After reading some of the mini posts, I thought I would try and make one as I already owned a Smokey Joe Silver.
Here's a picture of the steamer rack I used as a heat diffuser. I used bolts to get the ceramic pot base off the diffuser a little. The notches are to clear the bolts for the racks-
Here is the ceramic pot base in the bottom on the diffuser-
Bottom rack-
Outside of the pot with rack bolts and a temp probe opening
This is what I am using so far, wish I could find some expanded metal-
I ran a small batch of charcoal thru it as you can see by the color of the aluminum and it got to 300 and I then shut it down some and it held at 235 for more than an hour,pros and cons of using the steamer rack??
