Please share.

I use a non stick pizza pan. I was surprised how well it stabilized the temps.

That is the one I use and it works great! Tempts between the inside edges of the drum and center are within 15 degrees.

Here's my crazy invention. I bought the metal from Orchard Supply hardware. To fabricate it I used a vise, saw, file, and welder. Cost was about $20. Works perfect.

Made it in two parts then assembled. A tripod base to sit in the upper Ubolts and the deflector/diverter that sits on top of the tripod.

Assembled but the deflector/diverter is not welded to the tripod yet. I can rotate the deflector around so it will swivel when/if I need it to.

It's more centered right over the coal basket than this pic indicates and yes, I do foil the bottom of my drum. Did you expect anything else??

I like the foil idea. Just saying. I might do that!!
