Big Steel Keg KA5533 Diffuser Kit, Black

Replaced the original one after years of use. New one dropped right in

This is a MUST have for the BSK if you want to smoke and great for baking pizza or bread. My only reason for not giving it a 5 star is the fact that you have to buy a seperate tool just to be able to remove it when it is hot. It should really be included with the diffuser in my oppinion. If you have an issue with your fire and need to restart it you have to take this hot pan out with either a tool (that is sold seperately) or something else to protect yourself from getting burnt. The pan is great and easy to clean if you forget to put water in it or foil it. I did that one time and just added water on the next cook and everything came right off of it. The wire holder for the pan is great and feels very durable.

If you have a Big Steel Keg/Bubba Keg/whatever they are calling it today, you know that you need some type of diffuser in order to smoke properly. It keeps whatever you are smoking from cooking too quickly due to direct heat from the coals. When I bought my Keg, this product was not available, so I made my own diffuser out of some steel bar and a cast iron wok. It worked fine, but when these "official" diffusers returned to the market, I bought one, and I don't regret it. It fits the keg better than my home made alternative, and it offers the ability to turn it over and use it to boost the cast iron grate up to the level of opening, which is handy for cooking pizza (and probably other things I haven't tried yet).A good buy that makes a great keg even better.

Exceptional. Use it as a diffuser and so much more. I wrapped it in foil the first time I used it just to make cleaning effortless. The second time around I put my wood smoking chips on it instead and it worked flawlessly. The wood chips smoked longer which made the food delicious. This next time I'll put wine and aromatics in it to flavor the meat and when I do want to grill burgers I can remove the pan and flip the wire rack over to elevate the grill to the perfect height, making it easier to flip the burgers. Also works perfectly to hold the pizza stone, and holds the pizza stone at the same height as the rim of the Keg to make placing and removing the pie effortless. I'd say get two, but you'd need another BK Keg for that.

Hard to find since the Keg is out of production. This works better than a Big Green Egg diffuser and is less expensive and not breakable if you drop it (I know!)

This piece has at least two uses. I've successfully used the bottom [wire] piece of the diffuser positioned upside-down from the illustration to elevate the pizza stone to cook wood-fired pizzas. I also used the whole kit under a slow-cooked London Broil. I half-filled it with water to keep the moisture level of the meat up. I also put some lumps of salted butter on top of the spice-rubbed meat before putting it on the grill because it was a very lean cut of meat. Not only did the meat turn out perfectly after about 3-1/2 hours of barbecuing, but the juices which collected and dried in the diffuser pan made a terrific, smoky-flavored pan gravy when I moved it to the stove and added some water and flour for thickening! I just wish the Broil King keg featured a small rack under the keg to store accessories like this when not in use.

Very difficult to clean. Try wrapping in foil.

Well, a couple of things. It does diffuse. And it holds liquids. Some wine, some beer, some whiskey, or just plain water, or nothing. Any of those choices for what ever you are cooking. Gonna smoke, major heat goes around and up. Not directly into what’s being smoked. Adjust the dampers, go do something else.

Must have for low and slow or indirect cooking on the keg. Serves its purpose well. Good quality.

I use this on a Big Steel Keg.I've tried, several times to use this as a diffuser with mixed results.Keeping in mind that we are using this over a charcoal flame means that we are now adding steam to the air.On long, slow smoking/roasting that moisture eventually smothers the coals.It may take a bit of experimenting to get the desired results.Having said that, the pan is exceptional for preventing drippings from landing in the coals, blocking direct heat, covers the top vent in the rain and the stand can be used as an extra shelf above and below the grill, holds the pizza stone, just a multitude of applications.I wouldn't use the pan for food unless it's wrapped in foil.I'm glad I bought it.

A little trick for Keg owners who love pizza. Flip the diffuser upside down and put a pizza stone on top. 500-550 degrees and you will be rewarded with the best pizza you've ever had.

the pan coating is a bit cheap, droplets stain it easily.Otherwise, it does what it's supposed to do.

parfait pour un Broil King Keg, mais attention, la poignée n'est pas incluse!!!
