I just procured two new wire charcoal baskets, but I'm worried about longevity. Between the humidity and salt air, unprotected steel doesn't stand much of a chance out here. I just replaced the Stōk cast iron grate with the stainless steel Weber hinged grate and I have a stainless steel charcoal grate on order. Searching for stainless charcoal baskets didn't bring up anything useful. Anyone know a fabricator who can do it?
My original charcoal baskets made it almost 2 years before needing to be replaced (grill was delivered on July 31, 2012).
