PRODUCT DETAILS
Product Description
Upgrade Airflow & Simplify Ash Cleanup on Your MiniMax Big Green EGG
Add a Kick Ash Basket to your MiniMax Big Green EGG to better manage lump charcoal from start to finish. This heavy-duty stainless wire basket:
- Securely holds your lump
- 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 MiniMax firebox.
For two-zone cooking on the MiniMax, we recommend using a half-moon deflector on a CGS expander setup rather than dividing the charcoal basket.
Free CGS Lump Rake Included
Every MiniMax Basket includes a FREE CGS Lump Rake ($18 value) — perfect for moving hot lump around the firebox and breaking up large charcoal chunks.
Confirm Compatibility Before Ordering (KAB-MM)
The Kick Ash Basket for the MiniMax is designed specifically for this model. Confirm the dimensions below before ordering:
- 9" Bottom Diameter
- 10" Top Diameter
- 2.25" Basket Depth
- 3.62" Overall Height (including handles)
MiniMax Kick Ash Basket Features
- 3-year manufacturer’s warranty
- Heavy-duty stainless steel wire construction
- Electropolished stainless steel finish
- Use with or without your lower charcoal grate
- Includes FREE CGS Lump Rake
We reworked the MiniMax Woo so the Kick Ash Basket and Woo do not interfere with each other — allowing you to run CGS accessories without fitment issues.
Divider Availability
Due to the compact size of the MiniMax firebox, a charcoal divider is not recommended for this model. The limited cooking surface and lump capacity make traditional two-zone charcoal splits impractical in most cases.
For two-zone cooking on the MiniMax, we recommend using a half-moon deflector on a CGS expander setup rather than dividing the charcoal basket.
Optional: Kick Ash Can for MiniMax EGG (KAC-MM)

The Kick Ash Can sits in the bottom of your MiniMax firebox to collect ash for quick, contained removal.
- Place under the Kick Ash Basket at the bottom of the firebox
- Shake ash from the Basket into the Can
- Significantly reduces the “Pain in the Ash” of cleanup
- Stainless steel construction with 3-year warranty

Our Preferred Setup
For best results on the MiniMax Big Green EGG:
- High-Heat Grilling: Remove the factory lump grate to maximize airflow and reach higher temperatures faster.
- Low & Slow BBQ: Leave the lump grate in place to mimic the grill’s natural slower airflow.
Tip: Shake the Basket before each cook to remove loose ash and maintain consistent airflow.
