Unicook Heat Deflector Stone 17", Heavy Duty Ceramic Pizza Stone, Heat Diffuser Plate, Smoking Stone, Compatible for Char-Griller 6201, Fits 20" AKORN Kamado Grill, Large Big Green Egg and More

I love it. This grill from Akorn is a style of Kamado As the heat deflector fits into the slots in the grill designed for heat deflectors, the heat can reach the food, preventing it from being This is what I use almost all the time, except when I really want to have a crust on my With the Akorn grill, it is crucial to use the deflector when cooking pizza. Whenever I grill pizza I use this deflector in conjunction with a pizza stone on top of the grill to prevent the pizza bottom from burning. This is important because I heat up the grill over 700 degrees F. In spite of using two deflectors, this product and a pizza stone, the bottom of the pizza is perfectly browned in just 4 minutes. The food comes out beautifully browned and perfectly cooked, not burned on the outside and raw on the inside as I have unfortunately seen way too many times at barbecues. If you have a Kamado grill, heat deflectors like this are imperative. I think this would be perfect for.

In addition, I recently bought an Akorn Kamado Grill that comes with an optional stone diffuser piece that can be expensive. This stone diffuser stone is substantially less expensive and still works just as well. On the grill, it deflects heat very well, making it possible to do good slow smoking. have not experienced any issues with it so far. Please take note of the following warning Soap and water should not be used to clean this stone. Due to the stone's porous surface, scrubbing it with soap will just cause soap to get inside, which could lead to the stone deteriorating under heat and affecting Just turn the stone over to let any drips burn off, or use an old butter knife to scrape off all the extra drips.

I have used it for several 4 hour slow cooks and it has held up well. The only negative thing that I can say is that I don't know what to say.

I was able to fit it perfectly onto my Akorn grill. The stone is very heavy and sturdy. This diffuser is great for slow cooking because it diffuses heat evenly. For collecting grease and juice, I use a drip pan on top of the stone Maintains the cleanliness of the area. This is a great deal for what you get.

There are many pizza accessories advertised for use on Weber Kettle grills that are targeted toward the 22-inch model. A stone/deflector combo like this fits nicely into the 18" Kettle because it sits right on top of the stock grate, keeping the stone surface even with the sides of the kettle. Therefore, you can easily slide the pizza on and off the stone with a pizza peel. It's still has about 3 inches of diameter around it to allow heat to get to the pizza as it bakes. I can bring the temperature of the stone and surroundings to around 600 degrees Fahrenheit through a full chimney of quality briquettes and a little patience. I recommend having a friend open the lid slightly so that you can slide a pizza inside quickly, but it takes some practice. I have enjoyed my first three attempts at pizza making. The ones before were better than the ones after.

You can't go wrong with the less expensive item that does the same thing as the name brand. I recently used it to smoke a turkey, and I'm excited to use it to smoke fish as well as everything else.
