    I may catch heat for this but I have fallen out of love with my kick ash basket. I'm back to my Hi-que

    @Chief9 so its like this, every time i "shake that ash" the little pieces work their way to the bottom and clog the holes. Don't get me wrong its nice to be able to pull the coals out with one swoop but what good is it if I have dump the coals out. It's just not as simple as shake that ash. I'm over the experiment

    Are you shaking it inside the egg @grege345 ? I shake into a small metal trash can.

    I do shake it over a coal can but the bits shake down  and trap themselves in the grates. There is no doubt the the ash shakes out but thats not the problem. like with the stock grate the little bits choking the holes is the culprit

    I'm not going to lie, I'm bored and have nothing else to do so I typed this.

    Sorry, @SGH I started this thread in the spirit of starting an interest list for Kick Ash Basket for KJ Jr and since received an Email from Chad, of KAB, indicating it's on it's way.   This kind of made my point moot.   I'm going to start a new thread on this point to clarify.

    @DoubleEgger this is what I do, too, and I think it works well.
