onlyfire Charcoal Firebox Set, Stainless Steel Charcoal Ash Basket with Heat Deflector for Char-Griller Akorn Kamado Kooker Charcoal Grill

Works amazing for 55 gallon Ugly Drum Smokers. No other heat shield needed. Ad a stainless steel pan underneath to catch the ash, throw in some natural clay Kitty litter under that and your drum will stay amazingly clean.

Excellent product - retains heat perfectly and easy to clean

My ceramic fire bowl for my vision pro s series grill crack and for months I waited for a replacement to no avail. The original fire bowls have been on backorder for as long as I have tried to find one so I finally gave up. I thought I was going to have to buy a metal replacement knowing that wouldn't provide the same temperature control or protection to the outer ceramic exterior. Finally this charcoal firebox set was available and it fits! The grill sits a little lower than with the original but the second tier rack insert that came with my grill lines right up to the original distance. Honestly I think I a use another tier now and have three racks! This firebox set is actually easier to remove than the original as well, you just remove each insert and then lift the basket out instead of having to lift one heavy bowl. Highly recommend even if you don't need as a replacement! Also, the gaps at the bottom of the basket allow for the ash tray to slide underneath the basket.

Since Vision grills has been out of fireboxes forever, I bought this and put it in my classic. Works great, takes a little getting used to. I needed to adjust airflow because it gets a lot more in the Kamamdo. It's much shorter than the Vision firebox, so I also bought a second level grate that gets the meat up about where the previous grate sat.

Fits perfectly on my Akorn Chargrill! Love it.

I bought this thinking it would be an improvement to my Akorn, it is not. The fact the fire bowl needs to be removed its a loss. I have done heat retention tests and surprisingly the original fire box does better than the ceramics. An improvement would have been the grate would fit inside the fire bowl even if some spaced is lost similarly to what Kamado Joe does.To make things worse, the basket does not properly sits, two of the legs will sit but a third one will always fall outside. No matter how careful I tried it is not possible for the basket to sit properly given the angle of the steel legs. This causes the charcoal basket to be slightly inclined which is not good for heat convection. This annoyed me.Overall the ceramics seem to be decent quality and good width for heat retention but I was surprised how quickly charcoal is consumed vs the fire box all things being the same. I would have thought the opposite would be true but its not the case. Maybe because of the difference in height between the fire box and the ceramics.Not sure if I will use, not worth the expense I think.

i love this item! i have a vision grill with a ceramic firebox. I i replaced the heavy bulky one with this it works great.i needed to raise it with two patio blocks at the bottom and it fit perfect. good job amazon.

Seller was great! They responded to my emails immediately. But I had to return because the firebox don't cover the ash tray on my vision kamado grill. Seller refunded me in full within days! I will purchase from them in the future, Thanks.
