The replacement basket the small-kamado world was missing. 25cm diameter, exact fit for Kamado Joe Junior and Big Green Egg MiniMax — does NOT fit Classic or Large.
1.2mm 304 stainless steel with folding handles. Keeps charcoal concentrated in the MiniMax/Junior firebox, improves side draft and lets you empty ash in 30 seconds. Also fits equivalent portable kamados (Kamado Bono Mini, Patton Kamado XS). No divider — small kamados don't have useful room for two zones, so the maker prioritizes burn time.
The exact replacement for MiniMax / Junior — and no other stainless basket fits without trimming.
Pros
- Fits KJ Junior and BGE MiniMax (13" firebox)
- Folding handles — lift in/out without burns
- 1.2mm 304 stainless — years of use
- Ash empties in 30 seconds by shaking
Cons
- No divider — no decent two-zone solution exists in small kamados
- Tight 0.5cm fit — some fireboxes warp slightly after years
Who it's for
For Kamado Joe Junior, BGE MiniMax or equivalent-portable owners whose original basket has given up.
Not for
If you own a Classic, Large or XL — use the 35cm Onlyfire version with divider.
