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.
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.
Yeah.. I thought that would be cool for people that wanted to try smoking on occasion.Isn't the trio just the duo with the firebox added? Sold as a package rather than having to add the firebox?
Paid $109.00 dollars at Wally World. With what we saved we bought the smoking box and the cover.I stopped by Academy Sports the other day and saw the Char-Griller Duo sitting there. I was wondering if anyone has seen one of these in action? It is a gas grill on the left and charcoal on the right. It needs some mods and is set up already to accept the SFB. I read some posts I found on a search for it on other sites and they seem to like it.
