I’m going to add my voice to others who have give 1 star reviews. I have a Kamado Joe Classic 2. When the charcoal basket is in place, the deflector shields do not fit in the bottom position. The hooks on the top of the basket are in the way. Your response to them totally misses the point. The accessory rack isn’t even used in the bottom position. There are no YouTube videos showing how to place the deflector shields in the bottom position when using the charcoal basket. My suggestion to you is put the charcoal basket and the divide and conquer rack in a Kamado Joe Classic 2 and then try to insert the deflector plates in the bottom position. The issue should be obvious.

The basket itself and divider are good quality sturdy stainless steel. The problem with it is that it is meant to engage the Divide and Conquer frame so it can be taken out together. Unfortunately, the connections sit too high and heat deflector plates can't be placed properly at the correct level. Dissappointing as many reviews about this for some time, but still clearly not fixed. Most recommending cutting off the connectors, which I too may need to resort to.

One of those "must have" accessories if I do say so myself. Helps with loading charcoal, increased airflow, and helping with reuse of charcoal that is not fully consumed in a cook.My only issue with it, is that after only about a year of cooking the entire basket is a rusted mess. I was expecting stainless steel to be a bit more resilient. Makes me wonder about longevity. Perhaps this corrosion is normal given the high temps in the Kamado.

Great upgrade I've got a big joe series 1, makes clean-up much quicker. Helps the fire breathe alot better. Much faster to get fire going also. A little on the expensive side but it is built like a tank. And still cheaper than opposition brands, its made out of All stainless steel.It does need a slight modification if used in a big joe series 1 if you want to run the heat deflectors in the lowest possible position (you will) (only takes 2 minutes)
The KBJ charcoal basket doesn't fit into the Kamado Joe Classic preventing the diffuser plates from sitting flat and snugly on top of it due to the hooks it comes with. The hooks are meant to hang off the flexible cooking rack to enable the ash basket to be easily lifted out with it, however with the charcoal basket resting on the bottom of the ceramic firebox the hooks of the basket then stick out above where they should and don't hang on the flexible cooking rack as they should. The hooks sticking above and prevent the diffuser plates from sitting flat.
The Product is great. It helps save on charcoal. The purchase process was unsatisfactory. I loooked on Amazon AFTER I bought the item from KJ. It was $20 cheaper on Amazon. I contacted KJ and asked if they would price match. They said no. The moral. Do your 'shopping' and 'looking' BEFORE you make your purchase.
Is a great addition so it would get 5 stars, but one gripe is that the KBJ charcoal basket doesn't fit into the KBJ II so that the diffuser plates can sit flat and snugly on top due to the hooks it comes with. The hooks aim to hang off the flexible cooking rack to enable the ash basket to be easily lifted out with it, however with the charcoal basket resting on the ceramic firebox the hooks of the basket then stick out above where they should. The hooks sticking out stop the diffuser plates sitting flat. I have seen people then laying the diffuser plates on top of the KJ accessory rack but that's not what its meant for nor what I want as I need that for a drip tray to sit above the diffuser and below the grill rack. Reading other review threads it seems people saw ... MoreIs a great addition so it would get 5 stars, but one gripe is that the KBJ charcoal basket doesn't fit into the KBJ II so that the diffuser plates can sit flat and snugly on top due to the hooks it comes with.

Reading other review threads it seems people saw off the hooks or mod them somehow. OK you have to accept it may then be harder/messier to get it so gets a minus on that. I'm going to see what I can do to mod first (bend the hooks to be lower) before hacksaw as last resort.Note: this is likely also so for the KJ II as well as KBJ II (which I have) - it may not be the case for the KJ III / KBJ III as they are deeper.
Great build quality that feels like it will last. I especially like the partitioning that allows you to put lump charcoal in one half of the basket.The basket is designed to lift with the entire grate assembly. This appear convenient when cleaning the grill. However, it can present a challenge if you need to add more lump charcoal in some very long cooks.
Cannot believe an accessory actually made by KJ, to suit their own brand KJ’s, DOES NOT FIT straight out of the packet. Deflectors do not sit well at all in the D&C, the hooks on the basket get in the way of everything… and the response from KJ themselves is to watch some YouTube videos to see how other people have negated this blatant design flaw. Ridiculous.
I had a Komatsu style grille before and it was Ok, but the Kamado Joe is next-level! It’s like comparing a Toyota to a Lexus, they are both excellent cars but the fit and finish and touches of the Lexus make it stand out and so it is with these grilles. The online buying experience was also excellent with frequent updates as to the status of the order and setup of the delivery. This is a HUGE heavy grille so make sure you have help to place it! Zero regrets and I’m not sure what else I would put on a wish-list.
