Onlyfire Charcoal Ash Basket unboxing+cooking with fire

[@devinthomas4866]

Bought this ceramic kit this summer. It is a fantastic upgrade. Couple tips. Use about half the amount of charcoal as normal when starting off. The ceramic insert holds heat and transfers it very efficiently. Deflector is great option, I use it about half the time. When I use rotisserie with the insert a whole chicken cooks super fast. Definitely a fuel saver, I'm guessing 40% less conservatively. The bowl of my Weber is also a lot cleaner than normal now, the heat turns everything into ash and sweeps right out. I am definitely going to cover my deflector in foil, it's great at catching juices and giving some live fire flavor but it's dirty as expected.

Why no volume? Can't wait to use mine, big a few weeks ago but busy moving house etc

Same here. I am in the process of restoring a used Performer. I wish there will be 17" diameter stones in the future for those big briskets.

First cook, about a chimney of Kingsford using the snake method, went at 250°, for 6 hours after adjusting vents, never touched again. Ribs were perfect and had a little less than half of the coals still unlit. Over a lifetime of use will easily pay for itself in less charcoal used.

Woild be cool to see how much charcoal you used and how many were lit to start. Cool product.

I just received my kit today, but can’t try it out yet due to really high winds, however I am wondering how can I get ahold of that cart you have your grills on or alteast some info on it. Nice

I’ve bought a Weber Performer. Haven’t used it yet as we are waiting to move house. I already have the OnlyFire rotisserie ring and the smaller pizza oven for my 47cm so might give this a go too.
