im fine with the regular grate and the ability to get to 1200 degrees dome temp with it. not buying this or the kab. sure wish i could get my firebox and ring replaced sometime soon

I hear great things about the KAB....I also hear a lot of people cracking their firebox components and/or base, more frequently, when using the KAB.
I get the pro of easier clean up, higher temps, more effective temp controls & more efficient burns. I know the ceramics are warrantied, but I also don't want to be swapping out broken components all the time.
Maybe this factory option would give a guy a balance between the two? -
Is this offered as standard equipment on new eggs?
-
I think I'll save my money and keep using the standard grate. I've had my bge's (lg and med) since 2006. I really don't find it difficult to clean out the ash from my bge.
Shop vac - 30 seconds - done.
There are many more accessories that I'd rather spend my money on then a ash basket."I'm stupidest when I try to be funny"

I’d never buy one for the XL. -
I picked up my SS XL KAB for 60 bucks and am glad I did. Makes it so much easier and cleaner to vacuum out the fire box. I am not even concerned with the air flow.XL BGE and Kamado Joe Jr.

Fire boxs, fire rings, and bases have been cracking for a LONG time before the KAB ever came out. The correlation was great fake news to spread until they came out with their own basket. Just like how the Smokeware cap obstructs airflow and throw off temps because the air has to exit the sides.......yeah I guess the sideways airflow from the plate setter or the single lower draft door is not an issue. Oh, don't use our charcoal since it will void your warranty. I've heard it all.

Wonder if it comes with the pirate hoop earrings?
