Why didn't I think of this?

From what I read the bottom plate is optional. I'm trying it both ways.
The bottom plate I'm thinking about holds the coal. Without it the fire wouldn't get air and wouldn't stay lit. My original cast iron one rusted away and I replaced it with something similar to the one you showed only smaller in diameter.

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.
