Great work! Expanded metal works great for charcoal baskets.

i was finally able to try this contraption out... it worked great! I could see why so many people enjoy the SNS. Really gives a nice big concentrated area of blazing hot heat. I should mention too, although unplanned, it perfectly took a full chimney of charcoal.

That's the way to do it!

I have some sizeable baskets in the garage somewhere.  Always handy!

I'd like to do this when I get some free time and the requisite expanded steel, wire, and a new cut off wheel for my angle grinder.

I now have three ash can supports that lack ash cans (!) and since I don't think anyone sells just the ash bucket by itself, the support ring is scrap material looking for a project like this. Or maybe I'll just ramp it up and use all 3 for one basket, making it better insulated so as to concentrate the heat even more. Just talking out loud at this point.

Here's a tie-in from this thread to Marty's similar mod: http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/a-bigger-better-basket-case/

Is there an online place that will sell small quantities of expanded stainless?

Thanks!
