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

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.

More expensive than the other choices available but you will see and feel the difference as soon as you open the box. Very high quality-I highly recommend this for your KJ grill

Awesome addition. Makes clean up and controlling heat zone much easier

Heavy duty, in this case you definitely get what you pay for! Spend a little extra and don't settle for the off brand.

If you own a Kamado grill that this basket will fit, you will absolutely love this basket. First install a kick ash or similar pan to catch the ashes. Then put this basket over it. After you have finished your cook and your coals are cold, simply pick up the basket a few inches and shake it up and down. The ashes will fall into the basket and the side of the kamado. Then gently remove the basket so as to not cause leftover charcoal to fall out of the basket. Now all that you have to do is, with a small broom or brush, sweep the ashes into the ash pan, empty the pan and then return the ash pan and the basket and your done with the cleanup. I know you will love this product. I always use the basket divider as I have yet to find a need to use a complete full basket of charcoal. I use my kamado 2 to 4 times a week, year round, except in really bad weather. I highly recommend this product.

Quit scraping your fingers across the stock cast iron grate in hopes of getting enough air to properly ignite your charcoal. Do it already. This thing is great. Chunk the stock grate in the trash and feel good about it. Don’t look back.

I am new to Kamado grilling but in my humble opinion this is a not an optional accessory. It is so useful for airflow and multi-zone cooking that it's a little surpising (and annoying) that it does not come as standard equipment. Be that as it may, like the rest of the Kamado Joe, it is very solidly built and should last years and years. If you just got your grill you need to order this and the cover.

Excellent, well made and sturdy

Very sturdy original Kamado basket fitting my classic Kamado Joe II as expected. This will definitely enhance the heat flow. Good value for a great piece of kit.

Ottimo resistente e fatto bene

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.
