I have many bbq's and smokers. From the Big Green Egg to my trusty Weber kettle and they all get used during the year. I have to admit my Weber kettle gets most of the use because we love to grill. The kettle can also be used to bake when you use an indirect fire. To build this indirect fire, charcoals are banked in two metal baskets. The stock Weber metal baskets are made of a thin steel that works perfectly fine. The problem is after several years they burn out and need to be replaced. I wanted to get something a little more sturdy. I found a company called the Burn Shop out of Texas.
This is heavy duty steel meant to last. There are two removable and adjustable metal dividing bars in the center. You can make your charcoal containment area smaller or larger. There is plenty of air circulation to keep the charcoals alive. I even believe the thick metal heats up and adds a few more degrees to the cooking chamber. I have only done several cooks with this new tool and it works like a charm.

Interesting find. You see your favorite waiter in the news? Disappointed they didn't reach you for comment- https://www.sfgate.com/food/article/casa-orinda-restaurant-bay-area-18694452.php
Aaron, Our favorite waiters name is Rudy and we request him when we make reservations. He is a tall large dark man who just radiates and personifies the definition of "Cool". All the waiters are good but Rudy just has an aura that relaxes and guarantees enjoyement. See you Saturday in Lodi.
Wow, that has a Star Trek look to it, very nice.
We didn't sign up for Lodi because now is usually an annual vacation which it turned out we couldn't take anyway, alas. Have fun!
Aaron, you are telling me you could go if you wanted. It is a beer festival.
