Hate to admit this… the cast iron grate had rusted to the the Kick Ash basket. Ordered a new basket. Do I need a new grate? Would I be ok with the rusty grate? Or do I go with the basket alone?

    You don’t need the grate. You’ll get much better airflow without it.

    basket alone. My basket has become a small shelf on the nest crossbars. I keep my ceramic top there.

    Cast iron grates are over rated in my opinion. I love my old KA Baskets which themselves are iron and not SS. Whenever they rust before I do then I will buy new SS KA baskets!
