Save you money
I've never taken the time to actually count, but I'm willing to guess my dinner comes off my Weber grill 150-200 nights a year. I'm no grilling expert or chef by any means, but I do have experience. And I usually pass on buying the accessories. But I'm absolutely happy I spent the money on a charcoal basket. I've noticed myself using less charcoal to begin with, and also having more left over for the next time I grill. I've always been good at saving charcoal by shutting the grill down immediately after getting food off. For the most part, just throw a few new briquettes in the next time and you're good to go. Obviously we all have different grills and tendencies, so take that part however you wish. Is this some game changing accessory, of course not. It's a basket. But, it's a basket that I feel will save you money over time. Even if you're not good at saving charcoal, I still feel like you'll be using less to begin with. Even one of the baskets can keep a 22 inch Weber plenty hot. If you need more surface area for steaks or something then you have both sides. If you only grill occasionally, then it isn't going to do much other than look pretty. But if you're like me and grill on a regular basis then I almost guarantee it will save you money. I can't believe I've spent this much time talking about a basket. Just buy it, and thank me later.
