Small grill, same ash problem. The Akorn Jr. and Joe Junior are great for tailgates, apartments, and quick weeknight cooks, but their compact firebox makes airflow and ash buildup even more noticeable than on a full-size kamado. A Kick Ash Basket solves it at this size too — elevating your charcoal so air moves freely and ash drops clear of the fire, without taking up any extra room in an already-tight grill.
Pair it with the Kick Ash Grate Hook for easy access mid-cook, or the Smarter Scrubber to keep your grate clean between sessions.
Fits the compact Akorn Jr. / Joe Junior firebox exactly
Improves airflow for faster lighting and steadier temps
Makes ash cleanup a 30-second job, not a full teardown
