What does a tuning plate do in an offset smoker?
A tuning plate helps distribute heat evenly inside your offset smoker by directing airflow and temperature across the cook chamber. It reduces hot spots near the firebox and evens out the temperature for more predictable, uniform cooking.
Will this tuning plate fit my smoker?
This tuning plate measures 14.5" x 27.5" and fits many offset smokers with similar chamber dimensions. Measure your smoker before purchasing to ensure proper fit.
What material is it made from?
The plate is crafted from heavy-duty 3/16" A36 steel — chosen for its superior strength, durability, and heat retention compared to thinner materials.
How should I install the tuning plate?
Simply place the tuning plate inside the cooking chamber near the firebox side. Adjust the spacing as needed to fine-tune airflow and achieve balanced temperatures throughout the smoker. We do not recommend permanently mounting tuning plates as grease can accumulate under the tuning plate and cause a fire hazard.
How do I clean the tuning plate?
After each cook, remove the plate and scrape off any buildup using a grill brush or scraper. Keeping the plate clean ensures optimal heat flow and prevents grease accumulation.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
