Product Description

Upgrade Airflow, Simplify Cleanup & Gain True Two-Zone Control

Add a Kick Ash Basket to your Vision Grills to better manage lump charcoal from start to finish. This heavy-duty stainless wire basket:

  • Securely holds your lump charcoal
  • Lets you quickly shake loose ash before every cook
  • Maintains clear, consistent airflow for faster startups
  • Provides easy access to the bottom of the firebox for ash cleaning

Pair the Basket with the optional Kick Ash Can for contained, mess-free ash removal from the Vision Grills ceramic firebox.

Add an optional Divider inside the Vision Grills basket for true two-zone capability or smaller controlled cooks.

Run the complete Vision Grills Kamado Bundle to experience all three benefits working together for cleaner burns and better fire management.

Free CGS Lump Rake Included

Every Basket purchase includes a FREE CGS Lump Rake ($18 value) — built for moving hot lump, breaking up large charcoal pieces, and fine-tuning your fire.

Complete Lump & Ash Management Bundle

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

Kick Ash Bundle for Vision Grills Kamado: Includes Kick Ash Basket, Kick Ash Can, CGS Adjustable Divider, and a FREE CGS 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.
