Experiment - Stainless Steel stock pot as charcoal 'basket'

I bought a cheap set of 4 stainless steel stock pots today for 20
bucks (20, 16, 12 and 8 gallon). I am thinking about
drilling/cutting some holes in one to experiment with it as
a 'charcoal basket'. I couldn't pass these things up and feel this
could be a good solution for me. Has anyone tried anything like this
or have any success/failure stories? Please let me know.

Thanks,

OB

I meant quart not gallon..

Any recommendations on cutting/drilling holes in this sucker. I guess I have some crappy drill bits b/c I could not get them to penetrate the pan bottom. I didn't try the pot's side because it is a bit softer metal and I thought I'd try from the bottom. I am probably heading to HD to buy some cobalt tipped bits and try to drill pilot holes.
