That's sweet looking. I can see the quality in craftmanship. Good work everybody

[@JPBBQ]

Thanks Sam, appreciate you watching. it is definitely a great built basket.

[@gradywhite9781]

I just used my basket for my 20×42 and I would highly recommend it. It not only burns less it also keeps constant temp but the best thing is it help maintain clean smoke

[@JPBBQ]

Thanks for the comment Grady. Appreciate you watching. I use mine all the time,

[@enyceofnyc]

Nice, JP! I just received mine for my 24” LSG cabinet.

[@GrumpusOnFire]

SOLD! Very informative, J.P. I watched this minutes after you posted it, called Chris the next day, picked mine up today (Sat). I can’t wait to try it out tomorrow. I think this is a must have for all fire boxes. This basket, plus the ash pan should make our fire boxes last forever! Thanks for the review, J.P. 👍

[@JPBBQ]

Thank you Grumpus. Im glad you like it. This is definitely a game changer. I absolutely love it. Thanks again.

[@fourpressmedia2674]

I've been considering this basket since Chris told me about it a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for the review, JP, this was helpful!

[@JPBBQ]

No problem, my pleasure. it is a very well built basket. i like it. thanks again

[@spencergrant4906]

I like it, it would make preheating my next split easier while keeping the fire/coals contained in one area. Nice video

[@JPBBQ]

I was thinking the same thing Spence. thanks again for watching

[@tjinla9850]

Just got mine in today. Will try it out Saturday. Mine is the 20" series so it's tiny. Wish it was just a little wider and longer. Looks to be 3/16" steel. I plan to lay my half splits along the side plates so they don't smother the coal bed. They burn real well when set vertical like that. I like the idea of keeping the burning coals and splits off the side wall of the firebox too. Don't really need the expanded metal bottom since it sits right on top of the original fire grate so I may leave it out for now.

[@JPBBQ]

Right on. I’m excited for you. You gonna see how much easier it is with that basket. I would leave the expanded metal in. It will keep your embers from dropping too soon. Thanks for watching.

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

Looks quality!!

[@JPBBQ]

Thank you, appreciate that very much.

[@gregkerchner3175]

I always use a basket like that for charcoal or lump and just put a cupel of wood chunks on top. Much easier to keep a steady temp with a shovel full once an hour or so.

[@JPBBQ]

Appreciate the comment Greg. I absolutely love this basket. It is definitely a game changer for the firebox. thanks again.

[@BigHWorks]

Nice video JP, informative, adequate detail, in-action shots, good discussion and not too long! You are good at this stuff! I have one of those on the way for my new 20 x 42.

[@jamesturner9858]

Silly question for you. But do you have to season the basket and the inside of your fire box

[@JPBBQ]

Hey there James, appreciate you watching and commenting. I don’t think you have to but it could not hurt. The seasoning is to help build a patina that helps prevent rust from forming. Fire will burn off any rust built as well. I do spray down the inside of the firebox every now and then. Thanks again.

[@SNeal5966]

Do me a favor, and say Yuuuuuuup in your video once.....you look just like Dave Hester from Storage Wars! LOL Awesome Video though btw!

[@JPBBQ]

No problem, Ill try and remember. thanks for watching.

[@SNeal5966]

@@JPBBQ Thanks for being a good sport! I hope what I said wasn't offensive to you, I happen to be a fan of the show and I meant that as a complimentary kind of comment but looking back I realize that could have been taken differently. Also, I like your videos...keep up the good work! I am now a subscriber!

[@JPBBQ]

Not at all SNeal5966. No worries. I appreciate you being a fan. I did look up who Dave Hester is and I took it as a compliment. thanks again for watching

[@josephwilson6863]

Is it recommended to seasoned the basket???

[@JPBBQ]

Not sure, I don't think I seasoned mine, But don't think it could hurt. Appreciate you asking Joseph.

[@jima4303]

I have a vertical 36"x 30" cabinet. Does Chris have 2 different size baskets? If so, which would I need for my cabinet pit, plus how much do they cost. Just viewed your review.

[@JPBBQ]

if you have the 36 x 30 you probably have the 24 inch fire box. So i would go with the 24 in model. but its best to ask Chris, he may have different size firebox for different year models, not sure. He is very good in responding to emails. Both sizes are the same price $75.

[@MrPanthers23]

Did this basket help with maintaining temps? Does it decrease the amt of wood you use because the fire is more concentrated or localized to a small surface area?

[@JPBBQ]

not 100% sure, but i feel that i did use less splits. Ill be doing a brisket this weekend to see. thanks again

[@MrShortdog459]

How tall is the basket?

[@JPBBQ]

It’s almost 7 inches tall. Thanks for watching

[@ImHungryMK]

Thank you!

[@JPBBQ]

Your very welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@alzawalich9829]

Jp I'm debating 1/4 in or 1/2 in fire box I live about 130 miles south of you near the intercoastal were the weather is warmer all year around. What is your opinion getting the 24 vertical

[@JPBBQ]

That is a great question. All i have is the 1/4 inch and it does a good job retaining heat. If there is one thing i would get for the firebox though it is the ash pan. The bottom of the firebox gets extremely hot and that ash pan I feel works as a layer of protection to the bottom part of the firebox. A 1/2 inch firebox i believe comes with a lifetime warranty but you will have to check with Chris over at Lone Star Grillz. Hope that helps. thanks again

[@johnknapp6328]

It claims 23 lbs for the basket. Did you get big cabinet model because you cook alot of product. As opposed to 20 inch series

[@JPBBQ]

Hey there John, appreciate you watching and commenting. I got the bigger model cause it was the most cost effective for the amount of surface area that it can cook. thanks again. Plus if the case arises that i have to cook for a large groups

[@alzawalich9829]

How much wood you order at a time? I was wondering since we both live in the same environment Thanks

[@JPBBQ]

I usually get a whole truck load. Which is about half a chord. That should last you several cooks.

[@alzawalich9829]

J.P.BBQ just price 1/3 cord delivered 225

Call Neal he may deliver out to you. 4075930245 tell him I sent you.

[@alzawalich9829]

J.P.BBQ thanks I left word with him

[@johnsta83]

Sir - I am in Orange County as well. Where can I get that wood?

[@JPBBQ]

Call Jimmy at 407 947 9101. He lives off Lake Picket Road. But I’m not sure how much he has. There a company out in Tampa that serves firewood for restaurants here in Orlando. That company is called black dog firewood 813-920-4445 there website is www.blackdogfirewood.com they have all kind of wood flavors. Also from Neal Tree Service, he has seasoned seasoned oak firewood. 407-593-0245 creeds-firewood.net/ also delivers and has pick up [phone]
