I have been using them in my UDS for a few months now and actually have grown to like them.
As you can see I got plenty of holes drilled to allow some heat through as well as juices to still hit the coals. I have noticed even temps with them compared to uneven temps without one. I do like them. I will say however, that it seems as if my barks are not as crispy when I use them. I still get good bark but it seems as if it is a bit "soggy". Anyone else agree with my findings? If I am correct then I am not sure a diffuser should be used all the time. I am thinking maybe when I got food on my bottom rack to prevent burning but the top rack maybe I should not use it.
