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

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

Worked as advertised. Good value for the money.

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

Built like a tank

Double thick bottom wires will resist corrosion, I suspect forever. Replaces cast iron plate with holes which can clog with charcoal. Captures all the lump charcoal in one easy to shake out ash basket. It does weigh a lot [which means heavy duty wire].

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.

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.

Took a star off for the price. Like everything Kamado Joe it has to be expensive. It works really well and i like the divider if you want to cook one just one side of the grill this will help a lot. If you are using the JoeTisserie and want to isolate your heat to the back this will definitely do the trick. It seems very sturdy as well. I had debated between this and the Ki** a** basket and chose this because of the divider. No regrets. I did remove the built in bottom piece on the classic Joe 2 as others have said. I see no need for it with the basket.
