Deflector stones/plates for a Vision Pro S

[midmo]

Is there an aftermarket stone or deflector plate for visions grills? I have the large stone and have had it for about a year or two. I went out side and was having trouble with a new lump charcoal holding temp and removed the lava stone and noticed is is cracked halfway across the stone. I would much rather have something that is longer so the ends of ribs or brisket don’t get burnt. Is there something else out there? I see aftermarket or other offerings for other manufactures but not much for the Vision.

My 21" Akorn has 3 lower brackets at the same level for the ceramic smoking stone to rest on. Instead of the $40 stone I got a 17" round charcoal grate for a 22" Weber kettle and it rests perfectly on the 3 brackets as an elevated steak charcoal grate or to put up to a 15" pizza stone on it for indirect heating. The 12" pizza stone I usually use is cracked in half but sits flat on the grate no problem. I put a disposable aluminum pan on the stone and a piece of foil in a rectangle to catch drips and deflect heat. I've seen rectangular ceramic pizza stones and dishes on Amazon. Measure the Vision and search for a size that fits.

I've heard these Vision lava stones are very prone to cracking. Wish they would fix that because it would get very tiring continuing to replace.
