So about 5 years ago I made some baskets to replace the original heat shields (see link).

Well those baskets are now rusted.
Also the drum has rusted through my neglect. This grill is only 8 years old.
How old is your grill and much rust does it grill have? I think lining the drum with aluminum
hid my problems....the aluminum didn't look bad.
Decide to make another basket and fix the drum. Got lazy this time and made one big basket
with thicker expanded metal instead of the three. The last baskets were made from thin stuff that I
bought from Home Depot. This time I got thicker stuff from a metal supply house.
Frame.
Heat shield.
Expanded metal.
Cut away all the rusted metal from drum and welded expanded metal to it.
Just need to season it, add the briquettes and done.
Might make a expanded metal cooking surface now. Probably make that in three pieces.
