    OKJ Bronco Diffuser Plate

    Bronco folks, do you use the diffuser plate when hanging racks of ribs?

    #2
    Nope. Just trim and cook. My last rib cook I hooked the racks on the third rib down. The tops will bend more aggressively as they cook so use a couple of hooks on each rack and daisy-chain them. The bottom of the rack, close to fire, were perfectly cooked. No char.

          I’ve always used the diffuser plate myself. I just felt more comfortable using it. But, sometimes it could get in the way if hanging long racks of ribs or a big brisket. There’s certainly no harm in not using it, the PBC people hang food all the time without a diffuser.

            Yes and no. I leave out the diffuser plate, but I use a Hunsaker Vortex charcoal basket. The vortex does kind of the same thing as the diffuser plate, but sits slightly below where the diffuser plate would be. I don't like stuff dripping directly onto charcoal, and the vortex sizzles it all away on the hot metal before it can drip on down.

              I leave mine on as well with great results. Look forward to pics of your cook!
