How big does the expanded metal need to be. I have a sheet of 8" wide x 44" long expanded metal. Would that be enough? Thanks guys.
Pat, Norcoredneck, uses the exact size you have there, in his great tutorial to make a round basket with a charcoal grate from a 18.5" kettle.

Mine doesn't go all the way around like norcos does for some reason. Does it matter?
My expanded steel didn't go all the way around the grate either. It attached the round basket to the grate with bailing wire.
