Chargriller Duo charcoal basket mods?

[ghunt]

Hey guys, I have a chargriller duo with the added on smoker box. Love it, but the charcoal grate in the smoker box is looking rough from the high temps, plus too much charcoal falls off the edges.

Was curious as to what you guys have done to improve the charcoal basket. I have a sheet of 16 gauge stainless punched plate that I think would work great for this if I form it into a basket with some reinforcement. I'm pretty handy with a welder so I'm not afraid to tackle anything.

I have the same setup, and here is a link for a basket I made. Hope it helps.
