Hello

Has anyone here used a Heat Diffuser in a BFG?? If so what was your experience and any suggestions/recommendations??

Thank you
 
So this is what the difference from stock diffuser to "heavy d" looks like, too short for a BFG...
What ended up doing is placing the stock RECTEQ diffuser over "heavy d" to control temp. The amount of smoke was way better though, the temp variance not so good...

Looking at the picture, I dont know how your grill would work. the heavy D difuser looks like it would smother the flame in the fire pot. way to small to work.
 
There is a post on Heavy D recommending that one put in two standard fire bricks to raise it to proper height over the fire pot. I did that in my 700 and it worked fine, and produced the smoke I wanted. Plenty of mesquite and pecan where I live so looking forward to some stick burning to augment smoke. (For my weekend experiment I used oak, and it was fine.)

And no problems with temp variance with raised Heavy D. They idea of two heat diffusers did not appeal to me so I went with raising the Heavy D using the bricks. Worked perfectly.
