## Description

desertcart.com: Total Control ® BBQ Charcoal Basket smoker pit fire box basket 12 x 10 x 6 Laser Cut - HEAVY DUTY : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Glad I purchased this! - I have battled temperature control and fire management for years. Just never really got it right. So I decided to invest in a high quality fire basket. And man am I glad I did. This thing is made from thick steel and welded very well. I know many are really good at fire management. Then there are those that are not so good and end up turning to a pellet smoker for ease of use. I decided to try the basket. First thing I did was I sprayed the whole thing with canola oil, then I put it on my propane grill and cranked up the heat to burn the oil into the metal of the basket. I did this to cure the basket and hopefully eliminate or post-pone premature rust. Essentially I seasoned the basket before use. Like you would a cast iron skillet or a off-set smoker. Filled up with one chimney full of unlit hardwood lump charcoal. Put 3 logs of hard oak on top. Filled up the chimney and lit that one up real good before dumping it on top of the whole thing. Kept a steady 250-275 for 3-4 hours before I had to add more wood. This thing really helps to control the fire. Made it much easier to manage. It's not perfect mind you, I still had to adjust the firebox vent accordingly. Just made it easier with less frequency of adjustment to airflow. Seemed to more efficiently utilize the fuel . I highly recommend it.
Review: Working great so far - I've used it 3x and I love it so far. Nice, heavy quality. Seems well made. Little pricey, but works as advertised. If it lasts, it'll be worth it. You can also use it just to keep your briquettes from scattering around (and aerated) when cooking anything on direct heat/on a smaller scale.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Total Control Indeed
*by K***R on May 15, 2019*

I originally thought the 12x10x6 basket would be too small for my Johnson custom-made smoker. Instead it turned out to be the perfect size to get into the firebox. It fits nicely under the racks for direct heat applications. This charcoal basket is something I should have bought a long time ago. It keeps the charcoal in a tight pile. with a couple flat fire bricks underneath to allow ashes to fall this firebox maintains a long, clean steady burn ideal for reverse flow "stick burning" smokers like mine. Great product. I would recommend it to anybody. Total Control BBQ Charcoal Basket smoker pit (fire box basket) 12 x 10 x 6 LASER CUT...completely worth the money. Glad I bought one.
