New Accessory! For my 11 year old Medium. 
I was kind of hesitant at the price, but the dream of not stirring ashes made the Kick Ash Basket for the Medium irresistible, so I ordered it, and it arrived promptly. Seems VERY heavy duty and well made, and fits perfectly, handles could be a little bigger. Too early for a full review, but so far, looks good. 

 

Had to cook something, do did some freezer diving, and came up with some leftover pork steaks, ground beef, and Yucatan pulled pork, so made a Cinco de Mayo meatloaf, with some green chilis, crushed tomatoes, DP Fajitaish, Cumin, onions, carrots, masa, bread crumbs in the mixer, and an avocado in the middle. On the Medium (which got started faster with the Basket), indirect, 375ish, ’til 160ish. 

 

 

Good eats

    If you take out your fire grate you will get better airflow with just the kick ash basket in there.

    You probably don't need to use the factory fire grate with the basket. 
    LBGE (still waitin' for my free T-Shirt), DIgiQ DX2 (In Blue, cause it's the fastest), Heavy Duty Kick Ash Basket, Mc Farland, WI. :glasses:  B)
    If it wasn't for my BGE I'd have no use for my backyard...

    I've been using my kick ash basket, minus the factory fire grate,  in my Large BGE for 2 cooks.  

    On the positive:  
    Get to temp fast as a rocket and cleaning afterwards is much faster.

    Still need to time the basket shake to be right  before taking a shower.
    Ash gets in my hair.   A feature only a die-hard Egger could love :-).

    Works great with the grate, but I'll probably try it without sometime too. Seems like a really good addition, but just got it this afternoon, so I'll have to play with it for a while before I am totally convinced.
