Char-Griller Smokin’ Stone/Heat Deflector

Late. I’ll use next time! It looks great though! It came after 4 th of July. I didn’t think it would take 3 weeks to get from Georgia to Arizona. I was actually bummed. I waited till the last day I could then I smoked my meat without it.

Good quality pizza stone. Well made pizza stone and a must have for smoking.

Works great until it cracks. Worked great until it developed a crack and split in two.

Akron-Griller deflector. Deflector works great. Ordered and arrived within 3 days. First pork shoulder and ribs were perfect.

It didn't last long. Cracked in half. This thing broke in half! I just read similar experience from other customers. I've bought it on October '24 and used it at least handful of times.

A must have accessory! The smokin stone from chargriller is great ! I’ve used it twice already and I’m loving it  I highly recommend this product!

Smoke Stone For Slow Cooking and Smoking. I've used several times, cooking ribs, chicken, steak, and pork chops and everything turned out great. Easy to clean and maintain.

Great Addition to the Akorn. This gives great control of heat and smoke. I flip it over after each use and heat from bottom cleans it off. I especially like this when using a baking stone

Heat deflector for Acorn Grill works great! Works for indirect cooking. Used to make pork shoulder

Worthy Accessory. It appears to be organic in nature and an efficient shield from direct heat.

Can't use without grill. Grill doesn't have axle. Stone arrived and grill arrived without axle. The stone is useless until axle comes in.

Damaged, was reported using your form, no response. Product arrived broken. Submitted request but you have not responded. I cant find another method to communicate with you.

Smoking stone deflector. Solid and durable, works perfectly as advertised Easily cleans up with a regular spatula

Works good. It cracked so I need buy a new when did they get so expensive

Must buy. Retains the heat so well with my smoking. Constant temp. Lasts forever.

Definitely a great addition would recommend. This heat deflected is a great addition to this grill! It truly helps cook low and slow without worrying about the flame.

I would absolutely recommend the purchase of this product. This is a must have, when using the smoker feature of this grill.

LOVE THIS PRODUCT. THIS GRILL IS AMAZING . IVE NEVER COOKED A TURKEY IN MY LIFE AND WE USED THE GRILL WITH THE SMOKING STONE AND IT WAS ONE OF THE THE BEST TURKEYS EVER!!!!!! SO ANXIOUS TO GRILL /SMOKE AGAIN. I MIGHT EVEN ENVITE FRIENDS OVER BECAUSE I FEEL THAT CONFIDENT THAT IT WILL BE DELICIOUS. I AM NOT A GREAT COOK BUT I MIGHT HAVE FOUND MY NICHE IN THE GRILLING/SMOKING CATEGORY.

This should be supplied inside new grill, add it to price. Add it to new grills, add it to price other grills have it enclosed

Very helpful product. We use it for making pizza

Would buy again. very durable as described

Great addition to my Grill. I use it for smoking.

Wonderful addition to a grill... The best way to make great pulled pork BBQ

Good value. It is worth the $$

Perfect addition for the grill. Made a huge difference while baking potatoes and fresh corn on the cob. Great addition to my Acorn.

Great for smokiny. Good for smoking

Yes I would. I love using this smoking stone on my Acorn Grill

Best ever. This fits perfectly and make smoking with the grill super easy. You definitely need this to complete the overall grilling experience. Buy it!

Love it still working with it works very well with smoking. Have the acorn grill and love it and all the products

Good product. Have not used it yet but it fits and I look forward to using it

I would definitely buy again if needed. I love this heat deflector, I used it to cook a Boston butt. It turned out great. Very good and sturdy product.

I would buy this product again if needed. Does what it says blocks the direct heat for a long time slow and low cook

Can't wait to try it out! I haven't used it yet but I know it's going to be a great addition to my acorn !

YES. The SMOKIN STONE fi perfectly into my CharGriller. LAst weekend I formallyt smoked my first pork shoulder. The results were incredible.

Stone works great. Have used the stone to smoke all sorts of meats...next up is pizza!

Get this to go Low/Slow. Am new to the Kamado, so everything has been a first time for me. I started off with all direct heat set ups and cooked burgers that my wife claims are the best we've made, and grilled chicken that I think was the best we've made. It was great to fill the grill with butterflied boneless skinless chicken breast and make enough to freeze for abuncha menus that have all been awesome. Wanted to try some low/slow smoking. Ordered the smoking stone/heat deflector, and it arrived quickly in good shape. It fits well and does the job nicely. Protects the grill food from intense heat and from open flames when the grill is open. Gives a place to set a pan to catch drippings. So far have smoked our first Boston Butt and St. Louis cut spare ribs. The butt turned out really good. I followed a recipe for the ribs that was not the best, so I get to do that one over before calling it a keeper. Liking the smoking stone/heat deflector so well, that I'm about to order the pizza stone to open even more opportunities. If you're ready for low/slow smoking, don't hesitate pulling the trigger on the smoking stone. Have enjoyed the AKORN kamado so much that we've given the Weber and Traeger to the grandkids starting their own households.

thanks for the stone. My son really likes the smoking sto e. He says thank s says thanks for in eventing it

I love it. I used it while cooking wings and they turned out perfectly cooked and delicious!

Great purchase. So glad i got this!! Upped my smoke game big time. If you are even the slightest bit intrested in smoking spend the money and get this and the drip pan. You wont regret it

Excellent Service. Fits perfectly. Excellent shipping time. Char Griller should move production back to the USA. You know, put neighbors to work.

Had problem with cracking, like other reviewers. We use the stone in our Akorn grill several times a month to make pizza and calzone. Have learned from experience that a temp between 625 - 650 F--not higher, will cook in a pizza in 90 seconds to 2 minutes. You need to roll your dough thin and not try to put too many toppings on or it is difficult to transfer from the pizza peel to the stone. Sprinkle the peel with semolina or corn meal so the pizza slides off easily, We had a few mishaps in the beginning but it is completely worth figuring it out. Best pizza we've ever made; now we don't have to pay $20 and up for an authentic Italian pizza. Our issue with breakage occurred after about a year of moderate use. The thing is, we can't bear to go back to baking pizza in the oven so we are dealing with the issue of breakage. We didn't drop ours, nor do any of the things that the paperwork advises against. I think these stones are just fragile. We try to be extra careful now, but we have also ordered a back-up so that we won't be without a stone, especially if we are in the middle of making pizza when we have the next disaster. We've also just had our grate crack--it was just a couple of pieces from the main (outer ring) and a small part of the inner ring so we have been grilling meat around the holes until the new parts arrive. It's awfully disappointing, and we wonder if the heat capacity of this grill is hard on the grates and stones. We hope CharGriller will look into the break

Must have accessory. Great for indirect smoking. Worked great for my pork butt.

Works as intended. Worked like a champ for smoking meat. The stone collects carbon from the flame, so it is a little messier than I expected when putting it on and taking it off of the grill.

Works great can build fire in middle as opposed to one side. Less often adding charcoal as a result

Needs to perform better than reviews. Bought because I wanted something for pizza and indirect grilling. We'll see how it performs but it has not got good reviews (breakage)

I would recommend. Used it once for chicken grilled good and the chicken was very tasty! A use without it there was lots of smoke.

A must have for proper baking in the Akorn. I use it as designed. Its heavy duty fits perfectly. An excellent product. I highly recommend. I bake alot in the akorn and am impressed every time.

I would highly recommend this deflector plate. This deflector really helped to even out the smoker heat which makes it easier to find and keep your smoking temperature. Also your drip pan can sit right on top of it which makes the pan easy access

Nice addition to bbq. Perfect compliment to the kamado kooker. Helps cook more evenly. Love it.

Yes. Allows for better temperature control for smoking. Would suggest wrapping with foil or placing pan on top of deflector to catch drippings

It was used a few times and fell apart. We loved it while it lasted but it did not last long.

yes I would buy another product. B-bque burgers ribs chicken and smoked ribs works nice easy to use and easy to clean out a big plus. We enjoy this very much

Yes. Really works well deflecting any flames and distributes heat evenly for the best grilling. .

Works great. I cooked ribs on the charcoal grill today , The grill was about 320 degrees and the ribs came out great, nice and moist.

Smokin' stone/deflector for Acorn. The smokin' stone is an essential piece of equipment if you do a pork shoulder or similar slow cook on an Acorn. I've replaced two in 10 years. Both times it was because I got careless. I advise against leaving it outside between uses, where it might get wet or subjected to cold winter temperatures. If you spill water on it while it's hot, you'll break it. It's unglazed ceramic and that is an excellent material for the purpose. But vulnerability to thermal or mechanical shock is the nature of the beast. Having said that, there is no reason it won't last for decades if used within the design limits of the material. Get a good pair of insulated gloves to handle it when it's hot. There are alternative tricks to get the same effect, but the smokin' stone works for me.

Smoking stone. Helps disperse the heat very well makes clean up so much easier

Smoked ribs were bomb. We used this to deflect the heat to smoke ribs for 6 hours and they were the best ribs we've ever had!

I definitely recommend it. use it to provide indirect heat while smoking briskets and other meats. I also place a drip pan full of apple juice on it under the grill to keep the meat moist and tender. works great especially when using it for long smokes.

It broke in half and char-griller would not replace it. I did not drop this stone and was always careful with it. After 4 uses, it broke into 2 pieces when I picked it up! Based on the fact that you could see drips of drippings where it broke, it obviously either was cracked when purchased or else cracked under heat and eventually grease worked it's way into the crack. This is a flaw in the product. Char-griller said that because it wasn't the first use, it couldn't be a defect. Bottom line - don't buy this deflector.

Great addition to this grill. It works great! I direct heat is the only way to smoke

Good product, but is breakable. This is a great deflector. I have not had a chance to use it as a pizza stone yet.

The stone takes your grill to another level of grilling. Im impressed with the way the stone changes the grill into a convection grill. And everything comes out nice and smokey.

Smoking stone. The stone is thick and works well as deflector plate. Seems to be good quality product and excellent fit for the Akorn. A foil pan (water or dry catch) can easily set on top of this to catch drippings.

Not impressed. Product cracked after first use. When trying to remove from the grill, it broke into pieces. Waste of money.
