Justin Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Find a local metal fabricator. Maybe local light industrial or a local blacksmith? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Monkey Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 This is the only thing I can find, but can’t find anywhere that is selling them in the UK. Fire baskets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis69 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks for that. Very nice basket. Saw Harry Soo using this. Very interesting. Im starting to mod my WSM, so would like a bigger charcoal ring. I’ve seen a couple of other baskets but their all in the states... Hmm..

Smokin Monkey Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 A good fabricater should be able to make one of those, I would buy the grid at the bottom though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis69 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 I’ll ring round a few and see where I get to. with regards the grid, would you suggest a Weber spare part? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Yes a Weber Grill, or Homebase do them. I know they do a 57cm for around £8.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoogl Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Could you just use some steel mesh to make a ring to extend the height of the original? Edited June 4, 2019 by hoogl posted in wrong comment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts also...if only to give you ideas of what size of basket you do want/need?? a strip of expanded metal wired to the original basket??? Easy to cut and fix....https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Perforated-Steel-Stretched-Metal-Sheet-120-x-2-80mm-x-1m/p/116690?utm_source=google&scid=scplp116690&sc_intid=116690&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrdjnBRDXARIsAEcE5YkhOEMM6T2JVcxvrfv4rKwiQOt7I3IxPFO8B_Bp4bLeIQcybs5HYBEaArLNEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Ice.
