With the ash drawer 16 inch you no longer scoop the ash out of your kamado, you pull it out from underneath. You grab the drawer by the handle, slide it out, tip it out over the bin and slide it back in. That gets your Grill Bill 16 inch Medium ready for the next session in under half a minute, without digging around in the firebox with a shovel.
Why an ash drawer 16 inch works better
Ash is the biggest problem for a kamado that isn't drawing well. If a layer builds up, the bottom air inlet gets blocked and your temperature drops away without you understanding why. With a proper collection drawer, that clean-up becomes so quick it stops being a chore, and you keep the fine dust contained instead of scattering it through your garden.
- Handle lets you pull the drawer out in one motion
- Tip it out over the bin and slide it back in
- Stainless steel, so it withstands heat and aggressive ash
- Keeps the bottom air inlet clear, which helps your temperature control
- Prevents mess and spills when emptying
- Fits all Grill Bill 16 inch Medium models
Keeping on top of the ash
Empty the drawer when your kamado is cold, ideally before you fire it up again. That way you're sure there's no glowing remnant in there, and you start every session with a clear air inlet. For long sessions it pays to empty it beforehand, so there's room left for the ash that builds up that day.
Maintenance
A quick wipe or rinse is enough. Let the drawer dry fully afterwards before sliding it back in, since moisture combined with ash forms a stubborn crust on the bottom.
Combine the drawer with the charcoal basket for the 16 inch, so both ash and coals stay in their place. Everything for this size is under 16 inch accessories and the rest of the kamado accessories.
