FireDial Baffle Plate Heat Management System for Charcoal BBQ and Barbecue Smokers, UDS, WSM, Kettle (For 22 in. WSM)

FireDial in my Weber Smokey Mountain is a game changer! I should have replaced the water pan years ago. With the FireDial, there’s no messing with a heavy water pan. The meat is not steamed. It’s smoked very well. I just finished two racks of baby back ribs, and they were the best that I’ve ever made! Temperature control was amazingly consistent. I was at 250° for the entire cook. The best part is that after my cook, I don’t have to clean a dirty and heavy water pan.

Works great. I used the water pan for years and usually struggled to keep the temp up to 250° . When I use the Baffle Plate I have to choke the lower vents to keep the temp at 275°. It's nice to be able to be able to adjust the temperature.

This heat diffuser is the best accessory I have for my WSM. It replaces the water pan with something that is more convenient to use, requires no maintenance or cleaning. It is also very well priced. I also find that it improves the taste of the food when compared to the water pan, as the juices that fall on it vaporize and flavor the meat.

Perfect fit 18.5 wsm can’t wait to use it

I bought this as like most I find the water bowl a pain. I have used the water bowl for years with a pizza pan on top, sometimes with water mostly without just depends what I am doing and outside temp. Have used it a few times now, it works and yes you can maintain a low temp with it which I wasn’t sure of. That being said if you have to leave the lid off even for a minute the temps can spike pretty dramatically very quickly, that’s something I wasn’t use to with the bowl. I got the non stainless version and it’s already rusting a bit but well worth the money, I would opt for the stainless version next time.

Great to access the whole grill surface with no flare ups. Control temperature easier.

This is a great product and an extremely reasonable price. All the other products which do something similar or twice the price of this thing and I don't see that they would be made any better. What this allows you to do is fill up the entire bottom of your Weber Kettle's Charcoal Grate with Charcoal, pour lit Charcoal from your Charcoal Chimneys (I use 2) on top wait a few minutes for all your Charcoal to light before putting the Fire 🔥 Dial over it. Then you have the entire surface of your Cooking Grate usable instead of one side or down the middle. My Weber kettle held a level 350° for more than 6 hours without fluctuating one degree using the fire dial amazing. Still had plenty of charcoal for next time when I shut the grill down. Slow & Sear allows you to cook on one side of your Grate Weber's Charcoal Baskets allow you to cook down the middle of your Cooking Grate but this allows you to cook anywhere on the Cooking Grate using the entire surface. A truly great product much cheaper than the two I mentioned.

Great customer service! Initially sent wrong model, They sent correct model immediately without the hassle of sending photos & shipped back the wrong model before sending the correct one. By the way this item turns a Weber 22 in kettle into a great smoker.
