Weber® Char-Basket Charcoal Briquet Holders, 2-Pack

Love this design, great for smoking food without overheating and provides better control when cooling.

These work great! They breathe well, can be modified by connecting both for a larger amount of fuel. Well worth the price. If you look for the video, it shows how to cut these to join them. You won't spend $100 for the big name brand piece. I have both. This mod works better.

I wouldn't grill without them. They make it easy to sear steaks then move them to an indirect zone to finish cooking. For smoking ribs, they are indispensable. The last thing you want is to have them over direct heat.

This charcoal holder has been a great addition to my grilling setup. It works especially well for indirect cooking and makes it much easier to control heat when grilling items like chicken or other foods that need a slower, more even cook. The heat distribution is consistent, which really helps avoid hot spots and overcooking. I also appreciate how sturdy and well built it feels. It holds the coals securely in place and doesn’t warp or fall apart during use. Setup is straightforward, and once it’s in the grill, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. An added bonus is that it helps use charcoal more efficiently, which saves fuel over time. Overall, it’s a reliable, ez to use tool that improves the grilling experience, with just a little room for improvement.

Here's the scoop on the measurements on these after reviewing the dimensions in person. The amazon marketing information below isn't accurate and neither is the Weber site or AIs. Here's the real deal.. It's an engineering feat. Note that while taking pics, my angles were hard to hold so I may be 1/16" off here or there. Height - Front, facing center of the grill: 3 1/16" Rear, against the bowl wall: 3 5/8" Width - Bottom: 3 3/4" Top: 4 7/8" Center gap: Perfect for a 9 - 9 3/8" wide foil drip pan. There is a lip on the top of the 14" side that is facing the inside of the grill. It's height under the lip is actually 3". The height of some foil drip pans are around 2 1/2". Reviews have mentioned the gap is too skinny for a drip pan - that actually works well. Roll the edges of the foil pan up slightly to reduce its width and it's now locked in under the lip of the baskets. After considering the aftermarket stainless steel brands and reading these reviews.. I have to concur at this time: Get these. The engineering on the bowing shape as you get towards the top is nice.. The increased height towards the backside (more charcoal towards the bowl), nice.. The lip to hold the drip pan in place, nice.. and the wide open air flow coming from the rear bottom, nice. I find the engineering on this to be quite remarkable. Good job Weber.

Perfect for having the options of fire placement. On each side, middle it on on one side. These make grilling an easy process. Perfectly made and fits my 22" Weber Master Touch grill.

It works, I was worried it may be too small for my 22in kettle, but it's works great for low and slow indirect method. Holds plenty of charcoal to get a high enough temp. I actually had to take coals out of it since it was too hot for the low and slow method. Can still add wood chunks to it and be able to close the grate as long as you don't fill it completely full of charcoal. I only use one basket doing low and slow indirect cooking. I may use two baskets on each far side and put food in the middle though as weber recommends this method more than the other indirect method.

Ho aspettato un anno prima di acquistarli e mi pento di non averlo fatto prima. Li ho presi da usare per il mio weber o.k 47d e sono perfetti,sicuramente in un 57 si ha piu spazio di manovra,ma se si ha bisogno di più spazio basta utilizzarne solo uno (vedi foto scattate nel mio d.47) Questi cesti servono per metterci la carbonella e spostarli a proprio piacimento nel barbecue in tempi rapidi,potendo fare cotture indirette e dirette...davvero comodi! La qualità è Weber quindi molto alta, oserei dire che dureranno per sempre,nonostante li usi spesso sono ancora in ottimo stato. Nell’ultima foto ho messo una griglia inox reperibile in qualsiasi ferramente/brico, questo mi permette di poter usare la brace che produco con il camino (di pezzatura inferiore rispetto ai Bricchetti).

Wonderful quality and made for the Weber Kettle BBQ. I use them with the disposable drip tray in between and they allow circulation of air whilst alight so slow cooking on the BBQ becomes easy. Brisket can be left for a coule of hours and just check that the fire is still fuelled up. Once the beef is right simply let mpore air get the coals hotter and charring the outside is easy.

Good product Always expect Weber to be quality and it is

Materiais resistente, atendeu as minhas necessidades.

Ces paniers à charbon Weber sont très bien conçus : solides, faciles à manipuler et parfaits pour une cuisson indirecte. Ils simplifient grandement l'organisation du charbon ou des briquettes et permettent un allumage rapide et efficace. Petit point à noter : ils sont assez grands pour un barbecue de 47 cm, ce qui limite un peu l'espace au centre si vous utilisez les deux en même temps. Et j’ai remarqué que les briquettes ont tendance à se consumer un peu plus rapidement une fois le couvercle fermé et le feu éteint. Malgré cela, c’est un excellent accessoire pour améliorer son expérience barbecue avec la cuisson indirecte.
