Charcoal saver
« on: August 14, 2014, 01:56:37 PM »
I normally use expanded mesh but I was wondering if anyone has tried one of these
They'd want to be pretty good for the price

I'm only 2 or 3 kettles away from being that creepy guy down the street with all the Webers

Great idea... would not be that hard to make something like it.
Not sure how much better it would be than expanded metal. And it would reduce air flow = cooler fire

@Z - what was your offer?

I just use another grate turned 90 degrees.  I'm worred that the plate will restrict airflow & temperature too much 8)

Looking for a RED 26" Kettle & a tabbed no leg RED 22" Kettle near STL. Copper Sam Adams SJ anywhere 8)

Dollar tree! Seriously, they have a $1 round grilling tray. I bought one this summer. It would definitely fit into the bottom of your kettle.

I don't think you need to worry. It's not that big of a deal.  I don't think there are any dollar trees around here...good thing I ordered!
