Kick Ash BasketStainless Steel Charcoal Ash Basket, Fits Kamado Joe Grill, Classic Joe

A must have for kamado Joes or Green eggs!

Cleaning the fire box on my Kamado Joe was never fun. It was a pain getting out the small pieces of charcoal that remained. I was watching a video on cooking and saw the Kamado Joe owner used one of these baskets and decided to give it a try.It is a perfect fit into my Kamado Joe classic. You do have to do some disassembly, but that also gave me a chance to get the shop vac out and do some cleaning. Now that I have it installed it is super easy to give it a shake (or a stir) and both the ash and small pieces drop into the ash collection tray. Just add more charcoal and you are ready to roll!.I did read some reviews that noted you have to relearn your vent settings for temperature, and I have found that to be somewhat the case. It isn't as different as I expected, but it does allow a lot more airflow.Overall this is a great addition to my grill. Super happy I did it.

This is a great add-on. My only problem with it is that the handles are too close to the edge of the fire ring. It makes it hard to get it in and out.

I don't write a lot of reviews, but this is worth it. I know it is just a simple basket, but it is a game change for my Akorn grill. My grill doesn't normally allow enough air flow around the sides and I couldn't get proper searing temps. This completely solves my issue and makes cleaning and coal changes sooo much easier. It's heavy duty stainless and should easily last me a lifetime.

I seriously love this thing. Having the Kick Ash in my grill has not only made cleanup super easy it has also improved my airflow. Having this has prevented those pesky ash buildups and has helped in keeping my temps consistent for long hours. My only complaint is that the asking price is quite high although not as high as KJ’s first party basket. Overall great buy and I’m glad I got it.
