I thought about taking it out, dumping the grain and using it for hops but I would need to get it out of the way when it's time for my immersion chiller. It only takes a few minutes to dump the grain and rinse off.
Why? Drop the chiller in at the last 15 minutes for sanitation and chill with the larger basket in situ. I don't see any reason that wouldn't work. The biggest issue there is making sure you get all the grain out of the basket between mash and boil.
