Move the fire, not just the food.
Most pits build the fire in one spot and leave it there. The Forever basket stands on its own legs, so you can put the fire where the cook needs it and move it as you go. Slide it to one end for an offset run, shift it for a two-zone cook, or reposition it partway through. On the Mini that opens up cooks the fixed center drawer can't reach, and on any pit it means the heat goes where you want it instead of where the hardware puts it.
It's built for wood too. More open steel means more air to the fire, so it runs hotter and more active than a standard drawer and insert when you want the fire really working.
The Basket in Every Pit
Full Size Smokeslinger
Drops into either end drawer in place of the insert, or stands on the floor to move the fire.
Mini Smokeslinger
Goes in the center drawer or free-stands on the floor, which is how you get a movable fire on the Mini.
Liberty94
Sets right into the firebox for longer, cleaner burns and the hot-and-fast range.
Forever Fire Management Charcoal Basket FAQ
-
Yep. It's a free-standing basket with its own legs, no rails and no mounting hardware, so it isn't locked to one pit. It's built and sized for the Full Size Smokeslinger, Mini Smokeslinger, and Liberty94, but because it just sets down on the floor it drops into most any cooker with room for it. Plenty of folks run it in other pits. If you've got the space for it, it'll work.
-
It will. The Forever basket sits right down on the firebox or cook-chamber floor of an offset and holds your coal bed together, charcoal or wood. There's nothing to bolt on and nothing to modify. Set it where you want the fire and go.
-
Both. The basket measures 12 inches wide by 18 inches long by 9 inches tall with 3 inch legs, so it tucks into smaller fireboxes and works just as well set into a big rig. On a larger pit you've got room to position it wherever you want the heat, and on a smaller one it keeps a tidy, contained fire. As long as your firebox has room for a 12 by 18 footprint, you're good.
-
All of them, the Full Size Smokeslinger, the Mini Smokeslinger, and the Liberty94. One basket covers the whole line. Inside a Full Size or Mini drawer it goes in place of the insert, and on the Liberty94 it sets right into the firebox.
-
No, inside the drawer it's one or the other. You've got three ways to set it up. You can run the drawer with the insert, the drawer with the Forever basket, or the basket standing on its own on the pit floor. Pick whichever the cook calls for.
-
You can move the fire itself, not just the airflow. Because it stands on its own legs you can slide it to one end for an offset run, shift it for a two-zone cook, or reposition it as the cook changes, all with a poker and mid-cook if you want. On the Mini that's a real difference, because the standard drawer sits fixed dead center. This is how you put the fire right where you want it.
-
Yes. Move the basket where the heat needs to be and set your plates and dampers to match, whether that's offset, reverse flow, or a two-zone setup. The movable fire is what makes all three easy to dial in.
-
Both, and it's a strong wood basket. More open steel means more combustion air reaching the fire, so it runs a hotter, more active wood fire than the drawer and insert do. Load it with charcoal, splits, or a mix.

¼" laser-cut mild carbon steel, built in Kaufman, TX, the same steel and the same shop as the pits.
