GRILLJOB Lump Charcoal Fire Basket for 18-inch Kamado — Stainless Steel with Removable Divider

This GRILLJOB lump charcoal fire basket is a heavy-duty stainless steel insert with a removable divider designed to improve airflow, cut charcoal use, and fit 18" kamado-style grills like the Big Green Egg and Kamado Joe.

If you own a large kamado grill and want a cleaner, more efficient charcoal setup, this GRILLJOB stainless steel charcoal basket is built for that purpose. It replaces flimsy ash pans and loose coals with a structured container that encourages better combustion, simplifies cleanup, and gives you a way to split the firebox for small or multi-zone cooking. Made of high-temperature stainless steel and reinforced with extra bottom bracing, the basket withstands frequent heating cycles without warping or rusting.

How does the basket improve charcoal performance?

The basket raises and contains lump charcoal so air can circulate beneath and through the fuel, which helps coals ignite faster and burn more evenly. The open-bottom design and spacing reduce smothering and encourage hotter, steadier heat while using less charcoal overall.

• Perforated sides and open-bottom allow oxygen flow for more efficient combustion
• Raised construction prevents ash buildup from blocking vents
• Fits the kamado firebox so coals pack higher for sustained heat

What makes the divider useful for different cooking styles?

The included removable divider turns the single firebox into two separate zones so you can sear on one side and roast or slow-cook on the other. It secures in place with locking screws, giving a stable partition for dual-temperature setups without shifting under heavy coals.

• Removable divider creates direct and indirect heat areas in one grill
• Locking screw fasteners keep the divider steady during cooking
• Use half the charcoal for small cooks or split fuel types between sides

Will this fit my 18" Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe?

Yes — the GRILLJOB basket is sized to work with 18" kamado grills. Its diameter and handle clearance were chosen to sit securely inside large Big Green Egg and Kamado Joe fireboxes while leaving proper space for ventilation and grill grates.

• 14" diameter body (14.75" including handles) fits 18" kamado interiors
• 4.5" height (5.7" with handle) keeps coals at an optimal level below the grate
• 9" bottom diameter provides stable footing and airflow on kamado plates

How durable and maintenance-friendly is the stainless steel construction?

The basket is made from high-temperature stainless steel and reinforced with two strengthening bars welded across the base to resist warping. That alloying reduces corrosion risk compared with carbon steel, and the simple shape makes ash removal and rinsing quick after cooling.

• Stainless steel resists rust and handles repeated high-heat cycles
• Extra bottom bars and heavy-duty welds prevent bending and sagging
• Smooth surfaces allow fast ash dumping and occasional rinsing or brushing

Who is this for: The GRILLJOB Lump Charcoal Fire Basket with Divider is aimed at kamado owners who want cleaner charcoal management, easier multi-zone cooking, and a long-lasting replacement for flimsy ash pans. It suits backyard grillers who use lump charcoal for searing and smoking, cooks who value fuel efficiency, and anyone who favors durable stainless-steel accessories for their 18" Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe.
