A bigger better basket case

[Kneab]

 I just ran to Weber on my lunch break. Char baskets are on clearance for $5.03 so for a grand total of $10.76 with tax.
I now own a pair of 26 inch charcoal baskets.
Thanks Marty. 👍

Congratulations on the 500th post Marty.
I probably shouldn't tell you that I drive about 2 blocks from the factory on the way to and from work.
Sorry 😂

I don't have a S&S, so can't compare. My thought was to keep it as simple as possible. I couldn't come up with a no-screw version in my head, so I went with this. I figured everyone has baskets and could cobble this up in no time. Much as I like to tinker, if Weber made a bigger basket like this, I'd be a customer.

coulda used rivets but if you wanna take it back apart would need to drill

Thanks! I was not even watching for that. I started over as I was approaching 3,000 posts a while back. (You can still find me as MartyG.) Took a long nap. Focused on some other things for a year or so. Came back right where I left off, but under a new user name. It was kind of fun being a rookie again.

Thanks for the great idea. Most of my cooks are indirect with one basket absolutely stacked to the hilt. Gonna give this a go.

Great idea.

Thank you @56MPG for motivating me to make mine.  Nothing bolted, screwed, or riveted except one SS hose clamp.



Inside.


Outside.


So far so good. I will try to make a block off plate for the front straight section.

Nice! Looking forward to other's ideas. Nothing like teamwork to get the problem solved. It's like Mod Month Spring Training!

So Kneab, I see your in LITH, when you say you ran to Weber, are you saying the Huntley location?

Nope. The factory in Palatine. I work about 5 miles from it. I don't think you can buy anything in Huntley. I have never been there. I probably should check it out.

[racedvl]

Yeah I kind of figured as much I don't know if Huntley sells anything either. But if Huntley did it would be a whole lot closer for me living in Woodstock.

Just got a new set of baskets.  Gona try this.  Great idea!

@ Davescprktl - If you want the same size as mine ( almost exact same size as the slow and sear ), join where I marked in violet color so you do not have to do what I did shown in orange to make it smaller.
