I have a pretty good size side box smoker, that takes a lot of heat/fuel to get the smoking chamber up to temperature. This tends to create a very very hotspot immediately adjacent to the fire box. I have tried to read a lot about tuning plates, but don't necessarily have access to many raw materials to create steel plates. I went to lowes and looked at patio stones. They look like they are made from concrete and formed. Thought I would buy a few at $2 a piece and see if they fit. They fit quite well in the smoker. Question is, before I start cooking on it, would these be harmful in anyway as they get heated up?
