Having a Kick Ash Day

My Kick Ash Basket that was on backorder just came today (with a free beer koosie).  It should make my life a little easier and keep me out of the cold a little more.

This is a luxury item for me, now I'm done spending on accessories!

    Kick Ash Basket seems to be pretty cool but man, that has got to be the worst name in the market

    Agreed on both counts...it does look like a cool product...but you don't kick it.  They should have called it the Shake dat Ash basket. 
    They use that slogan in the marketing. The basket kicks ash, get it? Some people?

    It's plain steel. Mines a year old. Holding up fine. LOVE IT. Wish they'd make one for the minimax.

    I love mine so far - simple but saves a lot of time and the increased airflow is unreal.

    Oh yeah. I get it. Still an ridiculously bad name for the product. Just my opinion.

    I've had mine since last summer. Simple idea that makes clean up, and set up for the next cook, extremely easy. Very glad I bought it.

    I love mine.  I wish I had a custom "kick ash basket" the size of the kitty litter box.

    I am going to steal that name and market one of these that sells for half as much.

    Ugh!  Don't remind me.  $50 is a pretty hefty price...  it seems to be of pretty good we'll see how it goes.

    If I were you I would make a thousand of them, to start, and call them something else and sell them for a lot less. You will be rich. I'm sure they only take a minute and a few bucks to make right? Nothing stopping you. You can likely get them done over the weekend. You can market them here and I won't flag you. Good luck. Oh, don't forget the koozie.

    Well, you guys were right!  I couldn't pass up a deal on a Mini Max.  Say hello to my little friend.  I'm going to try the Woo with stone in-lieu of the plate setter.  I'm looking forward to taking my little friend on some adventures this summer.
