Kamado JoeStainless Steel Charcoal Basket Grill Accessory to Create Multiple Cook Zones for All Classic Joe 18-inch Charcoal Grill and Smokers, Model KJ-MCC23

I was having trouble with the kamado Joe stock cast iron charcole grate not letting enough air into the fire chamber.The kamado Joe coal basket makes a big difference in fire breathability and clean up. I'm now getting good, clean burns on my charcoal and nice blue smoke.Fit is a little tall, but I always put my heat deflectors on the second level anyway, so not an issue for me.As the other reviews have noted, this basket is very well built & heavy duty.

Funciona Bien, Permite dividir las Zonas de Calor , construcción Robusta, Facilita la limpieza de las cenizas, en general Buen producto

We bought Kamado Joe Classic 2 years ago and spent a lot of time, lot of charcoal and of course lot of money to get the temperature we needed to grill. We found out about this basket on the internet and since buying it, our Kamado Joe grill is the best summer item we have. It is extremely easy to get the fire and wanted temperature in a significantly shorter time with several times less charcoal. So, much better grilling experience with significantly lower price and lower CO2 footprint as well. Highly recommended, even if it is kind of expensive. According to our experience, this basket should be integral part of Kamado Joe Classic grill, even if it could make it more expensive. Or, at least, uppon buying Kamado Joe Classic it should be recommended to complete our grill with it because it is definitely worth buying.

Handy device for your Joe!I was indecisive whether to buy this one, or a cheaper version. Glad I went for this. Build quality is great, it’s quite a hefty weighted basket, hopefully that means it’ll last!It comes with a divider to help you bank your coals where you want them.Easy to install and fit into place, and super easy to clean to keep your airflow on point!

I have a KJ Classic 2 (I'll write a review, last one Amazon failed to accept it and I lost the page. That'll teach me to do a long and detailed review...)Anyway, the Classic 3 comes with this basket. the Classic 2 doesn't and has a cast-iron circular grate at the bottom of the firebox.This is superior, and one of the first upgrades to do especially if you do low and slow cooking as you get more air, and ashes fall down more easily.This is built like a tank, super heavy, and impressive. And this rapidly looks really old, as the temp of the fire gets a lot of the shine away...Pros: improved airflow, easier to shake, easy to move all coals (lift the basket) to make some space to go clean up the ashes.Cons: expensive, and any small bit of charcoal (yes, even quality lump charcoal has some small chunks, plus the big blocks you burn become small as they are consumed) fall through. So this might waste a bit of charcoal.
