Create The Vortex Effect In Your Weber Smokey Mountain
We're excited to bring you the Firedial, this unique heavy-duty baffle sits in your WSM, where your water pan would normally be and has the following benefits:
- Standard out the box it's set to low and slow, it regulates temperature by limiting the airflow through the smoker, the same as the water pan, but has the added benefit of absorbing heat and acting as a heat sink in your smoker to balance temperature swings, as well as save fuel.
- You will also get a griddle cooking effect, due to the meat juices dripping onto a red hot plate evaporating and adding another flavour profile to your cooks.
- Possibly the best feature is the adjustable tabs, by bending these up you will increase airflow and change your WSM to a hot and fast drum smoker, simply tune to your favourite cooking temperature. Why not buy 2 plates, 1 for low and slow, the other for hot and fast competition cooks.
- This plate also adds to the swirling effect, moving air in a circular motion through the wsm, this eliminates hot spots and creates very even cooking of large cuts of meat, meaning no more grate adjustment as you cook.

These plates are plain steel, they often get shipped to us marked, so they maybe scratched on arrival.
We recommend you give it a thick coat of a good quality oil or beef tallow, and fire up the WSM, leave it to bake on for a few hours and you will find the plate will be completely black covering all the marks.
