Kick Ash Basket stands out because it’s made from AISI 304 stainless steel, not the lower-grade AISI 204 used by many other baskets and cans. This makes it more durable, heat-resistant and better suited for long-term use in high-temperature environments like Kamado grills. Each basket is perfectly welded without seams, which greatly reduces the risk of cracks or breaks over time. It’s built to last and perform, cook after cook.

No, using Kick Ash Basket products does not affect the warranty of your Kamado grill. All Kick Ash items are aftermarket accessories designed to fit safely and function properly without modifying your Kamado. They do not interfere with the structure or operation of the grill, so your manufacturer’s warranty remains valid.

Replacing the original ash drawer of your Kamado Joe with a Kick Ash Can offers several advantages. It allows for better airflow, which means more oxygen for a hotter and more efficient burn. It is also much more convenient because you avoid the frustration of ash trays getting stuck when sliding them out. The can makes it easier to remove ash cleanly and keeps your grill area tidier. Overall, it improves both performance and ease of use.

The divider is useful because it allows you to create two heat zones in your grill. This makes it easy to cook with indirect heat on one side and direct heat on the other, perfect for reverse searing or grilling different types of food at the same time. It also helps you save charcoal when you’re only cooking a smaller portion.

We recommend using natural lump charcoal of restaurant quality. It’s free from additives and burns cleaner, which is better for both your food and your grill. Look for a mix that includes some smaller pieces for quick ignition, but mainly large chunks to ensure steady heat, a long burn time and consistent airflow. This type of charcoal is perfect for low and slow cooks as well as high-temperature grilling in a Kamado.

Yes, you can absolutely reuse leftover charcoal. After cooking, simply shake your Kick Ash Basket to separate the ash from the usable charcoal. The ash falls into the Kick Ash Can, making cleanup easy and leaving the good pieces behind. Add some fresh charcoal on top and you’re ready for the next cook. We call it Recycoal.

Absolutely! You should always shake your ashes before you light your fire. It just makes everything go faster and easier.
