Weber Charcoal Basket Hack

[Pat G]

I have a set of the nice stainless baskets and two sets of the standard Weber baskets. I saw this somewhere and used the old set of Weber baskets. Basically just remove the round part of the basket and I have this.

I do that with my old Weber " rails " , I use both of them on one side. I can adjust how much space to allow for charcoal. I then line the other side of the grate with aluminum foil. Works really well.

I use a rail and a piece of expanded sheetmetal to extend the coverage plus it is high enough to reach the grate. This allows me to really load the coals up if needed.

I use my rails too. I'd say the baskets get 65% of the duty and the rails get the remaining 35%

Looks like kind of a Slow-N-Sear for a whole lot less $ Pretty creative idea!
