Upgrade Airflow & Simplify Ash Cleanup on Your Small Big Green EGG
Add a Kick Ash Basket to your Small Big Green EGG to better manage lump charcoal from start to finish. This heavy-duty stainless wire basket:
- Securely holds lump charcoal
- Lets you quickly shake loose ash before every cook
- Maintains clear, consistent airflow for faster startups
- Provides easy access to the bottom of the firebox for ash cleaning
Pair the Basket with the optional Kick Ash Can for contained, mess-free ash removal from the Small EGG firebox.

Every Basket package includes a FREE CGS Lump Rake ($18 value) — the perfect tool for moving hot coals and breaking up large chunks for an even burn.
Confirm Compatibility Before Ordering (KAB-SM)
The Small EGG firebox is typically very consistent, but we always recommend confirming measurements before ordering to ensure a proper fit.

No Basket Divider
The Small Big Green EGG is too compact to effectively use a charcoal basket divider. For direct and indirect cooking, we recommend using a CGS Small Woo with a half-moon deflector instead.
Our Preferred Setup
For both grilling and low & slow BBQ on the Small Big Green EGG:
- High-Heat Grilling: Remove the factory lump grate to maximize airflow and reach higher temperatures faster.
- Low & Slow BBQ: Leave the lump grate in place to mimic the grill’s natural slower airflow.
Tip: Shake the Basket before each cook to remove loose ash and maintain consistent airflow.
Our Experience
Ceramic Grill Store fabricated the first lump charcoal basket for kamado-style grills back in 2006 — years before baskets became common accessories. We understand what makes a basket system durable, usable, and effective inside a ceramic cooker.
Material and design details matter:
- Uses high-quality 304 stainless steel
- Built with proper wire diameter for strength and heat resistance
- Designed with airflow geometry that maintains a stable fuel bed
- Maintains proper clearances for manufacturer and third-party accessories, including CGS systems
Not all baskets use true 304 stainless, the same wire thickness, or maintain correct internal spacing — all of which affect durability and compatibility. Charcoal can repeatedly reach temperatures approaching 1800°F, making material quality critical.
Kick Ash balances durability, airflow, and ease of use — which is why their baskets are backed by a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty.
