Weber 2402046 Smoque XL Diffuser

What Problem This Part Solves

The diffuser is continually exposed to high temperatures from the pellet combustion system. Over time, repeated heating, corrosion, grease buildup, or physical damage can cause the original diffuser to warp or deteriorate.

A damaged diffuser can interfere with proper heat distribution and expose areas of the cooking chamber to excessive direct heat.

Replacing it with the Weber 2402046 restores the factory heat-diffusion component used in the Smoque XL cooking system. Weber lists the Smoque XL's heat baffle among components covered by a 3-year limited warranty.
