Pit Boss Modification!! Heat Deflector vs Heat Diffuser

[@SemperFi1960]

Works excellent, low and slow is the name of the game. Cleaning up after EVERY cook is smoking 101, it's a part of the deal.

I had the same experience with a heat shield mod on my 850p- liked it the old way even with the hotspot.

Just got done modding my grill. The middle was way hotter than the sides. bugged me. I took 1/4 plate welded legs on each side to make it clear the middle pot. Welded a 3/8 thread rod to the end and drilled some holes . Now I can slide it out of the way to sear still and get the more even cook. Hopefully... gonna try it out today with ribs

This fixed my temperature fluctuations and now I have consistent temps woohooo

I agree with you. Thank you for doing this review.

Thx man!

The heat diffuser is for cooking low and slow .

[@Ziggyzig213]

Maybe the size of of diffuser has a lot to do with it? I got a smaller one with just two windows and it’s fine

Can you post a link or give a description of the heat diverter. I would like to purchase 1.

its better to have the ash in the bottom, than on your food imo

Thanks for the honest info. Question for you. Do you feel you get good smoke flavor from your pellet grill when you cook and smoke with it? I just brought an PB Austin onyx and can't wait to fire it up. But nervous if I'll get enough of that flavor in my food.

Try different brands of 100% wood pellets and store them in food-safe ait-tight buckets. My Pit Boss smokes great.

[@pitbosshogg6129]

I would advise to get a smoke tube from Amazon!!

[@double2706]

@@pitbosshogg6129 I have one of those. I've cooked with it and was really disappointed with the lack of wood fired taste and lack of smoked flavor in my meat. And I made chicken burgers. Should've been able to taste something. But not at all.

That difuser might keep my pizza stone from cracking
