Sturdy is an understatement with this basket.It is thick, heavy and strong.The water reservoir is a feature you won’t find with some of the less expensive brand offerings making it more versatile with various cooking methods.Easy to use and great design make it well worth the money.

This charcoal basket works really well. The holes on the bottom allow the ash to fall through but keep the briquettes in. When you are finished cooking it really helps as you can just give the basket a shake to knock the ash off (in a safe place) and then pour the left over briquettes into a container for reuse at a later time. Does not have a water tray.If I wanted that I would just pust some water in a foil tray.

The Onlyfire Stainless Charcoal Basket is a very well-built accessory that adds great value to any grill setup. The construction feels solid, and it’s clear that it was made to withstand high heat and extended use. One thing I appreciate is the design, which includes plenty of ventilation holes. These ensure proper airflow for better, more even burns and make controlling the temperature a lot easier.However, I wish I had paid closer attention to which kettle I own. I use a Weber Jumbo Joe, and unfortunately, the basket doesn’t fit perfectly. This is absolutely not the fault of the basket, but rather my own oversight. Despite this, I’ve still found it functional with some adjustments.Overall, this is a high-quality charcoal basket that performs as advertised, and I’d recommend it to anyone - just make sure you’ve got the right grill for it!

I used this for the first time the other day and it works great. It holds a large amount of charcoal, much more than the little Weber holders I've been using. It's still a learning curve for me but one thing I can tell right off the bat is that I won't need to use as much charcoal for low and slow cooks such as ribs. Well worth the money.

Great for slow roasting and smoking ribs and chicken. Use charcoal chimney and pour into basket. Water will heat and keep meat moist, easy to refill. Can add wood for smoking. Great results.

Works fairly well and much less than the real thing. High quality materials and you can tell its made well. Works excellent for searing, for low n skow it works but there are a few things to keep in mind. Holes at the bottom are small so ash tends to build up and it will eventually (4 hrs or so) cause you to have to adjust vent settings to maintain temp. Water in the reservoir tends to evaporate so you may have to refill. That being said I've gotten an 8 hour smoke with several coals left over. My experience has been this is more convenient and and easier for low n slow but requires more babysitting than the snake method. All in all its well made and excellent for searing and a pretty good option (especially 4 hrs or less) for low n slow.

Fits my 22” MrBBQ kettle grill just fine. Like the built in water well, holds a lot of water. Very heavy duty will last a very long time. Works good for zone cooking

Having downsized to a condo, I had only room to bring my Weber 22” grill, but I no longer had space to fit my smokers.I had a hankering for brisket this last 4th of July and YouTubed someone using a grill and sear and thought I’d try to see if it could handle my 13lb brisket.I soaked apple wood chunks 2 days prior and used the liquid from that wood in the liquid reservoir on the grill and sear and plus I added 3 small foil drip pans on the other side of the grill and filled with the same liquid.I wanted to stress the importance of doing this because the reservoir on the grill and sear almost fully evaporated about 2 hours in.I only used one load from my charcoal chimney and layered the drained soaked wood in the charcoal side along with the hot coals, added the grill and set the brisket on the other side, over the drip pans I added.After about 6 hours, the smoke/fire was still going strong enough, especially if feeding a few wood chunks here and there.I took it off after 6 hours, wrapped in foil and put it in the oven at a low heat for a little while longer and after about 8 hours, it was beautiful.Perfect crust, the lovely pink smoke ring and the taste!I would have shared a pic if my greedy little greasy fingers wouldn’t have been covered in brisket drippings long enough.I cannot recommend this enough for anyone looking to covert their Weber to a real smoker.

This thing is amazing. I use homemade lump charcoal in my Weber 22 inch kettle BBQ and found that not only does the basket contain everything in a neat little package but it makes the charcoal last longer? if that's possible?I'm no pro but it looks well built with smoothed and buffed weld joints and has enough heft to it that it'll surely last for years to come.It fits right under the top grill so it can handle a lot of charcoal and covers maybe 2/3 of one side of the kettle, which leaves ample room on the other half for a drip tray.Nice to know you can still purchase a quality itemI would recommend this basket 100%, it's a keepah for me.UPDATE - A few bottom weld spots came apart after a half dozen uses but it doesn't seem to affect the overall performance, the other side is folded and seems to keep its shape. I'm still going to give it a 5 star rating, it's been a pleasure using it.

Tried this out today with amazing results. Was easy to hold temp right around 250 for many hours. The water pan section works very well keeping my protein very moist. Everyone was very pleased with the smoked chuck roast I smoked and the build quality is unmatched. Very well made. Durable affordable and quality 👌

This is the second time I buy this product (the first one was the model with the water trough, which went to a friend when I sold my first Weber kettle - I bought a Weber master touch afterwards). I absolutely love it. I don’t really think adding water in the smoker during the cook makes a difference, so I just love the extra space for more charcoal. This accessory allows me to maintain the temperature inside the kettle easily for 5-6 hours or even longer without any spikes, so it’s perfect for when I want to smoke a brisket, pork butt or chuck roast during the week while I work at home or in the winter, when I don’t want to get out so often to check on my meat. Pair it with a quality wireless probe and you have the perfect setup for smoking meat on your kettle. I’m really becoming a fan of Only Fire products and I find this one the best for my needs.

If you don't need the luxury of a removable water reservoir, then this is the one for you to use with your Weber or other 22" charcoal kettle grill. Well made of heavy gauge steel, welds looks sturdy. Looking forward to see how it does when I smoke brisket. I think the perimeter water reservoir may be superior to the one running straight down the middle. Guess I'll find out soon.

Obviously this design is somewhat based on another product that many BBQ people are familiar with, so however you feel about that...That being said it works extremely well. Construction is solid, welds look good, and couldn't be easier to use...you just fill the reservoir with water, fill it with charcoal and off you go. Fully loaded, it can run for 4+ hours (likely 6 in optimal conditions) with no maintenance at all. I leave mine in my kettle basically all the time, and it's useful for both smoking and searing (which is the idea of course).Absolutely worth the money and will likely be a staple in your kettle. Will likely pay for itself in under 2 years just in charcoal you don't have to buy, as it's extremely efficient.UPDATE: Purchased April 2020, it is now January 2022. Has worked flawlessly. Have over 50 cooks on this and it works as good as the day I bought it. Does a really great job of keeping your charcoal consistent and efficient, while also shielding your kettle from the direct heat of charcoal leaning against the outside walls. Absolutely worth the money and more. This this is like the price of 3 bags of charcoal and will last you years, along with making your cooks easier. No brainer.UPDATE TO UPDATE: September 2023. No disrespect to the Slow N Sear people, but this is just as good for a third the price. If you're even remotely considering this product, consider no longer and just buy it. You will not regret this purchase.
