I plan to use 4in pipe 100mm tall cut it down the middle to make it small enough to loosely fit inside and solder it with a copper bottom with heaps of small holes drilled.

As I have not yet made it I can't attest to it's function though

Haha so I should probably pay homage ^:)^ :clap:

As I've read and reread so many build threads I forget whose idea I'm going to rob lol

That's what I'm going to do! Just make sure you don't make the basket tall enough to cover the outlet :handgestures-thumbupleft:
