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

Fits perfectly and makes clean up very simple. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

Works great in my large Kamado Joe, heavy duty steel. Looks like it will last a long time.

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

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.

Worth the investment. High quality.

Excellent, well made and sturdy
