!
Thanks Beerman....
Yup he stole Larry's Design.
Did you happen to say how big that bucket is you got from HD? I did hear to make sure it’s not galvanized, just not what size...
5 gallon steel bucket from Home Depot .
you can buy them here and they have different sizes too . www.homedepot.com/p/Halex-3-4-in-Service-Entrance-SE-Water-Tight-Uf-Connector-90662/100131217
I thought you would burn bottom up. Tumbleweed in the ash pan.
I can't find these buckets on home depot's website.... any idea on where to find them
Had to order off the online store and have it shipped to my house .
@@MidwestFreak How is it holding up? Its been awhile since this video came out.
Love Royal Oak charcoal. The company I work for pulls loads out of their plant in Salem, MO. Central Missouri is and thru the south and southwest part of the state is a huge producer of Charcoal. .
Junk charcoal
Is that a stainless steel 5 gallon bucket?
no just regular steel
where did you get your probe plug to fit in the 1 inch hole? great video BTW
home depot
@@jeremysillo5540 what kind of pipe?
What did you use to catch drippings? Did you place it directly on top of the bcf bucket. What did you use to sand/smooth ot after burning?
10 hours and kept going. What is the actual cook time you get on it at 250 degrees?
Yes Larry told me how to make it and i give him props . I just made a video to show how one is made since a lot of peple do not do the face book thing .
You should have gave him credit in the Video. Off this Topic.
why you getting so butt hurt John Kiedel ? there is probably a 100 videos of them being made , just because I use a maze in my other cookers I am suppose to find who made the first maze to give credit for that person ? he posted that design to 1,000 of people so get over it buddy .
Well I don't have FB and I've looked on many forums and haven't seen this idea. So I'm glad this video was made and props given to the creator.
Can you just use the small holes all the way around instead of the big holes
Do you still like this better than your lavalock basket? Thanks
yes because i got longer burn times with it
What did you drill the holes with?
a metal hole saw from Ace Hardware for $7
Did you have to order the bucket from Home Depot..? because my HD does not have them and I cant find any on there website.
yes I had to order online but you might do the search in your area on their site too .
Do you have a part #..? I have been searching and cant find any on there site.
I looked here in my area and they do not have them. A part number would be great...thanks.
clicked on the old order detail and looks like they do not sell them anymore . I bought a extra but would cost to much to ship it .
Will any metal bucket do for making a fire pit?
yes just make sure it is steel .
Big$MoneyBoss make sure it isn’t galvanized.
Nice video! Where did you end up purchasing the buckets from?
Home Depot for $15
I'm sorry, I just watched the video again from the beginning and you had already stated that.

NICE FIREPIT DID YOU MAKE IT?
hdbagger4266 yes and came out better than expected .
How long did the bcf go for?
10 hours and had to go to bed so it will go longer but I will do another test at a later date .
That's a Larry Beercan design. You should have gave him props. He designed these 10 years ago
Thanks Rider....I've been making uds's for 10yrs...the BCF(BeerCan Firebucket) for only 2yrs👍
Any one try this ? How long does it burn for ?
Good looking bucket..mmmmm....hot fire..mmmm..not much money..mmm...should work just fine.mmmm
You stole LARRYBEERCANFISHER design. He's been making these for over a year. He's in the UDS Page on Facebook.
John Kiedel 2 guys can drill holes in a bucket
Shared his version. Still a good idea.
By the Way You forgot to drill a hole for the starter cube.
John Kiedel i do not start mine that way .
