Dyna-Glo Heat Plates & Heat Shields
Heat plates are one of the first Dyna-Glo grill parts to wear out — they take the brunt of grease drips and direct flame exposure. Replacing worn heat plates eliminates hot spots, reduces flare-ups, and extends the life of your burner tubes. Find the right replacement set for your model below.

Heat Plate FAQ
What do heat plates do on a Dyna-Glo grill?
Heat plates (also called flame tamers, heat shields, or flavorizer bars) sit between the burners and cooking grates. They serve three purposes: (1) distribute heat evenly across the cooking surface, (2) protect burner tubes from grease drips that cause corrosion, and (3) vaporize dripping juices to create smoky flavor.
How do I know when to replace my Dyna-Glo heat plates?
Replace heat plates when you see rust-through holes, heavy corrosion, warping, or flaking porcelain coating. Bad heat plates cause uneven heating, hot spots, and more frequent flare-ups. Most heat plates last 1-3 grilling seasons depending on usage and cleaning.
Can I use stainless steel heat plates instead of porcelain?
Yes — stainless steel heat plates are a popular aftermarket upgrade. They typically last longer than porcelain-coated plates because stainless steel resists rust and corrosion better. Make sure the dimensions match your model exactly.
