WSM Heat Diffusing Vortex Plate (Plate Only)
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 had the WSM for nearly 10 years, and about have switched away from the water bowl a long time ago. Great quality on this diffuser plate!
Very well built. Keeps my WSM 18 at 225 degrees very stable and no flares when I open the lid.
Fits & Works nicely….
Vortex Plate arrived quickly from the time order was placed. Used it while hanging 3 racks of ribs and temperature control could not have been easier. Very happy so far with my purchase. Pairs well with my Hunsaker hanging kit.
