you tried it and found it meh? what in particular didn’t work for you?Meh.
Not tried but, this concept is not really new, and I pretty much understand what and how I want to do things. Besides, where in blazes would I put it!?you tried it and found it meh? what in particular didn’t work for you?
Weber recently came out with this:
Weber 7666 Charcoal Heat Controller, Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJMTB9LJ/?tag=tvwb-
not sure what you mean, the concept is present with every kamado smoker as well as the wsm where the water pan acts as a heat deflector. again, i guess i’m missing your point, you would put it in your weber kettle.Not tried but, this concept is not really new, and I pretty much understand what and how I want to do things.

Clear to me you need one more KettleBesides, where in blazes would I put it!?
No, No, No!! Enabler! Besides if I did, I just get a WSK like yours!Clear to me you need one more Kettle
Exactly, it’s in every kamado and the heat deflection is in the WSM I just have no need for the thing. Yes, I could put it in my kettle but, I have no need for it, so, I’ll spend that money on another couple of briskets.not sure what you mean, the concept is present with every kamado smoker as well as the wsm where the water pan acts as a heat deflector. again, i guess i’m missing your point, you would put it in your weber kettle.
It is a heat deflector for low and slow. Gives you full use of your grates.thanks, imo the new weber product, which looks for all the world like a well known competing product, does not facilitate low and slow smoking for an experienced user. they say as much in their marketing speak.
are we still talking about the weber product? here’s a photo of using it low and slow. otoh, the advantage of the product i linked in my OP offers to do just that.It is a heat deflector for low and slow. Gives you full use of your grates.
thanks, perhaps I should have been clearer, let’s pretend the product target audience is people that don’t own a wsm. for people that don’t own a wsm, do you think the product facilitates better/longer low and slow cooks than one can achieve without it? and on the charcoal issue, what if users chose not to use coal baskets?I have one that I haven't used in over a year. Loved the concept at first, but it's not better than using a WSM and I can do indirect just fine already with my kettle. Plus I found that the lowered part comes low enough you can't have any coals above the top of a standard Weber coal basket. Wasn't something I used nearly as much as I thought I would.
Yes. All I offered was a less expensive product for LAS. It turns your kettle into a smoker.are we still talking about the weber product? here’s a photo of using it low and slow. otoh, the advantage of the product i linked in my OP offers to do just that.
Yes Jeff I have done briskets and pork butts with my arua and still have charcoal to spare, the deflect plate does a great job and I have been able to maintain consistent low and slow temps for hours. It is a great product for some who does not have a smoker and wants to do low and slow cooking. Like I just posted I can't speak to the onlyfire, but I high recommend the aura.thanks, perhaps I should have been clearer, let’s pretend the product target audience is people that don’t own a wsm. for people that don’t own a wsm, do you think the product facilitates better/longer low and slow cooks than one can achieve without it? and on the charcoal issue, what if users chose not to use coal baskets?
