If you are doing long cooking, smoking or indirect cooking, a charcoal basket can offer you better fuel management and save you coal.
Advantages of the charcoal basket in a kamado?
Here’s a look at the top reasons why you might consider using a charcoal basket in your kamado:
1. Facilitate coal management
The coal basket helps keep the coal in a more organized and ventilated space, which promotes more efficient combustion. By concentrating the coal in a basket, air can circulate more freely around the coal pieces, resulting in a more homogeneous and stable combustion.
2. Better airflow
A charcoal basket helps maintain proper air circulation under the charcoal. This prevents the charcoal from shutting out or burning unevenly. By promoting optimal aeration, the basket allows the coal to burn more efficiently, contributing to a more consistent temperature and more economical fuel use.
3. Makes cleaning easier
The use of a charcoal basket also makes it easier to clean the kamado after cooking. Once the cooking is done and the charcoal has cooled, it is much simpler to remove the basket and dispose of the ashes in one go. This reduces the risk of ash spilling all over the kamado, simplifying the cleaning process.
4. Optimization of space for indirect cooking
If you often do indirect cooking or smoking, a charcoal basket helps concentrate heat in a specific area of the kamado, while leaving the space around it for heat and smoke to circulate. This allows you to achieve more even heat and better control the temperature in the cooking chamber.
5. Facilitates long cooking
Charcoal baskets can also be very useful for long cooking, such as when preparing meats in slow cooking or smoking. By allowing for better coal management and reducing the risk of ash fall, the basket helps maintain a slow and consistent burn over long periods of time.
6. Use of briquettes or charcoal chunks
Some charcoal baskets are designed to accommodate both briquettes and lumps of coal. This type of basket allows you to choose your type of charcoal according to the type of cooking and the duration of the cooking, while allowing better management of your briquettes.
7. Durability and longevity of kamado
By concentrating the coal in a basket, you prevent lumps of coal from spreading throughout the combustion chamber. This can help protect your kamado’s internal materials from premature wear, especially ceramic surfaces, which are susceptible to excessive heat and wear.
