    MES40 diffuser plate?

    I usually run water in my MES40 but saw a bunch of people saying to just fill it with sand to retain heat, got me wondering on if there would be benefit to instead cut a sheet of metal and slot it into there for retention as well as maybe removing the hot spot above the heating element.
