What Customers Are Saying
The Charcoal Basket is a well-made accessory that improves the performance and convenience of Kamado-style grills. Users praise its excellent build quality, increased airflow, and ease of cleaning. The basket helps save charcoal by allowing reuse of unburnt pieces, and the divider feature facilitates indirect cooking. However, some customers note the basket may not fit perfectly with the Divide & Conquer rack, and the wide grate spacing can cause small charcoal pieces to fall through, requiring more cleanup. Overall, the Charcoal Basket is considered a valuable accessory that enhances the grilling experience for most users.

I bought this for my classic and I’m not impressed. The basket sits too high to use the divide plates when cooking indirect. The basket needs to be removed and the cast iron grate at the bottom replaced to cook indirect. Also, grates and inner ring have to be removed to shake the coals in basket. Waste of money!!

Would RecommendA must have. A significant upgrade from the OEM setup. It comes with a divider which enhances your ability for smaller fires and more delicate cooks.

Charcoal Basket & the Ceramic Reflectors
The basket is nice but if I use it, I cannot use my ceramic reflectors. Seems there was an oversight here in design. Easy answer was to redesigning your ceramic reflectors to accomodate this basket augmentation.

The Kamado Joe Big Joe is a Big Hit!!
Would RecommendI had a Komatsu style grille before and it was Ok, but the Kamado Joe is next-level! It’s like comparing a Toyota to a Lexus, they are both excellent cars but the fit and finish and touches of the Lexus make it stand out and so it is with these grilles. The online buying experience was also excellent with frequent updates as to the status of the order and setup of the delivery. This is a HUGE heavy grille so make sure you have help to place it! Zero regrets and I’m not sure what else I would put...

Still figuring it out
Would RecommendBought BJ in late April or early May. I've cooked on it at lest once per week. Some weeks several cooks. I'm having difficulty keeping the Temps in range with the basket but it's a learning curve. I'm getting a feel for it the more I cook.

Makes cleaning my grill and saving useable so easy

Great basket
Would RecommendThere is so much airflow to the charcoal it unbelievable. Just pick it up a little and shake. All the ash and very small pieces fall apart to the ash pan. Definitely worth the cost.

Great accessory but it rusted very quickly
Would RecommendOne of those "must have" accessories if I do say so myself. Helps with loading charcoal, increased airflow, and helping with reuse of charcoal that is not fully consumed in a cook. My only issue with it, is that after only about a year of cooking the entire basket is a rusted mess. I was expecting stainless steel to be a bit more resilient. Makes me wonder about longevity. Perhaps this corrosion is normal given the high temps in the Kamado.
