I'm guessing if your basket is 13" high (probably 12"). Your dia is a 13" weber grate.
I'd suggest for more even cooking edge to edge/all around. And more height to hang. Make a weber 17" coal grate basket with 6" high sides. 3" high legs/bolts. If I remember right you can cut your expanded metal sides in half and have enough for the 17" grate. Mine will run 17+ hrs at 300*. So you should never run out and need to reload.
Adding your meat before you get tbs (thin blue smoke, or less). You can be having your coals get to wet before they can really get going causing a much longer time to come to temp and adding the cook time. If that makes sense. Alot of time.
Pre-brined meats have alot more water to cook out. Again more cook time.
