Style

Designed exclusively for the Kamado Joe Big Joe and other 24-inch ceramic grills, this basket features a tapered fit (18.9" top / 12.2" bottom) that locks securely into the firebox.
Unlike universal baskets that shift or rattle during cooking, this one sits firmly in place.

True 2-Zone Cooking Made Effortless
Stop wasting charcoal trying to control heat zones manually.
The built-in divider creates two independent cooking areas in seconds—one for high-heat searing, one for low-and-slow smoking.
Sear steaks on one side while gently smoking brisket or vegetables on the other—without heat bleeding across.

Faster Ignition, Cleaner Burn, More Control
Tired of uneven heat or struggling to keep temperature steady?
The open mesh structure allows maximum airflow around every piece of charcoal, improving ignition speed and burn efficiency.
Whether you're smoking at 225°F or firing up a 700°F pizza cook, temperature stays more stable and responsive.

Easy Clean-Up 
Cleaning your firebox shouldn’t be a chore.
Once cooled, simply lift and shake the basket inside the grill—ash falls through while usable charcoal stays in place.

Built for Serious Grillers – Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel
Made from commercial-grade stainless steel, this basket is built to handle full loads of lump charcoal without bending, warping, or rusting.

Minimax fit

Fits my big green egg Minimax fairly well

Mostly fits the joe jr

This will fit the kamado joe junior. You will need to watch how you orient the basket or it interfere with the internals for the grid and deflector plates... but proper placementwill become second nature. I do not have an ash can, so I'm not sure if it's compatible.

Fits the Kamado Joe JR

I was looking for a basket and the Kick Ash ones are simply over priced for what they are. This one was almost half the price of the Kick Ash and fits the Junior perfectly. I was worried about the height of the handles but they're fine under the heat deflector. Definitely recommend if you have a KJ Junior.

Cheaper alternative to expensive name brand

So this is a review for only fire Barbecue steel basket for charcoal. I bought the big one, and it fits my Kamado Big Joe grill. It comes with a divider for the charcoal. It fits on the bottom of my grill or hangs on the divide and conquer system. I haven't had much chance to use it, so I'll update this review if it is less then 5 stars later. I have wanted one for awhile and finally took the plunge.

Great price, solid construction and works very well.

I was concerned about the quality of this product since it's nearly half the cost of the other options. KAB and the KJ ash basket. This product so far exceeds my expectations. I will provide updates if I have any issues but the weight and quality of this product seem great. Couldn't be happier. It is made in China but when it comes to this stuff what isn't. Fits perfect in my big joe. Divider included.

Happy with purchase

Very easy to install. Makes short work of ash removal before addition of new lump charcoal. Divider is a nice touch and easy to remove for smoking.

Best upgrade for Kamodo grill

I bought this for my Kamodo Joe Jr, it fit perfectly and made a world of difference for me. This is a no brainer, basically required for anyone with a KJ.

This should have come with Komoto Joe Jr.

If you have a Komoto Joe Jr. you need this, makes removing unburnt charcoal so much easier.

Excellent Upgrade for Kamado Joe Jr C Easier Cleanup & Better Airflow

I didn't realize how much I needed this ash basket until I got it. The only fire #8567 Charcoal Basket fits perfectly in my Kamado Joe Jr and has made both grilling and cleanup significantly easier.Pros: Perfect Fit: This basket is custom-designed for the Joe Jr and drops right in without any issues. No modifications needed. Improved Airflow: The open grid design allows for much better airflow, which means faster ignition and more consistent temps during cooks. Easy Ash Removal: Just lift it out by the handles and shake no more digging around with an ash tool or scooping blindly. Durable Build: Made from thick stainless steel, it feels solid and built to last. No warping even after high-heat sessions. Handles Are a Big Plus: The integrated handles make it easy to lift and dump, even when it's still warm.Cons: No Divider: If you like to bank coals to one side, you'll have to DIY a divider or buy a separate one. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting.Final Thoughts:This is a must-have upgrade for any Kamado Joe Jr owner. It improves airflow, makes ash cleanup a breeze, and feels like it'll last for years. One of those simple accessories that makes a big difference. Highly recommend!

easy to use and less messy

Picked this basket up for my Kamado Joe Jr. I can't live without one of these. I also have one for my Classic. They make the next cook so much easier because I always have a lot of charcoal leftover from the last cook. I just shake it in the lawn of garden, rake the ashes into a bag with the rake tool and put this basket with the charcoal back into the Kamado. Add a little extra lump to the basket to replace what was used up on the last cook and light my fire. Very easy

Sturdy and thick just like more expensive options

I got a Kamado Joe Jr to compliment my Classic Joe. On my Classic the one accessory I couldn't live without was a charcoal basket but there was no way I was going to spend another $80+ on my Joe Jr Thankfully, I was recommended this onlyfire brand and ordered their charcoal basket and I've been surprised by the quality. Kamados NEED charcoal baskets, the cast iron plates that come with them don't work so I will 10/10 recommend getting baskets. The basket I got on my main grill which is the Joe Classic was the KAB brand which is very pricy. I was very pleased to see this onlyfire had very similarly thick stainless steal to the KAB at half the price! So far I'm very pleased and am hopeful it will last as long as the big players, everything indicates it will.

Good product

I ordered this for my Kamado Joe Jr. It fit the grill perfectly according to the instructions. After using this, lighting the charcoal became easier, and it also helped with recycling the ashes afterward. The material is stainless steel and feels very sturdy. I've been using it very well for several years now.

A must

If you have a kamado Joe Jr. this basket is a must. holds the charcoal very well. I'd say it also help produce a good even heat. With this basket you will save some charcoal and reusing the charcoals is a breeze.

Cheaper and better than big Joe's

Fit and Airflow

Fits great in Big Joe. Helps airflow which is easier to get the charcoal started and control throughout the cook. Great price when compared to OEM basket. Highly recommended.

Fits Kamado Joe Jr. & Char Griller Akorn Jr. , I put one in each of my Kamado Grills .

Fit perfectly and makes cleaning up the grill much easier and the temperature with the additional airflow gets a lot hotter. After the grill cools down lift the basket and give it a shake and the leftover coal's can be reused for the next cooking session . It also fits my Char Griller Akorn Jr . These are a good investment and should come with the grill from the manufacturer . These are well made and will last a long time .

Divide and conquer!

This was the perfect addition to my Kamado Joe smoker. I was able to partition the lump charcoal more easily without wasting more than necessary. Also, this allows for me to better get air into the smoker to better control the burn. At over half the price of OEM with the same quality, it was a no-brainer. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Not as great a fit as I had hope for.

I ordered the one for the 24" Kamado Big Joe. It fits, but not as well as the one from KJ themselves. For the money, I GUESS it will do. It would be nice if the divider sat in the basket a little better. I can't complain TOO much for 1/3 the price.
