Chicken wire?

[bluewhisper]

I'm just wondering if anyone here uses chicken wire - err, poultry netting - as some kind of grate, or on a grate.

I got a 25-foot roll and I only needed 15 feet, so now I have an extra ten feet of wire and I'm wondering if it couold be of any use with a grill or smoker.

The fifteen feet I used will support tomato vines.

i think i saw somewhere someone using something like chicken wire on top of a charcoal chimney to cook a couple steaks. kind of make shift grill. you could play with that but if you have a grill I'm not sure why you would want to. Just what comes to mind on a slow Friday before a holiday!

Happy Smoking,

All the chicken wire I have ever seen was Galvanized,if you have SS wire it would be okay or

Grow a few more mater plants

That's what I thought, there must be a reason why no one here mentions using it. No such thing as a zinc rub.

Sure there is, but you only do it once!

The above was a joke folks.... :biggrin:

Like Richie said, use it for tomato towers or make a rabbit hutch and raise a few!

I think I'll try using a square of it as a lump charcoal sifter. Build a simple frame from 2x6 scraps, staple some wire onto that, and have a sifter box that lets the dust and crumbles fall through. It might be handy for garden soil, too.

That's a very good plan!
