I have never even given it a thought.
I only take the basket out when i am prepping for a cook.
That usually entails dumping the basket onto a plastic sheet so i can put fresh charcoal in the bottom of the basket, then the already burned stuff on top once i get it back in the cooker.
If any drops, i use my opposable thumb capabilities to re-acquire the rouge pieces and put them into the basket.
I do not see a need to modify.
