i will i am still figuring a cheaper way than the expanded metal that i found too much for some friggin metal, but i did score a good ash pan from home depot
i will post a pic after work
 
its coming along alot quicker than i thought it would but then again i have zero patients and want it done yesterday
 
The expanded metal was really nice. Take a small cut off wheel and mark the points you want it bent then just bend it over itself and use bolts and washers to secure. Check out my pic it has the basket i made for about 20.00 and it is going to outlast my drum

well i bought a piece 12 by 24 and its not big enough so i have to return it i guess paid 14 bucks for that, so i found the same size pieces at home depot for 9 apiece but i would have to bolt two pieces together sucks!!! i though about cutting it in half but would a 6 inch tall basket be big enough?
 
Check out my pic it has the basket i made for about 20.00 and it is going to outlast my drum

where i cant see your pic?
 
ok heres the charcoal pan i was talking about it is good sturdy metal and was in the cleaning supply's isle at home depot, might have to cut it down some or just drill holes in it for air
