Know before you buy
Yes, the Heat Deflector Rack is designed to hold the ceramic plates, which are sold separately. The rack acts as the mounting system to position those plates correctly within your grill.
This rack is specifically engineered for indirect cooking. While it can remain in the grill, it is intended to support heat deflectors or drip pans rather than acting as a primary cooking surface for direct heat.
You should select the rack that matches your specific Primo model: Oval Jr 200, Oval Large 300, or Oval XL 400. Because the rack is designed for a precise fit, it is not universal across all Primo grill sizes.
It does. By using the rack to hold a drip pan beneath your food, you can catch grease and drippings before they hit the firebox, which significantly reduces the amount of cleaning required after a cook.
No, the rack is designed for simple, drop-in installation. It fits directly into your grill's interior to provide a stable base for your deflectors or drip pans without the need for tools.
