Master Two-Zone Cooking
Two-zone cooking is one of the most useful techniques for charcoal barbecue.
By placing the charcoal holders on opposite sides of the kettle, or together on one side, you can easily create:
- Direct grilling zone
- Indirect roasting zone
- Smoking zone
- Reverse searing setup
- High-heat searing area
This allows you to move food between cooking zones without constantly rearranging hot coals.
Perfect for Low & Slow BBQ
Charcoal holders are especially useful when cooking larger cuts that require indirect heat.
Ideal for:
- Brisket
- Pork shoulder
- Beef ribs
- Lamb shoulder
- Whole chickens
- Turkey
- Roast pork
- Reverse-seared steaks
By keeping the charcoal contained, airflow remains more consistent, helping maintain stable cooking temperatures throughout longer cooks.
Better Heat Control
Loose charcoal naturally spreads around the kettle during cooking.
Using charcoal holders helps:
- Keep fuel exactly where you want it
- Improve airflow around the charcoal
- Produce cleaner burning fires
- Create predictable heat zones
- Reduce unnecessary charcoal movement
The result is greater control and more consistent cooking performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do charcoal holders do?
Charcoal holders keep your fuel contained inside the kettle, making it easy to create direct and indirect cooking zones for grilling, roasting and smoking.
Do these fit Weber® Kettle BBQs?
Yes. They are designed for 57cm (22") Weber® Kettle barbecues and other compatible kettle-style charcoal BBQs.
Can I use them for smoking?
Absolutely. They're ideal for indirect cooking and low-and-slow smoking, helping maintain stable temperatures while leaving space beneath the food for a drip tray or water pan.
Are two holders included?
Yes. The pack includes two charcoal holders, allowing you to position charcoal on either side of the kettle or together for different cooking setups.
Should I use these with a chimney starter?
Yes. A charcoal chimney starter makes lighting charcoal faster and cleaner, and the hot coals can then be tipped directly into the charcoal holders for immediate cooking.
