Complete Lump & Ash Management Bundle

Bundle Includes: Kick Ash Basket, Kick Ash Can, Kick Ash Divider & FREE Lump Rake

Kick Ash Basket Bundle for Primo Oval XL 400 Kamado. Bundle includes Kick Ash Basket & Can, and CGS Divider & Free Lump Rake.

Our Preferred Setup

  • High-Heat Grilling: Remove the lump grate to maximize airflow and reach higher temperatures faster.
  • Low & Slow BBQ: Leave the lump grate between the Basket and Can to mimic the grill’s natural slower airflow.

Tip: Hold the lump grate vertically above the Can and tap it gently to drop ash into the Can before removal.

Firebowl design may vary slightly. Always measure to confirm compatibility.


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 ceramic cooker.

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.
