Our Experience
Ceramic Grill Store fabricated the first lump charcoal basket for kamado-style grills back in 2006 — years before baskets became common accessories. We understand what makes a basket system durable, usable, and effective inside a kamado grill.
Material and design details matter:
- Uses high-quality 304 stainless steel
- Built with proper wire diameter for strength and heat resistance
- Designed with airflow geometry that maintains a stable fuel bed
- Maintains proper clearances for manufacturer and third-party accessories, including CGS systems
Not all baskets use true 304 stainless, the same wire thickness, or maintain correct internal spacing — all of which affect durability and compatibility. Charcoal can repeatedly reach temperatures approaching 1800°F, making material quality critical.
Kick Ash balances durability, airflow, and ease of use — which is why their baskets are backed by a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty.
