Cast Iron Ash Can with Handle for Kamado Joe Junior Grill, High Temperature Resistance Heavy Cast Iron Charcoal Ash Collector for Kamado Joe JR Accessories

I ordered this from Amazon UK, took 2 1/2 weeks to arrive. It's sturdy for sure. To me two things make it less useful than I'd imagined.First, the base is thick, so good for durability, but it significantly restricts the airflow through the bottom vent, meaning I've found the Joe Jr. is slower to heat even with the vent fully open.Second, and to me the aspect which makes it almost useless -, the upper lip of cast iron the can sits above the middle edge of the firebox, and is far narrower. Meaning some of the ash goes in the can, but much of it sits out on the sides of the firebox, and because of the lip, doesn't fall into the can. Even though I use a Joe Jr charcoal basket I'd say it's only about half of the ash goes into the can. But when you try to brush the ash from the sides of the firebox into the can, much goes through the vent holes in the firebox and ends up on the floor of the Joe Jr. (This is due to the protruding lip on the can) Which means you have to take out the firebox anyway and get that stuff out through the bottom vent as you'd do if you didn't have the can. Which defeats the purpose of the can!!!I won't return it as I've used it, but I'd definitely not recommend one of these if you think it's going to magically manage the ash collection and removal. In my experience it doesn't.

The materials were poorly finished and has sharp corners and blemishes, but as it was to go in the BBQ I forgave this, but the handle fell off after one use making it difficult to remove. I regret buying this.
