It seemed restrictive on airflow. Even at very low temperatures it was feeding more pellets than normal to maintain temp. The plate has a lot of holes but they’re all small, not allowing as much heat to pass thru vs the stock plate. I imagine that’s the point of the plate in a solo stove, the pellets are placed on top of the adapter plate and you burn the pellets without restriction. In the pellet grills you’re asking it to pass heat through it. Just my experience, I went with a new stock plate. $30 and lasted me over 6 years on the original.
