CGS Adjustable Divider (CGS-12L) 1/4" 304 stainless round bar construction Adjustable 1/3–2/3 charcoal partition Heavy-duty, long-term durability Specifically built for the Large Kick Ash Basket 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 kamado grill. 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.
