I got the heavy D heat diffuser mod from smoke Daddy and ended up getting the one with the wood channel blocks, they told me to flatten out the drip pan by stepping on it to help it fit which I did I never typically use the frame broiler side anyway. I noticed when I go to fire up the grill it takes forever and I mean upwards of 40 minutes to an hour to get it up to even 250 degrees, when I had wood in it I thought it was maybe taking extra time to heat up the wood but now with the wood out and did a quick cleanup and still takes a good long while , I saw some other folks mentioned they preheat the grill before putting in the diffuser first, or maybe try a less girthy diffuser when not using the stick burning feature. I have the pro 1100 series btw
