I put a disc coulter blade in the bottom and pour my coals on it to keep it off the bottom, when im ready to go again, ive got a piece of small expanded metal and a bucket that I recycle into,, cuts down on the dollars and the ash/un-burnt coals in the corners of the yard !!

Man, dont worry bout getting cross with me. I'm open for suggestions, sounds like you've got it figured out. My grill want seal off tite enough to smother my fire. Maybe I could line the seams with something like they put on wood stove doors?

yes that will work great, at the fireplace stores they also have a tube of sealant that you put on the cracks or pipes/ducts.... cant remember but its red and goes by a number not a name.... that would be good to lay a small bead down to stick the felt. now you might want to burn it off one good time before you cook on it, might even want to test a small piece before you go the full monte ...... it doesn't smell or smoke on a fireplace but I aint cookin $9 dolla a lb beef steaks on it either !!
