Hello, I have all my parts together to build my mini. But I can't decide what to do about a defuser. I like both of these designs but can't decide which I want to do. I dont think i can post a link to the weber forum so I'll explain. One is called a flying saucer and he cut the center out of steamer tray and sets a stainless steal dog bowl inside the steamer tray as a difuser. On the other he leaves three tabs after cutting out the center of the pot and bends them up to hold a cake pan.
I didn't want to use a terra cotta saucer because of the cracking factor so I was thinking I would prefer to use the cake pan or stainless dog bowl but I don't know if one works better than the other. What are your thoughts on which is better? Or should I just make it to where it i can use either a cake pan or a saucer or the bowl? I was hoping I could keep my temp at 225 at time but was hoping to get to 300 or higher for poultry. Im using a sjs and plan to use a can to block ash and I was planning to build a charcoal ring. Thanks any input.
