Title: SnS Charcoal Basket - Back in Stainless!
Post by: 56MPG on March 11, 2020, 02:04:28 PM
I like using the SnS charcoal basket in my 22.5, despite that it's technically designed for the 18.5. (That's a bonus by the way.) Add the EZ Spin SS grate and a couple fire bricks as a heat shield, and it's as good as it gets. (Well, if you don't have a Marty basket that is.) Plenty of charcoal capacity for most everything I cook. Anything longer and I'll use the 26er or the smoker. Now that it's back in stainless, I might just have to buy another one, and I'm Marty for pete's sake!

I have the original run SS and it's a must for anyone running a 18.5. It rarely leaves my current cooker. And if I remember correctly,  the orig. price on the original SS was quite a bit higher than the $39.95 of this version.

+1, this is a great accessory and the original SS basket was $55+ shipping.

It's OK if you cheat on yourself.  ;)  And yes, I did order one, but I already have a mod in mind...

does it fit in an outrider?

I don't have an Outrider close by, but if there is more than 3 3/8" between the grates, the answer is yes.

   Got two when they first came out, and yes they do fit the outrider. Killa Grilla makes a flip up grate for the outrider which is a must have.

I also just ordered one.  Looked into getting one quite awhile back when they were still available but no longer were making S.S. versions. Was told they wouldn’t be putting out a stainless version again so I didn’t order one.  Glad I held off and glad they changed their mind!

IDK, but very shiny..... time will tell.  My 2.0 has rust on it and the rivets are rusting.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase but slightly bummed that it doesn’t hug the inside of the kettle as closely as the SnS 1.0+.

Is it rust or oxidation? A magnet can solve this puzzle.

Sprayed it all over today with canola oil, so that will take care of it for now...
