Kamado Joe Stainless Steel Charcoal Basket for Big Joe 24-inch — 304 SS, Dual Cook Zones

The Kamado Joe Stainless Steel Charcoal Basket is a durable, easy-to-lift insert that separates charcoal from ash and creates two independent cook zones in Big Joe 24-inch grills.

Designed for Kamado Joe Big Joe I, II, III and Pro Joe models, this 304 stainless-steel basket streamlines clean-up and expands cooking control by letting you bank coals on one side and leave the other cool for indirect cooking. The basket connects to the Divide & Conquer Flexible Cooking System so you can rotate it into place or drop it out with the same motion used for the cooking grates, making reloads and ash removal faster and tidier than raking ash with hand tools.

How does the charcoal basket speed up cleaning after a cook?

The basket lifts out the spent fuel and ash in one motion instead of scooping and sweeping inside the firebox. Because it contains the ashes, you avoid clouding your grill area with dust and embers.

• Lift-out design collects charcoal and ash for quick disposal
• Stainless steel resists warping so it stays easy to remove
• No need to dismantle firebox components for routine cleaning

Can I create different heat zones with this accessory?

Yes — the charcoal divider lets you bank coals on one side while keeping the other side lower for indirect cooking. This setup gives immediate control for searing and slow-roasting on the same cook surface.

• Thick stainless divider forms two distinct coal banks
• Ideal for searing on one side and smoking on the other
• Works with the Divide & Conquer system for flexible grate layouts

Will it fit my Kamado Joe Big Joe 24-inch grill or smoker?

What material and durability features matter for long-term use?

Constructed from 304 stainless steel, the basket resists corrosion and maintains shape under repeated high-heat cycles. The sturdy construction keeps the divider secure and prevents premature fatigue from thermal stress.

• 304 stainless steel for rust resistance and strength
• Thick divider resists warping during prolonged cooks
• Built to withstand regular insertion and removal cycles

Who this is for: The Kamado Joe Charcoal Basket is ideal for backyard grillers who want a cleaner, faster post-cook routine and more precise heat control.
