Maybe not!

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.
