onlyfire Charcoal Basket, Grill Basket with Water Reservoir, Stainless Steel Coal Briquet Holder for Weber 22/26 Inch Kettle Grills and Other Similar Charcoal Grills

I never write reviews, but this product was so impressive I felt compelled to do so. I got the upgraded version with bottom grate. Build quality is excellent, and product works better than advertised. Truly nice when you get what you paid for. I use it so. my 22 inch Webber Kettle and it fits perfectly, and now allows me to sear my Chicken, Steak and Burgers directly on very high heat, finishing them off on indirect heat. Great, Great Product!

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 thing works awesome. It’s heavy and I did a great slow cook on it. The holes are plenty big. When doing a long low cook you have to move the coals around a little bit so the ash will fall through…but that’s with any long cook. Well worth the money compared to the SnS model.

I like it, but it could use bigger holes in the bottom. While using the low and slow method, the degraded charcoal ended up blocking the holes a and the temp was hard to regulate. The more coals you added just closed the holes with the charcoal dust. Otherwise, I like it. It's a heavy unit and looks like it'll hold up a long time. Functions almost as it should. It just needs bigger holes. Cleaning is a snap as well.

this is a great item, its a great asset to have for your barbecues....

If you don’t have this for your kettle grill you’re missing out. It’s sturdy and great value. Good for minion method smoking in the kettle.

This works fair. I think the holes in the bottom are sty small and don't allow enough airflow. I see there is another later model, and it has slots. It works, but not as well as some less expensive sheetmtal options.

made from great, stainless steel. feels rugged.

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.

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.

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 1/3 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 item I 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.

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.

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.
