This simple yet revolutionary accessory is the key to unlocking true BBQ cooking versatility, allowing you to easily switch between intense, direct searing and gentle, indirect roasting.

Arrange them for different cooking styles in seconds, transforming your standard kettle barbecue into a multi-functional outdoor oven. For any griller serious about results, Weber Char-Baskets are an essential tool for mastering the flame.
- Unlock Grilling Versatility: The ultimate tool for setting up heat zones. Easily arrange coals for both high-heat direct cooking and low-and-slow indirect cooking.
- Precise Heat Control: Confine your charcoal to the baskets to create a powerful searing zone or separate them to roast and bake with convection-style heat.
- Effortless Fuel Management: Makes it simple to add fresh briquettes or smoking wood during long cooks, without having to move your food or cooking grate.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built from durable aluminised steel that is designed to withstand the intense heat of glowing charcoal, season after season.
- Perfect Weber Fit: Designed to fit perfectly on the charcoal grate of all Weber 47cm, 57cm, and larger kettle-style charcoal barbecues.
How to use & cooking methods
- For Indirect Heat (Roasting & Smoking): Place a basket on each side of the charcoal grate. Position your food on the cooking grate in the centre, away from the direct heat. This method is ideal for large joints of meat, whole chickens, ribs, and even baking.
- For Intense Direct Heat (Searing): Push both baskets together in the middle of the grill to create a concentrated, high-temperature zone. This is perfect for searing steaks, chops, and burgers to get a delicious crust.
