I have had this diffuser for several months now, and used it numerous times. It fits very well and seems to be made to last a lifetime. I have jury rigged various things to do the job of this diffuser, but none have served the purpose as well as this diffuser. This is an invaluable addition to the Big Steel Keg!

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.

Not the best build item in the world and you'll need to add some lava stones or some other mass in the pan to make it work well. But, you have to have something for indirect cooks and this is made specifically for that task. You may also consider a BGE diffuser as well. It will work too.

Honest reviews on Big Steel Keg KA5533 Diffuser Kit

The most popular diffuser choices for the Keg (Broil King/Big Steel/Bubba/etc) are the large Big Green Egg plate setter and this.

The BGE platesetter, being thicker, does a better job at allowing the keg to hold lower temps. But this unit is designed so the factory grate can sit in the lower position, allowing you to use the second tier grate. This is great for allowing smoking of up to 3 large sized pork butts! The price is right too.

I recommend purchasing a 12-inch clay saucer to sit inside the diffuser for extra deflector density and to help the keg maintain lower temperatures. If you have a Keg, this unit is well worth the money.

Product almost a necessity to cook low and slow. Helps create an indirect heat as well as adding liquid for the longer smoke. Also came with a quick grip handle, which was an adds plus!
