In the end I decided to return it, and ordered the charcoal basket from Kamado King instead, which has more suitable dimensions. Will receive it tomorrow so I will confirm that it fits alright! Also I see discussions above about how to correctly setup the cook, temperatures etc. I would highly suggest the YouTube channel "Smoking Dad Bbq" and this video in particular: It is aimed at Kamado Joe owners, but concepts explained are exactly the same with Aldi Kamado. Good luck!

Hello, Received the Aldi Kamado a few days ago, did our first cook with it and so far so good! However, I ordered the Onlyfire charcoal basket from amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07G3X9DV2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&th=1) that has been recommended here, which arrived today, and it doesn't fit. It is just a few millimetres too large for the firebox. The amazon description gives a diameter of 14 inches, but mine is about 5mm wider. So my question is whether the issue is with the basket or the firebox? Would really appreciate if someone could send me the measurements of their firebox inner diameter! Thanks!
