Heat deflector plates are what stand between the coals and the food in a Primo Oval X-Large, and this listing is the two-piece set for that size. Both pieces are in the box, and they suit the Oval X-Large firebox only.
Blocking the fire's direct line does two jobs at once. It stops the underside of the food racing ahead of the top, and it lets the grill settle at a low, even temperature instead of climbing. That is the setup behind every long cook — pork shoulder, beef ribs, a turkey — and it is what baking wants too, since a stone over an open fire will scorch the base of a pizza well before the top has set.
The plates need the Primo Heat Deflector Rack/Drip Pan Rack for Oval X-Large to sit on, which is sold on its own, and the Primo Half Drip Pan Oval X-Large goes above them to catch fat. For bread and pizza work, the Primo Oval Fredstone baking stone for the Oval X-Large gives you a cooking surface once the fire is running indirect. Fits the Primo Oval X-Large ceramic charcoal grill and the Oval X-Large Jack Daniel's Edition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, this set is made for the Oval X-Large. Deflector plates are size-specific across the Primo range because each firebox is a different shape, so plates from another model will not sit flat. Buy the set named for the grill you own and fit is not something you have to think about again.
A pair. The title says two-piece and that is exactly what arrives: two plates that together form the barrier over the Oval X-Large firebox. Using both gives you full indirect heat; using one leaves part of the fire open if you want a hot zone alongside a cool one.
Yes, if you do not already own it. The rack is the frame that holds the plates clear of the coals, and it is a separate listing from the plates themselves. For this grill that is the Primo Heat Deflector Rack/Drip Pan Rack for Oval X-Large.
That is one of the better reasons to own them. Baking on charcoal falls apart if the fire radiates straight onto the underside of the food, so the deflector goes in first and the baking surface goes above it. Bread, pies and pizza all behave once the heat is indirect.
No. The Large plates are cut for the Large firebox and will not seat correctly in the X-Large, which leaves gaps for heat to shoot through and undoes the point of fitting them. Match the plate to the grill size every time.
