Best grease bucket UK: the pick in this set
Updated: 23 October 2026
A pellet-smoker cook ends with a drip pail that is split, missing, or already full of fat. Amazon mixes that pail with a small charcoal bucket, and the busiest star count sits on the grease pail, so a star sort can point you at the wrong product. The best grease bucket UK listing in this set is the Oklahoma Joe's 9518545P06 at about £12.47. The Foppla set at about £15.65 is the best-value pick when you want foil liners in the same box. The full table is on the [grill bucket comparison](/hub/grills-and-barbecues/grill-bucket). Prices are amazon.co.uk figures.

Best grease bucket in this set
The top pick is the Oklahoma Joe's 9518545P06 drip bucket at about £12.47. It is an open 2-quart pail, about 16 cm across and 198 g, with no lid and no liners. The listing showed 4.6 stars from 2,641 ratings, and that total mixes countries. One UK review, dated 3 June 2026, calls it a replacement for the small bucket on a Traeger 650. Buyers say it hangs and catches grease. The same comments mention thin metal, dented parcels, and wind that can swing the pail off an outside hanger. Spout fit, including HDW152 and the Timberline clash, is on the pellet grill grease bucket fit page.
Best value if you want liners in the box
The best-value pick is the Foppla grease bucket set at about £15.65. You pay a few pounds more than the Oklahoma Joe's pail and get 15 foil liners, no lid, 5.0 stars from 16 ratings, and a 14.3 cm diameter. Bin the foil once the fat is cold.
Sixteen ratings are a short sample next to 2,641. One German comment describes hot charcoal ash in the metal pail. Leave that alone. The listing's ice-bucket line is the wrong next use after grill fat. Pit Boss lists its replacement at 12.7 cm, so these 14.3 cm foils are the wrong guess for that cup. Waltboar TR1400ML, about £17.88, is the other 15-liner set and costs more on four ratings.
Best charcoal bucket, with a limit
The only grills in this set are the HOMION PHM1034 and the PREMZO PPM0560. HOMION is about £14.15, 3.9 stars from eight reviews, 30 by 30 by 22 cm and 1.7 kg. PREMZO is about £14.85, with no review line, 30 by 27.5 by 22 cm, and a listed 5 kg. It claims stainless steel. Quote 1.7 kg and 5 kg separately, because the files never explain the gap.
Neither listing states a lid. A UK HOMION review said the rain got through. Take one for a few people on an open grate under £15 if you keep the weather off the food. Which? has put a Napoleon portable kettle near £80. The kettle case is on the grease bucket or charcoal bucket page.
What not to call a best buy
BCOATH is about £5.97, with 2.1 stars from four reviews, about 7.5 cm across and 85 g. UK reviews call it tiny and bent. A full smoker cook overfills it. A 12.7 cm Pit Boss-shaped cup, around £4.50 to £7.49, can finish a cook when the spout matches.
LuLobtg, about £12.99, has no reviews. It claims a lid, 12 liners and 500 ml. Half a litre is not 2 quarts, and the pancreatitis lines are seller advertising. Mifoci, about £55.93, is an ash kit with a claimed locking lid and no seal test. Leave it when you want to cook or to catch fat. If the job is still unclear, start with the grill bucket buying guide.
Common questions
Which grease bucket is the top pick in this set, and who should skip it?
The top pick is the Oklahoma Joe's 9518545P06 at about £12.47, a 2-quart open grease bucket at 4.6 from 2,641 ratings, with no lid and no liners. It suits a smoker you already own if you will wash the pail or add liners later. Skip it for a cover, liners in the box, or a charcoal grill. The 2,641 figure is the listing total, not a UK-only count.
Is Foppla better value because of the 15 liners?
Foppla is the best-value pick at about £15.65 because 15 liners come with the pail. You pay a little more than for the Oklahoma Joe's bucket and bin a foil cup once the fat is cold. The listing shows 5.0 from 16 ratings. Those foils are the wrong assumption for a Pit Boss bucket listed at 12.7 cm.
Are the HOMION or PREMZO grills the best bucket barbecues?
They are the only cooking grills in this set, at about £14.15 and £14.85. HOMION has 3.9 from eight reviews. PREMZO has no review line. Neither states a lid, and a UK HOMION review said rain got through. A lidded kettle, which Which? has put near £80 for a Napoleon portable, is the step up when you want the food covered.
Is the £5.97 cup a bargain?
BCOATH at about £5.97 is cup-sized, about 7.5 cm across, with 2.1 from four reviews. UK reviews call it tiny and bent. It fills too soon to replace a 2-quart pail. A 12.7 cm Pit Boss-shaped cup, around £4.50 to £7.49, is the more useful cheap part when it matches your spout.
When should you leave this list for a kettle?
Leave when you want a lid, vents, and a grid you can close. HOMION and PREMZO state no lid. Which? has cited a Napoleon portable kettle around £80, which is the money for weather cover. If you only needed a grease pail, stay with Oklahoma Joe's or Foppla.
Can the ash bucket be a best pick for cooking?
The Mifoci kit at about £55.93 is a charcoal extinguishing bucket, with a claimed locking lid, no reviews, and no seal test. It is a candidate when leftover charcoal needs metal so it can cool. It is the wrong spend when you want to cook or to catch smoker grease.
