Effortless Charcoal Ignition
The design of The Bastard Charcoal Basket facilitates quick and hassle-free lighting. Made entirely from stainless steel, this basket improves air circulation around the charcoal, speeding up combustion. The result is a fast and efficient ignition, which means you can start cooking in less time and with less effort than using traditional ignition methods. This design also reduces the amount of fuel needed to achieve the right temperature, allowing you to save charcoal and maintain a more consistent fire.
Two-Zone Cooking for Versatility
One of the great benefits of this basket is its ability to divide the grill into two cooking zones: one for direct heat and one for indirect heat. This allows you to cook in different ways at the same time. For example, you can sear a piece of meat on high heat in the direct heat zone while cooking vegetables or even smoke delicate foods in the indirect heat zone. This versatility is perfect for those who enjoy experimenting with various grilling techniques or who want to prepare complete meals without having to constantly adjust the grill.
Maximises Charcoal Efficiency
The Bastard Charcoal Basket is designed to optimise charcoal usage, allowing the fuel to last longer with less consumption. By improving the airflow around the charcoal, the basket ensures that the charcoal burns more evenly and efficiently, saving you time and money on additional fuel. This feature not only extends the life of each load of charcoal, but also gives you the confidence that your grill will maintain a stable temperature during long cooking sessions.
Durable Stainless Steel Construction
Made from high quality stainless steel, the basket is designed to withstand extreme heat and prolonged wear and tear. It is able to withstand high temperatures during long cooking sessions without losing its shape or functionality. In addition, its corrosion-resistant material ensures that the basket maintains its appearance and performance even after multiple uses. This durability makes it a long-term investment for any barbecue enthusiast, ensuring that you can enjoy its performance for many years to come.
Best Performance on the Grill
Thanks to its dual zone design, the basket allows for precise temperature control, which is crucial for consistent grilling results. This level of control allows you to achieve perfect cooking on meats, vegetables and other foods that require different levels of heat. Whether you are searing a steak at a high temperature or slow cooking a large piece of meat, the basket allows you to manage the heat effectively for exceptional results, with the perfect flavour and texture in every bite.
Different Sizes for Different Needs
The Bastard Charcoal Basket comes in two sizes: medium and large. This variety allows it to fit different models of The Bastard barbecues and the individual needs of the users. If you cook for smaller groups or in smaller spaces, the medium size is ideal. On the other hand, if you enjoy larger grilling sessions or cooking multiple foods at the same time, the large size will give you the space and performance you need.
Easy Cleaning and Maintenance
The combination of the Charcoal Basket with The Bastard’s ash lifter makes cleaning a breeze. By allowing for easy ash collection, this basket reduces the time you need to clean the grill after a cooking session. This not only saves you time, but also ensures that your barbecue is always ready for the next use. Furthermore, being made of stainless steel, the basket is corrosion resistant and easy to clean, keeping it in perfect condition after multiple uses.
