Hongso 18in Plate Setter Conveggtor for 18in Kamado Grills — Fits Large Big Green Egg, Ceramic Heat Deflector

The Hongso 18" Plate Setter Conveggtor is a premium ceramic heat deflector designed to convert 18" kamado grills into reliable indirect-heat ovens for smoking, baking and roasting.

If you own an 18" Large Big Green Egg, 18" kamado grill, or an 18" Char-Griller AKORN Kamado, this plate setter fits the bill. Made from high-grade ceramic, the conveggtor redirects and evens out heat across the cooking chamber so you can bake pizzas, roast poultry, smoke pork, or slow-cook brisket without exposing food to direct flame. The durable construction has been SGS-tested to meet applicable quality standards, and its 3/4" thickness balances thermal mass for consistent temperatures and easy cleanup.

How does this plate setter create an indirect-heat environment?

The Hongso conveggtor forms a barrier between the charcoal and your food, forcing heat to circulate around the grill’s perimeter. That prevents flare-ups and reduces hot spots so foods cook more evenly over longer periods.

• 18" outer diameter and 2 1/4" height provide full coverage for 18" kamado fireboxes.
• 3/4" ceramic thickness stores and radiates heat to stabilize temperature swings.
• Perimeter airflow design redirects heat around the edge for consistent indirect heat.

What can I cook with the Hongso 18" Plate Setter?

This heat deflector makes your kamado a versatile oven for low-and-slow recipes as well as higher-heat baking. It’s suited to anything that benefits from indirect heat and stable temperatures.

• Bake pizzas and artisan breads with even bottom browning and crisp crusts.
• Roast whole chickens, turkeys, and pork shoulders without charring.
• Smoke ribs, brisket, and other cuts over long cook times while retaining moisture.
• Make casseroles or cookies when you want controlled, oven-like heat in your kamado.

Will this fit my Big Green Egg or AKORN kamado?

It is engineered to fit all standard 18" Large Big Green Egg models, 18" kamado-style grills, and 18" Char-Griller AKORN Kamados. To avoid fit issues, measure your existing parts before ordering to confirm compatibility.

• Outer diameter: 18" — matches 18" kamado firebox interiors.
• Height: 2 1/4" — designed to sit securely above the charcoal bed.
• Thickness: 3/4" — consider clearance with certain accessory stacks or racks.

How do I care for and clean the ceramic plate setter?

Ceramic construction is easy to maintain: let the plate cool fully, then brush off ash and wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents and thermal shock from cold water on a hot surface.

• Cool completely before handling to prevent cracking from sudden temperature change.
• Remove loose ash with a grill brush or soft nylon brush; wipe with damp cloth as needed.
• Do not use abrasive powders or metal scouring pads that could damage the ceramic surface.

Who is this for: The Hongso 18" Plate Setter Conveggtor is for kamado owners who want reliable indirect heat for baking, roasting, and low-and-slow smoking. It’s ideal for home cooks and outdoor chefs who use 18" Big Green Egg or AKORN-style grills and who need a durable, easy-to-clean ceramic solution to expand their cooking options. Always verify measurements against your grill’s original parts before purchase to ensure the best fit and performance.
