The plate is crafted from premium matte porcelain steel and finished at a robust 1.8 mm, a sturdier choice that resists warping and provides lasting durability even with frequent use. Its goal is to help your cooker read true heat at the barrel, rather than chasing air temperature near the fire pot, which can lead to swings. The result is a more predictable cooking environment that you can fine-tune to your preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal world grilling becomes simpler when you add this shield. With the heat diffuser in place, your controller reads actual barrel temperatures more consistently, which can help you dial in your smoker over longer cooks. Expect smoother grate temperatures from left to right and less dust and ash migration up to the food when the door is opened. It is not a guarantee of perfection, but many users notice a calmer, steadier performance in weekend cooks or weeknight smoke sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtremely thick 1.8 mm matte porcelain steel for enhanced durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMagnetic mounting with quick screw-in alignment for a hassle-free install\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCovers the gap between the side wall and the bottom of the drip plate for improved sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReads true barrel temperature by shielding the probe from direct flame exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 heat deflector plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 self-tapping screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits Pit Boss Austin XL (note: not required for New Onyx Austin XL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePro Series, PB1150, PB1100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRancher XL, Laredo 1000, Charleston, Navigator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSportsman 1100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKC Combo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant compatibility note: this plate is not intended for certain models listed in the note and may not be required for all unit configurations.
