Control temperatures in your WSM better with the Hunsaker Smokers WSM Vortex Plate. The vortex plate fits directly on top of your standard WSM charcoal ring turning your smoker from a direct smoker to a indirect smoker. This helps minimize hot spots and helps control and maintain a consistent temperature.

Some of our customers even take out the water pan when using the vortex plate because they found it wasn't needed.

Includes:

(1) Vortex plate with handle for either 18.5" WSM or 22.5" WSM. Built out of 11 gauge thick steel.

(1) Welded T Lift handle

I’ve used the Hunsaker Heat Diffusing Vortex Plate in my Weber Smokey Mountain for a handful of cooks, and I’m really impressed with the results. Right away, I noticed how much easier it was to manage temperature throughout the cook—very stable and responsive to adjustments. Hot spots were significantly reduced, which made for more even cooking.

One of the standout benefits is the flavor. The way the grease drips onto the diffuser and vaporizes creates great smoky flavor without causing flare-ups. It gives the meat that perfect finish you'd hope for from a good low-and-slow session.

Fuel usage also seemed lower compared to my usual cooks with a water pan. I was able to maintain temps for a long time without constantly feeding charcoal.

After the cook, there was a decent layer of burnt-on drippings on the plate, but they scraped off easily with a putty knife—no soaking or heavy scrubbing needed.

Overall, this is a solid upgrade for anyone looking to improve heat control and flavor in their WSM. I’d definitely recommend it.

Game changer
