The Kick Ash Basket lets you simply lift out used charcoal and ash before every cook. You can dispose of ashes and be ready for your next cook in seconds—no muss, no fuss. Just lift the Kick Ash Basket out and give it a few shakes in your grill or over a trash can (make sure the fire is completely out!). Set the Kick Ash Basket back in place, add some fresh charcoal, and you're ready to go in seconds. Spaces between the Kick Ash Basket's rings allow the small particles to fall through when you shake the ashes out. You can start each cook with an ideal fuel load, whether you're searing steaks or going low and slow. You get easier starts and more even burning for ultimate temperature control. The Kick Ash Basket's wire construction also allows much freer airflow than the stock grate. Open up the vents and you can achieve high temperatures faster than you've been able to reach them before. Create perfectly-seared steaks and chops, incredible “brick oven” pizza, and more. You can use the Kick Ash Basket with or without your lower charcoal grate underneath it. If you travel with your grill for tailgating, competition or just showing off for Thanksgiving, it takes a long time for your cooker to cool down and prevents you from loading up the Kamado in your vehicle right away. The Kick Ash Basket lets you lift out the hot remaining charcoal and dispose of it properly. CAUTION: Don't be a dumb ash! Obviously, you need to use some kind of serious heat resistant gloves. Lifting out the left over hot coals allows your grill to cool down faster than ever before because you can leave the lid open and let it chill. You'll be able to pack up your valuable cooking and entertaining tool so that you can confidently enjoy the game!
