Know before you buy
These panels act as a heat shield that blocks direct flames while conducting heat more efficiently. By concentrating that energy, they can increase the surface temperature by 100°F or more, which is essential for achieving a professional-grade sear.
Yes, the panels are reversible. You can use the rails-up side for traditional searing and grill marks, or flip them over to the flat side to create a solid griddle surface perfect for smash burgers, fish, or delicate vegetables.
Absolutely. Because the panels cover the firebox, they prevent fat drippings from hitting the coals directly, which is the primary cause of flare-ups. This design allows the drippings to vaporize on the hot grates, adding flavor back into your food without the risk of burning it.
No, the installation is entirely tool-free. The panels are designed to interlock and sit directly on top of your existing grill surface, making them easy to set up or remove for cleaning.
The hard-anodized finish is rust-resistant and durable. You can clean them by scraping off debris while they are warm using the included GrateTool, and they can be washed with mild soap and water if a deeper clean is needed.
