I just got my Austin XL for an early Father’s Day gift and I’m glad I was watching your videos. Very helpful information and I’m about to make me a purchase of each item to help even out the heat. Appreciate the video.
Have fun!
Just ordered the diffuser as well as the heat shield and one of your shirts! I'm looking forward to putting your products to the test! Thanks for helping make a great grill better!
Awesome to hear. Thank you for your support! Let us know how you like it
Hey thanks a lot. I ordered mine from you guys off eBay and received it yesterday. It’s a must have for smoking
Thank you for the comment! Enjoy and SMOKE ON
Got this with the updated PID controller for my 1150. The combination of the 2 helped to even out the temps throughout the pit. Thanks for this!!!
Love to hear it. SMOKE ON
Nice. I have the same pellet smoker! Do you get better results putting this plate front and back or in the left and right position?
How does the updated PID controller help even out the temps throughout the pit?
Purchased mine a few months back for my austin works awesome!
Awesome Tommy, we appreciate the support. SMOKE ON
I had the same problem with my xl so I took a pair of tin snips to the factory heat shield and made both pieces. Cut and folded the shield for the fire pot and cut off the rounded side and after a few minutes of adjusting it fits perfectly to cover the gap near the thermometer
Waited to cook with Flame Diffuser 4 open sides; Heat shield for temp gauge; baffles. Hot spots pretty much all gone. Temp shifts gone. Is now a Rolls-Royce. Great items. Takes 1 week to arrive after oredring.
Thanks for the review. We appreciate it! Enjoy and SMOKE ON 🔥
Gonna truly put mine to the test this weekend. Making thick girl brownies. Last 2 batches were burnt on the bottom because of the hotspot
Right on bud. Let us know how it goes!
@@smokeslikeaboss will do. So far so good tho
It works great 👍
Thank you for your comment! SMOKE ON! 💯
Thinking about cutting a cookie pan to cover my mine. Does fine but when I do a brisket, the flames catch the grease on fire (flames shooting thru the sear part) worked great at first but after a year of smoking a brisket or two a month it went to crap. Walked in to put something in the fridge, temp was 225. Came back 15 minutes later and it was 450 with a grease fire. Same spot everytime too
Try our heat deflector mod and flame tamer. These will help stabilize any temp swings. Give it a shot! We've sold a ton and have a very satisfied customer base.

What's the shipment time frame to Kentucky? Just ordered last night. Can't wait to get it.
Your order will ship out tomorrow afternoon! Usually takes about 3 business days to get there. Let us know if you need anything else and SMOKE ON
And the main grease catcher just lays right on top?
I have my new XL and yes the Temps are way off. Just ordered the temp probe plate to help tame the ups and downs. I was thinking of making something to cover the Probe so it does not receive so much heat as well as the probe plate.
Hello- Both of our mods with any temp fluctuations you have! I'd start with the heat deflector (please check our website to see if it will fit your model) and then move to the flame tamer. They work great together. Thanks for the comment!
Im running the Pro 1600. I've found, personally, that I'm colder on the temp side vs the exhaust side. Like anything left of the burn pot isn't getting the same temps. Upwards of 20 or so degrees. Thats going off of PB temps and an oven guage sitting directly on the rack. Ive been using 2 sheets of HD foil on the last 1/3 of the cooking grates to try and push hot air back and across. I dont see how blocking heat under the high side of the diffuser would be any better. I'm open to the idea, it just doesn't make sense to me.
Have you noticed an extra amount of pellet dust in your fire pot ? Mine had a lot of build up it flamed out. That was after only one cook . Might want to clean out the fire pot after every cook.
Yep that's how you do it
Have you tried using the ash plate with the diffuser? And if so does it keep even temps while it’s in using the diffuser? Thank you
You can leave it in if you wish. 99.9% of us remove the ash plate, in fact 3+ years ago, Pit Boss was having everyone remove that plate to try and stabilize temp swings. It doesn't really do anything. Our products are what will help improve the temp swings in a notable way. Thanks and have a great day!
do you maqke a diffuser for the 150ppg table top
Also, did you put a thermometer on the rack directly over the sear plate? I see the one in the lid but just curious if you did right over the sear plate
Yes we did
I plan on ordering both parts today. Are they shipping out right away or is there a wait time??
Your order will be shipped out within 2-3 days of ordering and they will go out priority mail shipping which is a 2 day turn around. Thank you for your support!
@@smokeslikeaboss sounds great! I just placed my order. Down Here from Corpus Christi Texas! Can’t wait to get it! I ordered both parts. Had a question. My pto is curved drip pan will still fit no problem with the flame diffuser as well right??
@@Jordanfiend361 Awesome, thank you for your support! What kind of model do you have?
@@smokeslikeaboss thanks I just got my shipping confirmation! I have the new pit boss 1150 pro series
@@Jordanfiend361 Yep both of these mods will work awesome on that model!
I'm intrigued by this heat diffuser. I have a smoke daddy diffuser in pro 850 and it doesn't even out the heat like your diffuser does. How's that possible?
This flame diffuser won't warp. You can face the opening front to back or side to side whichever works best for your boss, no other one like it.
Easily moves over or u can knock off to use sear option.
With the flame diffuser going from front to rear, does it have any effects on the paint?
Hello! No it does not affect the paint on the Boss. Let us know if you have any other questions and SMOKE ON
KC combo. Do you recommend the 2 window or 4 window? Very creative solution!
I'd go with the 4-window! It has maximum air flow in all directions.
smokeslikeaboss.com/products/new-flame-tamer-flame-diffuser-2
I just got one of these for my pb 1150 pro series…i noticed that it interferes with the diffuser plate that comes with the smoker..for now i rested it on top of the diffuser plate but it sits like 6-7 inches above the firepot now insteAd for the about 2 inches like it was intended…any recommendations? Should i ditch the diffuser plate that comes with it
Hello! Not sure why it would be sitting high on your smoker regardless if whether the diffuser plate is installed or not. It is intended to go directly above where your flame is. You can ditch the diffuser plate, it doesn't really do anything, but like I said, it shouldn't matter as far as this. product is concerned. Let us know if you have any other questions!
It seems like this is barely sitting on there would it fall off easily? I have to roll my smoker back and forth across concrete and I'm worried that would just always fall off whenever I hit a little bump
Hello! It does just sit on top however it is a pretty easy fix to just check and see if it has moved at all and then set it back on top. Let us know if you have any other questions!
Will this work on the Pit Boss Pro series 600? It's the version that is sold at Lowes.
Yes it will! Both of our mods will work on that model. smokeslikeaboss.com/
Might be a dumb question but would this ruin the sear plate on let's say the lerado 1000? Like it obviously wouldn't ruin it but would it defeat the purpose or still work?
No it won't ruin anything. When you're ready to sear just knock it off, I use a screwdriver lol and then pop it back on the next time you smoke!
Ive have seen the diffuser that goes over the fire box with both 2 window opening as well as 4 window openning. Have not seen any videos on effectiveness of one vs. the other but I am sure you have tested them. What is your recommendation as to which one to purchase for either the Pittboss 1100 pro Version 3 or the Pittboss 1600 pro model - the two or 4 window? I will order once I see your response.
They both work great and are effective at getting rid of the hotspot over your flame. The 4-window is the most popular because it allows for maximum airflow in all 4 directions.
Do you still use the stock flame diffuser in conjuction tith the custom flame tamer plate? i knoticed it wasn't installed in your smoker! the vary thin metal one ? I just bought the austin xl gonna cook soon on it just doin like 10 mods first also il be testing with my fluke thermal imager
These mods will help your Austin run great. The big thin tin metal plate across the bottom 25% of the barrel, that's what Pit Boss was having us remove when they didn't know why there was temp fluctuations and then I figured it out with this mod and the heat deflector. You can remove that big tin thing down there.
@@smokeslikeaboss thank you was wandering why I sceen so many without it in the bottom
What makes you choose front to back and not side to side? Have u noticed any heat distribution issues with it front to back?
I tested it on all four of my barrel models for a week and on all four of them it seemed to work better this way. No heat distribution issues at all. It will even out the temps along your grates.
@@smokeslikeaboss awesome! Thanks for the reply. Should be placing a order this week. Ordering both products!
@@juanmata2433 thank you for the support!
@@smokeslikeaboss I just received my order today! Excited to install and smoke sumthing! Thanks for the fast service
Just ordered this for my Pit Boss 850 Pro Series II. I am curious if anybody has experience with this model and which direction works best, front to back or side to side? Thanks in advance!
Hey Earle, I tested mine both ways and i prefer it facing front to back. All of our customers just kind of test it and see what works best for them. Both ways will help out your Boss. Thank you for the comment!
Why do you suggest positioning the flame tamer where the fire can distribute back to front? Others are saying it works best side to side. Not sure as I haven’t done any testing myself.
Hello! It is designed so that you can position it either way. Direct heat where you want it. I just like mine front to back but I do suggest testing it out on your own Boss and see what you like!
@@smokeslikeaboss it seems you had done some testing to claim front to back was the best way it just seems logical that side to side would produce the best results. FYI I got both of your mods and I think they are helping a lot. Thanks
@@eliascurrier1353 Love to hear it. Thanks for commenting!
Center is still 50 degrees over set point whem placed front to back . Ready to sell my pitboss
I ordered the 'NEW' model FLAME TAMER. do you still suggest the two completely open sides to go front to back? i have 1150 PRO SERIES.
Hello- You can do it either direction! Because of the open sides you will get even heat distribution. It's personal preference but I like mine with the open sides front to back! Thank you for your order!
Hey! Does this flame tamer still allow for searing? Or would it have to be moved for searing? On the website it mentioned to just knock it over with a screw driver before searing?
Just wondering how it could work with the sliding grates on the pitboss 1150 since that is such a nice feature.
I actually already bought this item (currently being shipped), but just trying to learn more. Thanks in advance!
Yes just open up and knock it off with something thin, tiny long screw driver, hanger, whatever. Easy peasy.
Does it matter which way you install the flame diffuser?
No, you can install it with the openings front to back or side to side. I personally like mine with the openings front to back. Let me know if you need anything else!
I went to your website and not sure if should get the original or the 4 window model. I have the 1000 d3 , any recommendations would be greatly appreciated 👍
Hello! Either mod will work but I would recommend the 4-window because it has maximum airflow in all directions.

@@smokeslikeaboss I really appreciate you getting back with me, and making these great products 👍
How long would it take for shipping to go to Washington State?
We typically ship out on Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's...depending on when you place your order it will go out and usually takes about 2-3 business days to get there!
Are the mods needed for the Laredo 1000? Thanks
The heat deflector mod will work on that model! smokeslikeaboss.com/products/heat-deflector-mod
Can you tell me the specs? I’m from Canada and don’t want to pay the shipping and would like to try and make my own.
What size is your diffuse plate for your Austin xl 1000
Hello- Either the Original Flame Tamer or our New 4-Window Flame Tamer will fit the Austin XL. smokeslikeaboss.com/products/flame-diffuser-flame-tamer?variant=39542475161799
Would this work on a pit boss pro 600? If so I will get one!
Hey Mark. This only works on Pit Boss models with a 700" barrel or above. So no, it won't work. Thanks for reaching out!
@@smokeslikeaboss can you recommend a heat deflector for a pit boss pro 600? Thanks
@@markhickey5610 You will not need a heat deflector for that model as there is already a curve in place which is deflecting the heat from the temp probe. If you're having issues and need some help, we recommend joining our Facebook group (130k+ members). There is a lot of great information and people willing to help you get your model dialed in.

Which Tamer model would you suggest for my Pit Boss 850 Pro Series II?
I'd go with the 4-window!
smokeslikeaboss.com/products/new-flame-tamer-flame-diffuser-2
Thx! Just ordered
What’s the difference between the three heat deflectors?
They are all going to work great and get rid of your hotspot over the fire pit.
The original, two window tamer, you can direct heat either front to back or side to side to try to help even out temps.
The new four window tamer gets rid of your hotspot over fire pot and has superior air flow in all four directions.
The new 3 window timer gets rid of the hotspot, and if you have an extreme difference in side to side grate temps then this would be your tamer.
Generally, the four window tamer is going to be your best bet at getting rid of the hot spot over the flame and giving you nice air flow in all other directions but they all work awesome.
Will this work on the pro series 850?
Yes it will!
Will it fit the Laredo 1000?
Hi Kenny, yes it will!
Anything to fit the KC Combo?
Hello! Both our heat deflector mod and the flame tamer will help stabilize temperatures and even out the temps across your grates. You can order at: smokeslikeaboss.com
Great Video ! I'm on the fence about which grill to get. My favorite BBQ is HEAVY smoked or to the point where it is bitter or almost bitter to the taste. Will this Pit Boss get me there?
Thanks
RG
Any of the Pit Boss smokers will get you to that flavor point. There's a learning curve but you can always join my Facebook group, 110+k members. Link in the video bio. This group will help get you to where you need to be with smoking.
Do you have a contact number? I've ordered your mods from the website recently and need to check an issue with you. I cannot find any contact info on there
