onlyfireContoured Stainless Steel Char-Basket Charcoal Briquet/Charcoal Fuel Holder for 57-67cm Kettle Grill

UPDATESince I originally bought mine these are now being made to have an open bottom, which in my opinion is a step backwards, so my review is no longer valid. I still maintain my 5 star review of the original design ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ORIGINAL REVIEWGreat product! Charcoal burns extremely efficiently. Built like a tank. Cheap as chips (especially when compared to its rival). Perfect for cooking indirectly and then finishing over direct coals. Can smoke for hours or grill in seconds. Steak is amazing. I use lump wood but I think briquettes would block the air holes as they produce a lot of ash. Don't think about it, just buy it. Far better than using two small charcoal baskets. Wish this was available years ago.

Well made and good value, the base does clog up though so be mindful of that. I will bore the holes out like another reviewer has done as when they clog it can make your cook go off piste if you are cooking at a higher temp.For the money V SnS it's worth it.

I've used this a few times now for indirect cooking and the coals have lasted a very long time, it gets very hot aswell so ideal for normal bbqing if you wanted, it would replace the 2 weber baskets easily.Just remember to fill the water trough before the coals get too hot otherwise it gets V steamy when you try to add it later and spits water.Would have preferred the water trough on the flat edge but guessing there's a reason for it not being like that.

Honestly, I purchased this item half expecting to send it back, because I didn’t think the quality at this price would be good enough. I was wrong. The quality of the welds look very good with the vertical sections seam welded, while the bottom is spot welded to the bottom of the sides. I haven’t used the item yet to see if the welds hold up to the heat of a an 8-10 hour cook, but I expect they will. The water chamber is a little narrow but I’m used to topping up the water when I open the lid to check everything is ok anyway, so I’m not disappointed. I was going to purchase the American version of this for somewhere around£100 when it’s available in the U.K. again, so I’m super happy to have found this for a quarter of the cost.

I bought this product some months ago, and I have to say it so much more efficient than the weber's two baskets.But the quality could be improved, as seen in the picture it's coming apart, they could do better welding.

The basket would get 5 stars if it wasn't for a critical flaw in it's design. Namely, the holes in the base are far too small.It's not immediately obvious, but when you compare this basket to the expensive branded version you notice the holes in the base are far smaller in this version.This creates two problems:1. Insufficient airflow to the coals. I struggled to get the temperature much higher than 225F because there simple isn't enough airflow getting through the grate to the coals.2. The grate is blocked by spent ash, which cannot fall through the small gaps. Meaning the BBQ will burn itself out with a quarter of the fuel left unburnt! This has happened 3 times now!It's deeply frustrating when you're trying for a low & slow cook and you're having to open the lid every hour to push the ash through the holes and rearrange the remaining coals.Obviously the grate can be modified if you've got the tools, and I'll try that before I cook with it again.

If there is a single accessory to buy for your weber 57 kettle, this has to be it.Perfect fit, easily hold a full chimney and wood.Set it up for pizza cooking. Full chimney of lit coals, few chunks of oak. Left it 10 mins to preheat. Temp was maxed out.Preheated pizza stone in house oevn for 30mins. Propped it up on opposite side of charcoal.Cooked pizzas in 4 mins each. Unbelievable wood fired taste.Can't wait to try out ribs, brisket with this item.As said in other comments, if you're into the snake method of cooking. You need this item. So easy to use.Would highly recommend this seller! 5*****

Quality construction and fits 57cm grill properly. Have been using in Weber Performer Deluxe. When wanting to reposition over the Weber's gas ignition the absence of a bottom can be a bit annoying especially when using charcoal but not really a major issue. I recommend the product and find it more practical and a better quality product for indirect cooking than the dual baskets that came with the Weber.
