Kamado Joe’s grills are known for their versatility, but managing charcoal can be a messy chore. The KJ-MCC23 stainless steel basket solves that. It’s a simple, durable upgrade that fundamentally changes how you interact with your Classic Joe.

Made from 304 stainless steel, this basket is built to last through countless cooks. The real benefit is practical: you lift the entire basket out for easy ash cleanup, eliminating the awkward scooping and ash clouds. The included divider lets you bank coals to one side for precise two-zone cooking, turning your kamado from a slow-smoker to a searing station in seconds. It’s a straightforward accessory that makes grilling more efficient.

It fits all 18-inch Classic Joe models seamlessly. While the divider is useful, it’s a single, fixed piece, so your zone configurations are somewhat limited. For most users, the dramatic improvement in cleanup alone makes this a worthwhile investment.
