I took screenshots of your up draft baffle when you originally posted your video. From that, I made two baffles for my smoker. Right out of the gate BOOM!!!!! they worked. Best part is they are removable so clean the inside bottom of the smoker is easy to do.
Placed order this afternoon after seeing this video. Been looking for materials to make one since your earlier video showing how yours worked cooking the chicken drumsticks. You saved me alot of time and effort trying to cobble one together myself. Thank you much. Yours looks great. Lots better than mine would have been. My Pecos should be much easier to cook on with this new deflector. Thanks again.
I was just thinking, it reminds me of how I mod my chainsaw carburetors, adding holes or sizing them up till I got just a bit more power and tuned. Nice concept
Just ordered mine had a modification forcing all heat up but was make shift right at opening so needed a stack extension to get good draw due to flow was restricted ... look forward to doing some briskets and sharing results ... all good at ETSY
My deflector plate design is specifically focused on evening out the temperatures in the cooking chamber (top and underneath the grill grate) and I have a couple videos showing that and proving that. It provides a consistent and efficient temperature evenness that allows you to not have to fight severe hot spots and avoid an entire side of your cooking chamber. Other “deflector” plates on the market that don’t have holes shoot the heat up and over towards the smoke stack area too quickly and creates a hot spot, which is what you were originally trying to get rid of in the first place so they don’t necessarily make too much sense because now you’re avoiding another spot in your smoker after purchasing something that was supposed to even out the temperatures, The original downward facing deflector plate, also created a hotspot in the center of the smoker that you had to avoid. Again, another in efficient design. Even if you attempt to put holes in the downward facing deflector, you still have a hotspot on that side of the Cook chamber and your cooking from the bottom up, unlike the top and bottom cooking with most of the heat coming from the top which is what you want to create good bark. My design mimics what a huge offset smoker provides. Which is that awesome almost even top and bottom cook chamber temperatures. So yes, yes the holes are absolutely necessary, There’s a reason it’s in works for a utility patent.
How would this perform with a stack extension installed, same or slightly different? I assume the design and hole size was based on stock stack height.
It sure does! Thanks for pointing that out! Wonder where he got the idea from cause here my video from 11 months ago with this half moon design with holes in it before ANYONE was messing with upward baffles. Showed it here in my video 11 months ago th-cam.com/video/r1TA2u3xHaU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k7vq-xEGg2C4YEj9
Tried the link but it shows the item is unavailable. Any idea when they will be back in stock? BBQ season is about to ramp up for me since I'm down south and this is the last thing I need going into the season.
Still waiting for that video to see how that deflector works with the higher temperatures cause so far the deflector's work with low temperatures either Upwards or downward deflectors. It's getting those high temperatures to be even with either type of deflectors
If you’re looking for higher temperatures That video may never come and here’s why, my deflector plate design is specifically designed for use in smaller backyard smokers, and promoted for use with smoking temperatures around 200 to 275 degrees. The type of backyard pits I demonstrate using the deflector plate aren’t capable of reliably cooking in the higher temperature ranges in my opinion. I also don’t have extensive testing in the higher ranges of temperatures either, So therefore I’d never want to promote a product I don’t know will work in those ranges, In theory, it will work but I am sure there is a limit of the deflector reliably providing protection.
There are holes to provide an even amount of heat in the cooking chamber for under and above the grill grate. If there were no holes, a deflector that just directs the heat straight up will cause an unevenness in temperatures in the cook chamber. Mainly higher near the stack oddly enough. So therefore after multiple tests and designs I landed on this one, it provides the closest to even temps for the entire cook chamber.
Man i can't wait to use this thing been waiting on mine to ship I'm really excited about this
Etsy shows unavailable at this time. Would really like to order one.
New link up and working. Making lots more deflectors today! 35 in stock as of now ready to roll!
That is Absolutely Amazing!! You NAIL IT!!! Need one for my Wrangler!

Thank you for the support man! Yea I hear ya it can be a lot to do. Couple years in the making now for it maybe. Totally worth it though.
Works like a charm got mine this weekend.
Do you have an ETA on when available again, got my Etsy account unsuspected!

Deflector plate works even better without any holes

Hi. Would something like this work on my Oklahoma Joe Highlander?
How would this perform with a stack extension installed, same or slightly different? I assume the design and hole size was based on stock stack height.
Works amazing either way
Great video and informative 😊👍👍
Looks like the plate on the solution smoker by mad scientist bbq
It sure does! Thanks for pointing that out! Wonder where he got the idea from cause here my video from 11 months ago with this half moon design with holes in it before ANYONE was messing with upward baffles.

Gonna order one!

Website is now live! Get them here

so sorry i put the wrong link yesterday here is the right link www.thesmokinredneck.com/
Do you know if this works on the Old Country Big Angus Smoker?
Fantastic idea! Problem solved!

It Only works on that brand of grills?
Just ordered one for my G2, let's go.
Why are there holes in the baffle? If there were no holes in the baffle, would the results be similar?
There are holes to provide an even amount of heat in the cooking chamber for under and above the grill grate.
If there were no holes, a deflector that just directs the heat straight up will cause an unevenness in temperatures in the cook chamber. Mainly higher near the stack oddly enough.
So therefore after multiple tests and designs I landed on this one, it provides the closest to even temps for the entire cook chamber.
Cook a Brisket on it!
