Been thinkin. Why does not someone make an expanded metal basket that sits in the bottom of the egg. Just lift ouy and shake then return.

chuckls,
fancy looking sifter there, dude! I was trying to see what part of a Corvette you made that from!!!
I actually use a more simple approach - a few quick stirs with my Lawn Ranger grill lifter and the used lump is ready to go. OTOH I have a simple piece of 1/2" hardware cloth - about a 2 x 3 piece - which I merely put on the ground and pour my lump when the bag is getting down low. A couple quick shakes and the dust and tiny pieces fall thru. I then pour the rest back into my coal bucket. (For those younger folk a coal bucket is an ideal item for a BGE. It is oval in shape and one side is higher like a snout so you can easily pour your lump in vs throwing it in. Antiques are available but hey I bought a brand new galvanized one at a local seed store for 12 bucks and I'll never use anything but the coal bucket.

chuckls,[p]I like your idea. Another idea is that if you have a restaurant supply store in your area, you can buy a Chinese wok scoop. There are various sizes, and I bought one that is about five inches in diameter. I use it to scoop thru all the old lump. It lifts the useable chunks out and lets the ash and little stuff fall to the bottom. I dump the good chunks in a bucket, clean out the remnants, toss the old stuff back in, and I'm good to go.[p]Paul

Jose',
Good point.[p]I stir and stir like a freak grinding the ash and little bits thru the fire grate.[p]...also, i was thinking of making a basket for the large which would hold the lump up higher, closer to the grill, for searing steaks, etc.[p]I wonder if the radiant heat of the lump at 800 degrees matters much if it's closer to the meat or down low...[p]but it seemed that getting the lump up closer might save lump and give a great sear
