READ THE DIMESIONS, I DIDN'T. Item is much smaller than depicted in the illustration, but is accurate per the specifications - which I admit I didn't read carefully before ordering. Haven't had the chance to use it yet, so I don't know how it will perform in my Smokin' Champ.

Heat It Up. This is awesome, not sure where I heard this but, the basket indeed made the slips burn hotter. I have now tried with and without. I'm sticking with having it

You really do need this accessory. We have the 2022 Wrangler Model #2623. The Char-Griller Charcoal Basket Model #4040 is a great investment. It fits easily both horizontally and vertically in the Wrangler's grill body. With the Wrangler's adjustable height ash pan at the lowest setting, you have plenty of head room. There is enough overhead clearance to raise the Charcoal Basket up a few notches if you wanted. I put 31 charcoal briquettes in it about 1 1/2lbs and it filled the basket up about halfway. This basket has plenty of room for more briquettes or lump. I'm really excited about this purchase as it will help keep the coals together during indirect grilling. Previously I'd be making a pile of briquettes and hoping that they didn't roll off the ash pan. The Charcoal Basket's rolled cold steel came green (unseasoned). I cooked it twice like you would a cast iron pan to give it a protective patina so it wouldn't rust. A light coat of vegetable oil all over, oven set to 450 for 1 hour. Then I let it cool down and did a second run. You can see it's got a nice brown seasoning started.

Yes. For indirect heat grilling. Works great for the purposes in which I uses it for. Nothing negative to report.

Well made product. Appears it will last for several years. This basket can be used for a quick sear and slow cook but is ideal for indirect cooking and smoking.

looks great. have not used this item as of yet.......Looks and seems to be built well.
★★★★★ Griller October 27, 2021 · Ohio
Yes I would buy again. The basket holds the charcoal in place. To allow more room for indirect cooking.

So-So. It works, but the mesh could be smaller. It let's a lot of coals fall out!

Great barbecue. My husband likes everything about his new Chargriller. He loves to smoke proteins so he purchased two baskets & it works perfectly. Only issue he has is the charcoal tray warped after using it once.

Great, but Messier than It Needs to Be. This is very well-made, sturdy, and should hold up well over time. It works well to concentrate a large amount of coals any where in the pit. the one knock on it is that if you fill it the ash from the sloped sides falls outside the easy dump ash catcher, so you need to scoop it out by hand. Had the sides not been sloped so as to assure the ash falls into the ash catcher, I believe it would be a five-star item.

Perfect for controlled heat cooking while smoking.
★★★★★ george April 20, 2021 · Undisclosed
review is above. used the basket when I cooked a whole chicken indirectly and the result was absolutely excellent!!! instead of the charcoal laying flat to the side of the chicken, the basket formed a wall of perfect heat as the charcoal is stacked in the basket. this was a new and much better way to cook indirectly

Would buy again . Great for holding wood chips or extra charcoal for certain applications .

Yes. Great product for me because I love indirect grilling
★★★★★ Kevin March 15, 2021 · Undisclosed
Great product for smoking. I use this with my kettle style grill for smoking. I first felt the basket was too small but after using it works perfectly! Definitely recommend if you were wanting to indirect heat cooking.

Quality Product. Item was backordered but did arrive fairly quick. I've used Char Griller products for almost 20 years, very good quality
★★★★★ David September 19, 2020 · Undisclosed
Arrived Just in Time for Hurricane Sally. As the headline suggests, this item (back ordered for over two months) arrived the day before Hurricane Sally made landfall a few miles away. We were without power for 32 hours and this basket greatly assisted with the efficient use of our supply of charcoal. By using less charcoal and taking advantage of direct and indirect heating, we used our Char-Griller to cook up a variety of tasty choices.

Great product. Worked as advertised and wish I'd bought one a long time ago.
★★★★★ TERREANCE June 18, 2020 · Undisclosed
I would definitely buy this product again! Love it! I can offset grill now without using and deteriorating my coal tray!
★★★★★ Dan June 12, 2020 · Aurora, IL
Big, solid charcoal basket that fits perfectly in my grill. My old Weber charcoal baskets had rusted away. I was just piling coals in my grill, which makes a mess. I wanted some new charcoal baskets and these are perfect. They fit my Char-Griller grill perfectly and they're a lot more substantial than my old baskets. It's really easy to dump coals from my chimney starter into these baskets.

Nice Baskets. Great customer service and easy to shop, will be doing business again!
★★★★★ Owen June 11, 2020 · Port St Lucie, Florida

★★★★★ Buster ll June 11, 2020 · San Jose, ca
Nice basket. works great to keep your coals in one place and makes it easy to add more without having them roll off the pile i would definitely purchase again
★★★★★ King of BBQ October 3, 2017 · Oregon
Awesome for indirect. I use the basket to control the heat and use for indirect smoking.
★★★★★ Riley June 26, 2017 · Des Moines, IA
Charcoal basket. I use this in Char Griller smoker. It allows more oxygen to the charcoal and I can control the hear better.
★★★★★ Smokeasaurus February 2, 2016 · California
Awesome Kasket. Under 10 bucks for a charcoal basket...sign me up. Works great in my Outlaw when I am not in the mood to use the side fire box. There is something good about food on one side and fire on the other. This basket is great for briquettes or lump. You can toss a wood chunk or two on top...or add wood chips throughout the coal base. Great way for a lower temp steady burn.
