When you want HOT and you want it now. Cuts your lighting time in half and gets up to searing temps promptly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased this, very well made. Thicker gage rod than expected. Will last the life of the grill.

After one use, the shiny chrome look is gone and it is now a rusty, old looking charcoal basket.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The basket makes it very easy to put the lump in the smoker.

Great accessory to have for the KJ, can start the charcoal quickly and attain pizza level temperatures. It provides the best heat and charcoal flames for searing as well. The increase in air flow over the charcoal make all the difference. With the KJ's excellent air flow control you can still cook low and slow with he charcoal basket.
