I think this basket lets you shake out all those small pieces of charcoal that stops up the bottom grate. Thus allowing the fire to stay hotter with more control of the heat. The basket just makes it easier to get rid of the small charcoal that blocks air flow.
I'll let you know how it works tomorrow. Cooking a chicken for dinner.
Has anyone used the basket yet? Feedback is appreciated.
Thanks...yes let me know how it does.
