Does the bottom of the basket need to be on the bottom ceramic ring of the fire bowl? The 1st picture shows it resting on the petals, not where the iron grate usually sits.
The second picture shows that the diverters or grill gates won’t fit on lower level ring on the divide and conquer. That can’t be right.
Sure, I can put the X-adapter on there and then use the upper level of the d&c, but that eliminates half of the functionality.
I’m not excited about having to take the petals out, put the basket in and reassemble around it. Is that the way it should be done? It seems the first time I’d take the basket out to shake it, the petals would just slide back down.

It doesn’t have to sit at the very bottom, no.
I need to buy an ash basket to replace the bottom iron grate that is disintegrating. Was wondering if you could just bend those “extensions” on the basket so grill plates will sit correctly on the D&C?
I bent 2 of mine works fine
I think I found a solution. I balanced the diverters on top of the tabs of the basket. This puts it closer to the grill on the first level d&c, but since that would be the indirect cooking side, I’ll just elevate it to level two and leave the direct fire sear grill on the first level.
