Thanks for sharing this experiment with all of us. I was figuring to just use the grate and flip the fish once during the cook. When I don't feel like using the hooks I just set the meat on the cooking grate for a worry free cook and I get darn good results cause the cooking grate is in the "Sweet Spot" of the PBC........

Just my 2 cents worth, but if you would go to Wally World buy a few cheap cooking racks and make a basket I think you would have a winner.

Here is one I made for meatloaf, it is used in TBE

I could easily cook the fish on the grate but there's no fun in taking the easy route. LOL!!

There you go, use a fish basket and hang it from the rod.
