Yes, it is entirely possible to remove it. One of the most useful items I own is a basket. There's a lot more airflow around the coals now, and cleaning up is a lot easier. This is a product that I would not hesitate to purchase.
The handle can be found. Take the basket out with two hands, shake it to remove all ash, clean the grill base, and replace it. It's the most amazing thing they've ever created. It's a breeze to clean up. Furthermore, the grill has a much better breathability.
Yes, you can use our charcoal ash basket with a plate setter.
Mine is 15 inches wide at the bottom and 21 inches wide at the top.
Selected User Reviews For Mydracas Lump Charcoal Fire Basket with Divider Big Green Egg Accessories,Stainless Steel Grill Ash Baskets for The Large Big Green Egg,Kamado Joe Classic
The standard Kamado Joe firebox is surprisingly good. A circular cast iron plate with numerous holes drilled in it sits at the bottom of the firebox. The ash from the fire falls through these holes into an ash container beneath the plate that can be removed. When everything has cooled down after a cook, all you have to do now is stir the remaining cold coals around to let the ash dust fall off, then try to push as much ash dust through the holes in the bottom plate as possible. Because the plate holes also serve as an air intake for the fire, small pieces of coal frequently get caught in the holes and must be removed. br>br>The Lump Charcoal Fire Basket with Divider makes the process a lot easier. I started by removing all of the charcoal from the firebox, then used the opportunity to clean it. Then I snatched up the cast iron plate and stowed it away. The fire basket fits perfectly in the firebox, and the divider transforms the Divide and Conquer 2- into a Divide and Conquer 3. Because all of the charcoal is contained on one side of the pit, zone cooking grills are even more efficient. Because of the basket's design, there appears to be more air circulation, making it easier to light the coals. It's possible that more efficient combustion will reduce the amount of charcoal used, but I can't guarantee it. From the few cooks I've done with it, it appears to be that way. When the coals are cool enough to handle, I remove the basket and shake it over my ash bucket, which happens to be a perfect fit. There may be a dusting of ash on the ceramic sides of the firebox depending on what I used for fuel during the cook. If there's a lot of dust, I simply sweep it down into the removable ash collector with a soft brush. The basket is then placed back into the firebox, ready for the next cook. It takes far less than two minutes to complete the process. br>br>The Lump Charcoal Fire Basket with Divider has a substantial weight to it and appears to be well constructed. I'm glad I bought it because it makes cooking on the Kamado Joe even more enjoyable. I anticipate using it for many years.
5 times per week is the minimum. It works great, a few smallish pieces get thrown in, but it's all good. The middle part only lays inside and doesn't clip or connect anywhere; it just has two sorta grooves it fits into, and it's not very stable. When it comes to ads, S**t make clean up easier since s**t saved a lot of wood and lump charcoal, using it when I want less food than 3lb and may even use it for an extra steak if we have a big family gathering uch. But that isn't a problem at all. It also doesn't seem to work when it's 65 degrees outside. So I'm guessing there's some strange tension going on. This isn't a complaint, just a thought. I'm completely satisfied with the product; if I cleaned it right now, it would still look brand new; it's been sitting in my grill for months and has never been cleaned, but when I wipe it with my gloves on, it's perfectly clean and gleaming beneath the ashes; I assume that's how it would look all over with a little elbow grease. I like it 5*(stars) I'll buy another one if I screw this one up and let it sit outside and rust or something, but as far as I can tell it's in great shape. It's well protected from moisture, which I'm sure is a big part, but as far as I can tell this is a once in a lifetime purchase that will last long after even my grill cracks and breaks.
This has been in my possession for three months, and I've already put it to good use. It works perfectly and makes ash cleanup a breeze. It also helped with my BGE airflow. I'm much more in control of my temperature now than I was before I used the fire basket. Heavy-duty and of excellent quality. I've done several high-heat cooks (650 degrees) and haven't noticed any negative effects on the basket.
This was a perfect fit for my xl bge. I despise tampering with the ash, as do we all. It's no longer a problem for me. Even with used charcoal, reaching 650 degrees is simple, which I had previously struggled with. A new grate is expensive, too. Mine were all shattered to begin with. I'm also a big fan of the divider. This is a purchase you will not be sorry for.
This Stainless Steel basket was ordered so that I could keep the charcoal on one side of my Big Green Egg while using indirect heat on the other, and it accomplishes that goal. It's well-designed and made of stainless steel, and I expect it to last a long time. When I saw that it was made by a small, independently owned company, I knew it would be exactly what I was looking for, and I was right as soon as I took it out of the box. It will fit into the bottom of my Large Size B bag. and has already yielded some deliciously tender Pork Steaks. Don't be hesitant to buy one of these baskets made in the United States.
This is a good alternative to the standard grate if you fill your firebox to the brim for each long cook - When I fill mine, there's usually a lot of lump left over - I pull the basket out of the oven, shake it over a 5-gallon bucket, and the rest is ready for the next cook. I also keep my lump in a nearby shed, so I take the basket there and fill it there instead of lugging bags or bins full of lump back and forth. br>br>The construction is sturdy, and I anticipate that it will last for many years. If it falls apart after that, I'll know I've gotten my money's worth and will go out and buy another.
It's too big for KJBJII. There are far too many coals on the fire. I finally settled on a stainless steel grate, which works flawlessly.
Definitely well constructed; my main concern was that it wouldn't fit in the Kamado Joe Classic 2, but rest assured, it does. I would strongly advise you to use the divider, as I did. It's a fantastic purchase, and I adore it.
