Primo Large Oval Heat Deflector Plates - PG00326

Deflector plates are the key to turning your Primo Large Oval into a true multi-purpose cooker. By blocking and redirecting rising heat, these plates create the indirect cooking environment needed for low & slow barbecue, two-zone grilling, and consistent top-down convection. Most Common Uses Two Plates on Racks: Full indirect setup for long barbecue cooks. One Plate on a Rack: Creates direct and indirect zones for two-zone grilling. Two Brand Options We offer both Large Primo OEM deflector plates and Large Ceramic Grill Store (CGS) plates: Both are D-shaped and made to the same thickness. CGS plates offer slightly more coverage thanks to longer straight edges. Packaging: Primo and CGS plates sold as a pair. Primo Deflector Plates (OEM) CGS Deflector Plates How Deflector Plates Work Deflector plates sit between the fire and your food, creating a barrier for stable and consistent indirect heat. Smoking / BBQ: Use two plates for a full indirect cook. Two-Zone Grilling: Use one plate over the non-fire side. Primo Set-up CGS Set-up Deflector Racks Are Required Each plate requires a deflector rack (sold separately) to sit at the correct height beneath the cooking grids. How the Racks Work The rack drops inside the fire bowl to support the plate under the cooking grid. Setup is simple: place the rack → set the plate → add the cooking grid in the up position. Rack Options Both Primo OEM racks and Ceramic Grill Store (CGS) racks are available: CGS racks offer more flexibility, easier lump access, and wok capability. All rack options are sold in pairs.
