GasSaf Heat Plate for Select Turbo BBQ Replacement Parts, 16.5 inch Briquette Tray for Turbo Sts, Elite, Classic Gas Grills, 4-Pack Stainless Steel Heat Plates for Nexgrill Grill Parts(16 1/2 x 6 1/2)

BACKGROUND - I'm one of those people who never seems to quite get it right when it comes to retrofitting an older device, appliance or piece of equipment with a replacement non-OEM part. Well, this time I nailed it and these replacement ceramic briquette trays get all the credit. I have a 4 burner BBQ Galore Turbo STS grill that is at least 10 years old (was here when we bought the house so I don't know the true age). The grill has been cleaned out several times, had the starter/ignitor replaced twice and the propane hose replaced once. But I had never replaced the original rectangular ceramic plates that sat just under the grill grates to distribute the heat. Two of them had cracks and they just seemed ripe for replacement. After reading reviews here about these briquette trays and taking measurements I bought a 4-pack. It took 5 minutes to swap out the old single piece tray and ceramic plates to replace them with these. With one exception, they were a perfect fit inside my 26" wide 4-burner fire box. The one CHALLENGE - The one exception/challenge is inside the grill on the right side towards the front where there is some type of metal tube or air flue that runs up the side. It seems to be screwed into the grill and I didn't want to remove it or try to modify it. (I circled it in one of the three pictures I attached). It interferes with the ability for that last tray to fit inside. My solution was to remove one briquette in the area where the tube would come up and use some pliers to bend the metal of the tray to create room for that tube to fit thru. Pretty easy for a guy who isn't very handy. NOTE - One other difference to note is that these trays sit a little higher in the firebox than the originals. The briquettes will now be a little closer to the grates so there could be some increased flareups, although I haven't really experienced much of an increase. In my opinion the better heat distribution from the briquettes is worth any trade off in potentially having more flareups. BOTTOM LINE - These trays have completely revitalized my grill. I was thinking about replacing the entire grill but for about $75 in new trays I think I've put that off for a few years. My grill now gets hotter faster and the heat is much more evenly distributed than with the previous rectangular ceramic plates. You can probably tell how even and symmetric the distribution of the briquettes is in the second photo I posted. In fact, the improvement has been so significant that I'm still retraining my brain to forget where the old hot spots and cool spots of the grill were since that has all changed. I'll plan to update this review in a few months after I've cooked on it many more times with a variety of items.

Well made, perfectly crafted and attractive replacement panels. The briquettes are included and come already installed-something I didn’t expect. The price is very reasonable

Second time getting this and for someone who uses their grill a ton, it fits great in my grill and good quality for the price.

Item arrived in good packaging. I bought this knowing I had to trim the 16.5" length to 14" to fit in my grill I almost used a Dremel or snips but decided on dewalt's 18ga shear attachment (DWASHRIR) for a drill. Clean enough cut. I used the cut piece to strengthen the end of what was cut (drilled 1/4" hole to reuse the nut/bolt). Took about 1.5 hour to disassemble, cut,drill,re-assemble all the pieces. Hope this can last a few seasons for an old 38" grill!

Works perfectly with older Turbo Built-in Grille

looking for replacements for my BBQ grill I came across these and decided to give them a try. They fit Perfect and do an excellent job, I would however heat them up and burn off the residue, they had a slight smell to them on the first use and it took a bit to get rid of it....wouldn't want any chemical residue cooking into the burgers. But they heat evenly and fit the bill and reasonable on the pricing. Happy overall with the initial use.

I was lucky to find these plates/trays on Amazon because they're $60 each from BBQ Galore. It fit my 20-30 year old CG3TDN which my home's old owners had installed. The original trays were rusted beyond belief. These trays fit perfectly and I'm hoping they last a few years. I had bought a set of ceramic briquettes to replace on my old trays but I'll just keep them handy if the ones on this set start to break apart any time soon. These have screws to hold the top plate to the bottom plate, but my original set used clips. Not sure if I'll even be able to get the screws out after a while of use, but it's worth the gamble since these were a great price.

Good fit for grill master BBQ. Only concern is the metal seems thin and I expect it will burn through and I would have preferred. They use some heavier gauge metal.
