Picked up an unused Junior at a garage sale for $50. Too good to pass up, but it is missing the cast iron fire grate. I was planning on getting an ash bucket, do I need the grate if I’m using the basket?

Also, any key tips get the most out of this sweet find?

    Nope, you should just use the basket.

    To really increase the versatility of the Jr, get a cast iron pan that fits with the lid closed. I also really like the cast iron grate from KJ.
