Grilling veggies. What yall use?

I use the basket in the 2nd photo, but it is so rusty it bothers me. I may try the basket in the first photo.

Another for the 2nd basket and don't use it much. I usually just quarter or maybe half the veggies depending on original size or intended use and then cut again once grilled.

I use a lodge cast iron grill topper. It's a pain to clean, though. I usually try to burn everything off of it. Every now and then I pressure wash it then reseason.

I'm on a BGE, but I use a stainless griddle insert for fajita style veggies and meat most of the time, now. I do have a grill "basket" that works if I need to be cooking something else simultaneously on the grate therefore not allowing me to put the flat top insert in.

I have a Smittys carbon pan that I put on a hot part of the grill and it does amazing veggies. A little olive oil and drop em in.

I have a couple trays similar to the bottom pic of the OP's post.

They work great for stuff like green beans, asparagus, okra, etc. that can slip through the grates.

I did a dozen kebabs last night and didn't lose anything since all the stuff was skewered, although the end vegetables did try to slip away a few times as they got cooked.

I use those and one of these to smoke deer jerky on my Pitboss.

I use this grill basket. Got it from Amazon. It is stainless and so far I have had no rust issues.

As mentioned, carbon steel works too, but just use a cast iron or carbon steel pan on top of the grill. Use stuff you already have. Carbon steel is obviously going to be easier to move the veggies around without a utensil.

Problem was I lost about 1/4 to the grate spaces. Yall... have a better solution?

Cut them larger so they don't fall through the grate, then slice them smaller after cooking.

Or spend money on that contraption.
