Mini-Max Ash Basket Options

Kevinboatright

I'm loving my new Mini-Max and I’m ready to start taking it on trips. I’ve heard it’s easier to cool the egg after a cook so I can pack it up and move on quicker if you remove the ash/coal but I can’t justify $65 on a KAB. Any other options? Is the KAB really worth it?

Well, Sir...ONLY you can make that final decision! BUT -iffin I were you I wouldn't even think twice before ordering one!

I take mine on the road frequently, for camping, tailgating, and parties. I have the KAB, and, I am sure you will enjoy your investment, should you make one.
$65.00, one time is worth it. You will get years of results, other than easy to cool down before packing.
No brainer, one of the best accessories you will buy.

Less than a Mini Max kick ash basket, easier to carry, cooking space of a large egg, easy to cool down:

I do enjoy the kick ash basket for my mini max and recommend it, but if you are looking for portability, the Weber JJ will do more for you than a KAB.  I own two, phenomenal grills.  Just another option, but you wont go wrong with the KAB.

Get a mm basket, then a woo.  Best two upgrades you can make.

Sounds like I won’t regret making the purchase. I’ll wait until Black Friday, they might go on sale.

Most likely they'll have a discount code on Black Friday.

I also have the Weber jumbo Joe, it's a good little grill.

I would highly recommend KAB I have them in all of my eggs and there great worth the money it also opens up the air flow in the bottom

Another strong vote for KAB--- it's great in my mm and medium!

I have the KAB in the XL and L but not in the MM.   I should get one and will get one one of these days.

Agree 100%. Skip the SS grid extender as the MM is not great at two levels despite my attempts, much better performance with the KAB and Woo. 

Also skip the spider IMO as it doesn’t work with the basket and woo well. Not enough clearance for the benefits you get on a larger egg
