Quick question. What about a pizza stone as a diffuser?  I'm a wsm rookie so maybe a dumb question

@HoosierKettle You could, I strongly suggest foiling it over since ceramic is porous. I foil the platesetters on my BGE's.

I've used foil wrapped elcheapo pizza stones in the pan, red lava stones, foil balls and just the pan foiled over etc. as heat sinks. After time grease gets into every crevice and you'll start getting nasty off tastes. To each their own. I just have had a better time converting to the steel discs and using the pizza pan or lately aluminum party platters foiled over as DRIP PANS on top the disc and just toss the mess after each cook.



This is the size party platter I use on the 22's. @Easy you'll have to measure your 18" waterpan, I unloaded all my 18" WSM's.



We use/d WSM's in competition for many years and pretty much always dry with the exception of ribs.
