Great quality

Perfect Fit for my grill! Thanks!

BACKGROUND - I'm one of those people who never seems to quite get it right when it comes to retrofitting an older device, appliance or piece of equipment with a replacement non-OEM part. Well, this time I nailed it and these replacement ceramic briquette trays get all the credit. I have a 4 burner BBQ Galore Turbo STS grill that is at least 10 years old (was here when we bought the house so I don't know the true age). The grill has been cleaned out several times, had the starter/ignitor replaced twice and the propane hose replaced once. But I had never replaced the original rectangular ceramic plates that sat just under the grill grates to distribute the heat. Two of them had cracks and they just seemed ripe for replacement. After reading reviews here about these briquette trays and taking measurements I bought a 4-pack. It took 5 minutes to swap out the old single piece tray and ceramic plates to replace them with these. With one exception, they were a perfect fit inside my 26" wide 4-burner fire box.The one CHALLENGE - The one exception/challenge is inside the grill on the right side towards the front where there is some type of metal tube or air flue that runs up the side. It seems to be screwed into the grill and I didn't want to remove it or try to modify it. (I circled it in one of the three pictures I attached). It interferes with the ability for that last tray to fit inside. My solution was to remove one briquette in the area where the tube would come up and use some pliers to bend the metal of the tray to create room for that tube to fit thru. Pretty easy for a guy who isn't very handy.NOTE - One other difference to note is that these trays sit a little higher in the firebox than the originals. The briquettes will now be a little closer to the grates so there could be some increased flareups, although I haven't really experienced much of an increase. In my opinion the better heat distribution from the briquettes is worth any trade off in potentially having more flareups.BOTTOM LINE - These trays have completely revitalized my grill. I was thinking about replacing the entire grill but for about $75 in new trays I think I've put that off for a few years. My grill now gets hotter faster and the heat is much more evenly distributed than with the previous rectangular ceramic plates. You can probably tell how even and symmetric the distribution of the briquettes is in the second photo I posted. In fact, the improvement has been so significant that I'm still retraining my brain to forget where the old hot spots and cool spots of the grill were since that has all changed. I'll plan to update this review in a few months after I've cooked on it many more times with a variety of items.

Item arrived in good packaging.I bought this knowing I had to trim the 16.5" length to 14" to fit in my grillI almost used a Dremel or snips but decided on dewalt's 18ga shear attachment (DWASHRIR) for a drill. Clean enough cut. I used the cut piece to strengthen the end of what was cut (drilled 1/4" hole to reuse the nut/bolt). Took about 1.5 hour to disassemble, cut,drill,re-assemble all the pieces.Hope this can last a few seasons for an old 38" grill!

perfect replace for the old briquettes

Excellent replacement items and great price for three of them (which I need to cover the whole surface).

Great product
