Not sure I'm following, but there have been things like this around for quite some time:Even Steven Raichlen has a version:And this is similar to the one my Grandparents had for their pot-belly stove:I would think something like the above would work just fine - no need to reinvent the wheel!!Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup... Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee

Sorta like this? http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/545812909/stainless_steel_fire_baskets.html
The egg is going to be hot as hell and takes forever to cool. But it doesn't get so hot you can't transport it with in a pickup bed.

The egg is going to be hot as hell and takes forever to cool. But it doesn't get so hot you can't transport it with in a pickup bed.That could work, but he'd still need someplace to put that ring, which is where my suggestions come into play. If it were me, I'd just bypass the ring since it's acting like a "middle man" anyway, and just scoop out the hot coals into a metal bucket.But either way, the Egg itself is still gonna take some time to cool down - it's not like the second he gets the last coal out, the Egg will magically be room temp! :-?Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.

If it were me, I'd just dump the excess lump out on the ground and extinguish with my portable beer-driven fire extinguisher.

Lots of ways to "abuse" alcohol....I'm siding with Smokey the Bear and using it as an excuse to take the "ab" out of "abuse"....

Yeah, I was talking about a basket that goes inside the Egg which would contain the lump during the whole cooking process. I know that the ceramic holds the heat (that's what we love about our Eggs) and that it would not cool in a New York minute like a metal grill, but getting the hot coals out quickly starts the cooling process quickly. I have been scooping out the coals, but I was wondering if there was a better way. Then I thought about a basket.
One of the places we take our small to is my Mom's who lives in a pretty nice neighborhood. I'm pretty sure portable beer-driven fire extinguishing is either against local ordinances or at the very least a serious breach of the Homeowner's Association Rules.

I have wanted to do the same thing for years. Here is one that I have kicked around: http://www.greeneggers.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&func=view&id=598925&catid=1# Edit: looks like most of the photos were removed. You sort of get an idea though.

I recently learned that at the University of Oregon "Duck" football games, charcoal bbq's are not allowed tailgating any longer due to folks dumping out their ash's. on the ground.

I got it. Make a basket out of some expanded steel. I used expanded steel for my shop mezzanine - it's strong and cheap. Just need to make a hoop and add a bottom. Should be pretty simple for a novice welder, and you can cut the stuff about 10 different ways (bolt cutters, jig saw, sawzall, die grinder, grinder, oxy-actylene, plasma, wire cutters, etc.).
