Dracarys Charcoal Kamado Top Vent Chimney — Fits Vision Classic B 18in & Pit Boss 71220/71240, Cast Aluminum Daisy‑Wheel Control

Dracarys Charcoal Kamado Cast Aluminum Top Vent Chimney replaces the original vent on Vision Grills Classic B Series 18" and fits Pit Boss 71220/71240, giving you steadier, more precise airflow control for charcoal cooking.

This cast-aluminum top chimney is engineered to match Professional, Classic and multiple series kamado-style grills while improving durability and temperature stability. It’s a compact, daisy-wheel-style vent that reduces contact area between moving halves to resist tar buildup and sticking. The design lets you dial in draft for low-and-slow smoking, high-heat searing or the quick recovery after opening the dome, without removing the vent entirely.

How does this vent improve temperature control on a kamado?

The vent’s compact daisy-wheel mechanism gives fine-grain adjustments to airflow so you can hold target temperatures more consistently. It reacts predictably when you open or close the dome, minimizing sudden spikes or drops. Cast aluminum provides stable performance under heat and resists warping.

• Fine incremental airflow adjustment for steady temps
• Compact wheel reduces thermal lag and overshoot
• Cast aluminum construction maintains shape at cooking temperatures

Will this top vent work with my grill model?

This chimney was designed to fit a wide range of kamado-style grills including Vision Grills Classic B Series 18" and many Professional, Classic and Elite model lines. It’s also compatible with Pit Boss ceramic grills model 71220 and 71240 (22" and 24"). Always compare mounting dimensions with your existing top vent before installing.

• Compatible with: Professional, Pro Mega, Pro Series, Elite 402 Delux, Classic B Series, HD1 Series
• Fits Pit Boss 71220 and 71240 ceramic grills (22" and 24")
• Designed to match original top vent mounting for easy replacement

How does the design reduce sticking and tar buildup?

The vent halves have a smaller contact area than many factory vents, which limits places where tar and creosote can weld the pieces together. The simplified interface means the daisy wheel turns more reliably after repeated use and exposure to smoke. That keeps adjustments smooth even after long smoking sessions.

• Minimal contact surface between top and bottom halves
• Less chance of tar bridging and sticking over time
• Smoother rotation for dependable airflow changes

What practical benefits will I notice while cooking?

You’ll get more predictable heat control for tasks like pizza baking, searing, or low-and-slow smoking. Because the vent can remain on the grill when fully open, you won’t need to remove it for maximum airflow during high-heat cooking. It also helps the grill recover temperature faster after lifting the lid.

• Keep vent on for maximum airflow—no complete removal needed
• Faster temperature recovery after opening the dome
• Better control for searing, baking, and long smokes

Who this is for: This Dracarys top vent chimney is aimed at kamado owners who want a tougher, more controllable replacement for worn or sticky factory vents. It’s a good upgrade for backyard chefs who need precise temperature management for pizza, steaks, or long barbecue sessions, and for anyone using compatible Vision or Pit Boss grills looking to minimize maintenance and improve reliability. The product includes a one-year quality warranty and Dracarys customer support for fit or performance questions.
