BIAB - Chucking hops in?

[Galena]

I currently boil in a bag and am generally happy with the process, I re-circulate and batch sparge and my efficiency is good. I am less happy though with my method of hop additions, tried muslin bags and they are easy to use but I can't help feeling I am losing something with the restriction of them.
I have tried adding the hops to the grain bag (after removing the grains) but the boiling process just pushes the bag up almost out of the water.
I am considering a stainless basket I assume 300 or 400 micron to add the hops to that, like brew in a basket but one that is full size seems unavailable and getting one custom built is probably excessively costly.
So I was wondering about just chucking the hop pellets in to the boil, my Klarstein Fullhorn has a false bottom but not sure how much of the hops that would catch, I have removed the bazooka as it was problematic, but how much hops will I end up with in the FV?

As you drain your klarsein into the FV just pass the wort flow through a seive. I've seen piccys of people doing this. I just 'jug' my wort into the no chill FV passing it through a seive. It catches most if not alll the the pellet debris

I might adopt this method, as im in agreement im not sure about using a bag for hops and getting scalded when trying to add more lol however is does seem to work well for dry hopping :)

I bought an edge mounting stainless type hop basket. This seems to do the job, and imparts proper bittering effects into the beer.

Actually I do that anyway as I have the funnel and filter, though it catches very little at the moment, I was thinking it might keep blocking the filter though with hops? Worth a try though for sure.

Do you think there is any difference between using a hop basket and having them free in the wort? Do yopu up the hop bill on a recipe or leave as is?

I've found no noticeable difference. I place the basket just off to the side of the kettle element, so the rolling boil tends to travel up and through it. I've found in the past that hops free to float in the kettle all tend to end up at the top opposite the element anyway, so I suspect having them corralled just above the element will offset the effects of restricting them.
