somebody shut me the fark up.
Just curious what you'd cook @ 325* that would take 8-10 hours, Maybe...maybe 8 but surely not 10 hours.
Go a wider basket like 15-17" x 5-6" deep, that would be as big as my 007 basket and I know that would work.

Probably would not need that long. Usually I cook pork butts at 300-325 and it takes around 5-6 hours. I wanted to over stretch than under. To make a 17*6 how much expanded metal would be needed and do you attach it to a Weber charcoal grate? I use a pizza pan for ashes. Just curious am I right with my times on two 8 pound butts at 300-325 to cook in six hours? Thanks as always

Taking one of these and cutting it in half for 6" high sections to wrap around a Weber 22.5 charcoal grate (around 17" diameter") you would come up a few inches short so you would need 2 packages. Maybe you could find a better deal on expanded steel somewhere but this is what I used for my last basket.

#9 expanded metal. The sheets at HD here are 1'X2'. You will need 2 sheets. Some metal safety wire, or bolts. Easy to bend/shape around a pole/fence. Wire your 17" Weber grate 4" up from the bottom. Use an plastic bucket handle. Ash pan if you want. I don't use one any more as I need some ash after some cooks to absorb the grease that went outside the basket and is in the bottom of the drum. I use a small broom/dust pan to clean my drum out. I did not like having to dump ash with the basket/coals attached. Or just dumping ash from the unattached pan. Less mess with the broom/dust pan.

If I had a UDS or a WSM 22.5 I'd want the Hunsaker Vortex Fire Basket, they're not cheap but it always gets great reviews.
