Title: WSM charcoal ring in kettle
Post by: Lemans on May 10, 2016, 02:27:26 AM
I love my Weber charcoal baskets but I want something that holds more
 Brickettes for longer and hotter temps in the center for searing. I was
Thinking of putting the charcoal ring from my WSM 22 under my gourmet
Rack ( with the removable 10" grate) , but after looking at the two of them
It is too big. Do you think the one from the wsm 18 would fit or maybe the 14?

The 18 would probably fit.

You can also make your own out of expanded metal. Then you can customize it to whatever size you like.

I use one in my vintage kettles to keep the coals off the sides

But if you made it taller and smaller it would be great for steaks.

I just cut it to the size I wanted and used stainless steel bolts and washers to put it together

The Vortex would be perfect for this job if you're looking for an excuse...
