False bottom for small BIAB?

[MYR]

Hello,
I am looking for recommendation for a small false bottom for my biab setup.
I use a SS brewtech 5.5 gal kettle for mash and boil, and I was looking into something like this, but it’s too big for my kettle:

Any body has a good recommendation for something that would work well for me? Inside diameter is about 10”, and I need about 3” tall to clear the ball valve.
Thanks in advance!

I would call these guys.  I believe they fabricate false bottoms for the larger SS brewtech kettles.

+1 to Norcal. Depending on the diameter of your kettle, you might also check on cooling racks used for breads, cakes, etc. Whether you buy from them or elsewhere, Amazon is a good source for reference.

Norcal is great. They have custom sized false bottoms for several popular kettles. I would suggest a dip tube to go with it. Very happy with mine

Norcal have exactly what I was thinking about, made on purpose for my kettle!
Very nice! But... damn too expensive for me right now... :-(

 Amazon has a 10 inch rack for  pressure cookers with 2in legs on them(canning rack)

I was gonna saying canning rack bottom. should work fine if you are brewing with a bag.

And under $15 for  stainless

I do BIAB without a false bottom and the beer turns out fine.  I'm not sure why you think you need one if you're pulling the grain bag before mashing.
