Transform your Weber Kettle into a high-performance BBQ machine with the Kettle Cone Vortex — the ultimate tool for mastering indirect heat and leveling up your grilling game.
🌪️ How It Works – The Vortex Effect
The Kettle Cone is a heavy-duty, cone-shaped insert that creates a supercharged heat vortex right inside your kettle. Here's how it works:
🔥 Fuel Placement: Charcoal is placed inside the cone, focusing heat into one intense vertical column.
💨 Airflow Control: Hot air rushes upward, circulates through the lid, and flows back down the walls for full grill coverage.
🔥 Heat Distribution: Creates consistent indirect heat — perfect for wings, roasts, or anything needing a crispy outside without flare-ups.
You Get:
🔥 Crispy chicken skin without burning
🔥 Juicy, evenly cooked meat
🔥 Charcoal efficiency — more power, less fuel
Want to reverse sear? Start indirect over the cone, then finish directly above for that perfect crust!
💡 Why Choose the Kettle Cone?
✅ Wings Like Never Before
Get that deep-fried crunch without the oil. The vortex heat is a game-changer.
✅ Even, Consistent Heat
Say goodbye to flare-ups and flipping — enjoy a stable, high-heat cooking zone.
Made from 2 mm Australian Mild Steel, the Kettle Cone delivers:
✅ Quick heat-up time
✅ Optimal heat retention
✅ Rugged strength and durability
✅ Minimal warping even under high temps
Why 2 mm Mild Steel? We tested multiple materials and found 2 mm to be the sweet spot — thick enough to retain serious heat, yet efficient enough to fire up fast without wasting fuel on heating the cone itself.

🌟 Why Do We Use "Mild Steel" Instead of "Stainless Steel"?
✅ Superior Heat Retention
Mild steel heats up faster and holds heat better than stainless. This means:
Faster coal ignition
More even and sustained heat
Better performance in high-temp cooks
Stainless steel tends to reflect heat, while mild steel absorbs and radiates it, giving you that consistent, powerful BBQ zone you want.
✅ Ideal for Seasoning (Like a Cast Iron Pan)
Mild steel can be seasoned with oil to create a natural, non-stick and rust-resistant surface, much like cast iron cookware. Over time, it develops a tough, protective coating that:
Improves with use
Enhances flavor over time
Helps prevent rust when looked after properly
Stainless steel can't be seasoned the same way, and once it discolors or blisters under high heat, there's no going back.
✅ Stronger and More Durable Under High Heat
Stainless can become brittle or warp under extreme or prolonged heat, especially thin, cheaper grades used in some BBQ accessories.
Our 2mm mild steel can handle repeated high-temp abuse — it’s less likely to warp or degrade likestainless-steeland is built to last years with proper care.
✅ Cost-Effective Without Sacrificing Strength
High-quality stainless is expensive — and often unnecessary for outdoor cooking tools that don’t need corrosion resistance as their main feature. Mild steel gives you:
Better performance for the price
More thickness, more durability
A BBQ tool that performs like commercial gear
🧼 Maintenance Is Easy:
Just like cast iron: apply a thin layer of cooking oil after use
Store dry and covered if possible
Season it well and it will only get better with age
Mild steel performs better, costs less, and lasts longer when treated right. It’s what serious BBQers and pitmasters prefer — and it’s why we use it in our gear at Smokey BBQ Bits.

Didn’t like the original grate that came with the Weber GA , so Wes from Smokey BBQ Bits reached out and suggested these steel ones. Absolutely blown away with how well they season and how very fairly priced they are. Will always go back to them now for any future purchases. Great company.
