This is a prototype version of our upward deflector plate designed for the Yoder Wichita, including the Loaded Wichita model. We are currently in the testing phase and need real-world feedback from Wichita owners to verify fitment and performance.
Because this plate is still under development, we are offering it at a substantially discounted price. By purchasing, you’ll be helping us fine-tune the design to ensure a perfect fit and maximum performance.
Please note:
This is a prototype and may require adjustments during testing.
By ordering, you agree to provide honest feedback about fit and function.
Once the final version is complete, you’ll receive a special discount toward the perfected plate as thanks for being part of the development process.
 
*Though we refer to this as a deflector plate it can also be referred to as a baffle plate, heat deflector plate, tuning plate, heat deflector baffle etc. They all are related and preform in a similar way by redirecting heat. Ours simply redirects the heat up and over the food and creates very even temps allowing for almost full grate use so you don't have to always use the smoke stack side. *
 
⚠️ Important Installation Note: The factory downward baffle plate must be removed before installing this upward deflector plate. Depending on your model, removal may require the use of tools to cut out or detach the factory baffle. Running both at the same time will interfere with airflow and performance.
Disclaimer: This is a prototype product offered for testing purposes only. Fitment and performance are not guaranteed. Final production model may differ. By purchasing, you acknowledge this is an early version intended for evaluation.
