Title: Making my own heat shield/deflector . Fire dial , should I drill holes?
Post by: wildeagle on April 03, 2020, 02:21:28 PM
This is my water pan for my 22 wsm . Do I fire dial the same size as the water pan? Or should I add new stainless bolts to hold up the my "fire disk" below where the water pan goes?

My Fire Dial is the same diameter as my water pan.

As Tom said, firedial is the exact same size as the water pan.  And....they cost about $35.  I'd keep the pan as is and get a fire dial if the goal is to have one.

FWIW my firedial was used twice and now sitting.  I'm digging the water pan with water or sand the past few cooks.
