LavaLock® diffuser plates convert direct heat from the charcoal basket to indirect heat. Disperses heat, reduces hot spots and burn marks. Meat will cook much more evenly. Cuts down on fuel consumption and reduces flare ups do to open lid conditions. Additionally, this baffle acts as a flavorizer, as fat drippings no longer get lost in the water bowl. This heat management system is a much have.
Dial tabs can be bent up to customize max airflow and then adjusted with the intake dampers on your WSM.

heat diffuserUsed the diffuser today. Did a bone in turkey breast. Turned out better than expected. Flavor was far better than with the water pan. I think I made a good investment. Goodbye water pan.

Awesome UpgradeThis is the best upgrade that I could have made on my 22" WSM. I was able to get rid of the water pan which cause hot spots and just about cut my cooking area in half. With the FireDial the heat is distributed evenly so I can maximize my cooking area. Great buy, do yourself a favor and get one you will not regret it.

Awesome ProductI was extremely impressed with the quality and results of this product. Completed some amazing cooks with ribs and chicken this past weekend that resulted in an amazing product that had amazing flavor off of my 18.5 WSM. Awesome!

Was skeptical at first..I'm so glad I went ahead and bought this Firedial. When it arrived I didn't think it would work when I hang racks of ribs in my WSM. So instead of putting it where the water pan sits, I place it right on top of the fire ring and I use a very minimal amount of charcoal and it works, works really well. You definitely save on fuel. No more greasy water pan.

Great ProductI am completely satisfied with the fire dail. I used it once to hang ribs in my WSM. It performed perfectly. The only thing I cas say negative is that it has sharp edges where it's cut out. Being a Tool and Diemaker this was fixed easily but I feel it should've been done at the end of manufacturing. This had no impact on the performance and I'm 100% satisfied with it.

Must have!!!The firedial is a game changer! It’s cut my cooking time in 1/2 for some cuts. The sound of the sizzle of the dripping rendering on it is music to my ears. Pro tip, take your meat off the smoker while you sauce or baste as the fire will flare up with the lid open for too long. Worth every penny!

No More Sand Filled Water PanI used the Firedial for the first time yesterday in my WSM 22. I smoked a turkey by hanging it on a PBC Turkey Hanger. The temperature in the WSM was easy to control and maintain at 280 degrees. One of the best turkeys I have ever cooked and I am 70yo. The Firedial is a well made and sturdy. I would suggest cleaning the Firedial with a scotchbrite and dish soap before the first use. The edges are like all stamped stainless steel after market products and will cut you quickly. I will clean the Firedial today and use my Dremel tool to round off all the edges to prevent accidental cuts when handling the product. I highly recommend the product! Best modification that does not cost a lot, ever. No more heavy water pan for me.

Great productI was a bit skeptic and wanted to use it a dozen times or so before doing my review. I love that I don’t have to worry about that water pan anymore. I have been able to do both low temp and higher temp cooks and maintain the temperature
I am using less lump charcoal for longer cooks.
Lower rack is a bit hotter than I like so I don’t know if I would use this for my long overnight smokes where I need to use both upper and lower racks.
I did a 14 hour smoke on a brisket overnight (upper rack) and the temperature was very consistent all nightPosted on
