Thanks! Is this the deflector? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009E8NATC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1519660334&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Akorn+deflector&dpPl=1&dpID=31CljtEArKL&ref=plSrch
I heard that about the temp being hard to drop -- I'll try to be conscious of that. I want to get it now so I'll hopefully have a decent idea by time summer comes.
Any probe you recommend? I have a thermapen, so set on the instant read.
Appreciate the advice!
I've found that with my egg knock-off (Char Griller Acorn Kamado) the restriction of airflow is a good thing. The convection caused by the shape of these smokers is fantastic for cooking at high temps, and reducing the amount of fuel you need to use, but I suspect it's this very convection that's "grabbing" air from the vent on the top, and pulling oxygen down to the coals.
After I put the stone in place, I found that the temperature was MUCH easier to control.
Do you have the smoking stone?

The Akorn seems like it would cover both bases quite well. The only issue is that I've never bbq'd with charcoal lol.
Yeah I also use a chimney for normal cooking. I think it would be way too hot for smoking if you light with the chimney.
Char broil makes their own diffuser which is what I have:
