Bull 16631 Grill Heat Plates Shield 17" 🍖

This set of 17" stainless steel heat plates from Terefour helps protect burners and distribute heat more evenly while grilling, making it easier to achieve consistent sear and smoke without flare-ups. Made as a replacement for multiple Bull, Cal Flame and other compatible gas grill models, these plates are intended to catch drippings and reduce direct flame contact for a more controlled cooking surface.

Key Points

These heat shields are constructed from 1.5 mm (16 GA) stainless steel, which is thicker and heavier than many aftermarket alternatives, and that thickness contributes to longer life and better heat retention. They cover a wide range of compatible models including several Bull grill part numbers and many Cal Flame Series G and P models. The smooth surface resists sharp edges and makes cleaning with soapy water straightforward, and the design helps trap grease to prevent burner damage and reduce flare-ups.

Benefits

By shielding burners from direct drips, these plates reduce the chance of flame flares and help protect the burner tubes from corrosive grease. The thicker 1.5 mm stainless steel holds heat and helps create a more uniform cooking temperature across the grill grates according to the manufacturer. Also, when drippings vaporize on the plates they can add a mild smoky flavor back into foods, which contributes to that backyard barbecue character.

Usage Recommendations

Install the plates so they sit directly over the burners and beneath the cooking grates, ensuring they align with the grill’s original supports for secure placement. Clean them with warm soapy water after heavy use and check periodically for excessive pitting or warping, especially if your grill sees frequent high-heat cooking. Consider that, while thicker than many replacements, prolonged exposure to very high flame and acidic drippings may eventually affect stainless steel over time.
