BBQ Future Ceramic Heat Deflector Conveggtor for 18" Kamado Grill — Plate Setter & Pizza Stone, Indirect Cooking and Even Heat

The BBQ Future Heat Deflector Conveggtor is a ceramic plate-setter and pizza stone designed to turn an 18" kamado grill into a versatile convection-style oven for baking, smoking, and indirect grilling.

If you own an 18" Large Big Green Egg, 18" kamado-style grill, or Char-Griller/Charbroil Akorn 18" kamado, this ceramic heat deflector gives you an easy way to protect foods from direct flame while circulating heat for even cooking. Constructed to meet stringent safety testing, the plate setter doubles as a pizza stone and smoking surface, letting you bake breads and pizzas or slow-smoke ribs and brisket with more reliable temperature distribution.

How does this plate setter create indirect heat for better smoking and baking?

The conveggtor design sits between coals and the cooking surface to deflect flames and promote gentle air flow. That reduces hot spots and produces a steady, radiating heat ideal for low-and-slow smoking or crisping a pizza crust without burning.

• Thick ceramic material absorbs and radiates heat evenly.
• Raised rim and flat top allow placing grates or pans above the deflector.
• Use it right-side-up for a heat barrier or upside-down to increase clearance.
• Creates convection-like circulation inside the dome for consistent results.

Can I bake pizzas, bread, or cookies on this pizza stone?

Yes — the BBQ Future stone doubles as a pizza stone and baking surface. It holds and returns heat to the dough, delivering crisp bottoms and well-browned crusts when used at high dome temperatures, while also working at lower temps for breads and pastries.

• High-heat ceramic for crisp pizza bottoms and even browning.
• Sized for 18" kamado grills for full-diameter pizzas or baking trays.
• Preheat the stone gradually to avoid thermal shock and cracking.
• Follow manufacturer care: cool fully before cleaning; never apply water to hot stone.

Is this cookware safe and easy to maintain?

The plate setter is made of ceramic that has passed SGS testing to meet relevant safety standards. Cleaning is straightforward once cool, but care must be taken to prevent sudden temperature changes that could fracture the stone.

• SGS-tested ceramic meets or exceeds applicable safety benchmarks.
• Wipe or gently brush when cooled; avoid soaking while hot.
• Avoid thermal shock: no sudden heating or dousing with water.
• Fragile by nature — inspect after shipping and contact the seller if damaged.

How do I fit and position this on my 18" kamado grill?

The BBQ Future conveggtor is sized to fit 18" Large Big Green Egg grills and compatible kamado models. It installs like a standard plate setter and can be flipped to adjust cooking height depending on whether you need more distance from coals or a lower secondary surface.

• Designed for 18" Big Green Egg, 18" kamado grills, Chargriller/Charbroil Akorn 18" models.
• Place with hollow side up for a heat shield; flip over to raise rack height.
• Check grill dimensions before ordering to ensure proper fit.
• Use with usual grill grates, pizza peels, or cast-iron pans as needed.

Who is this for? Grillers who want to expand their kamado’s capabilities — from weekend pizza nights to serious low-and-slow smoking — will find this ceramic heat deflector useful. It suits home cooks who need a reliable indirect-heat solution for baking, roasting, and smoking on 18" kamado grills, while being careful to follow handling and care guidance to avoid thermal damage.
