Excellent replacement!

My old grill plates rusted and I needed a replacement. This is a great price for 4 plates. I looked around and this was the best deal on the internet. Quality is good and shipment was fast!

Pros
  • Dimensions: 15 3/8 X 3 1/2 inch
Cons
  • The bars may require replacement after just a few uses, defeating the purpose of long-term savings

Worked fine good for me

Mine were the 4inch width and was pretty easy to widen a bit as these are 3.5 inch ones. Just used several pieces of wood clmped in a vice then some big pliers to bend a bit.

Pros
  • they worked just needed a little fine tuning
Cons
  • Noisy and disruptive during high-temperature conditions

I bought a Master Forge Model No. 2518-3 at Lowe's about 5 years ago. It's been a great grill but after 5 years the elements have rotted out. I had difficulty finding comfort in purchasing the right ones for my grill. These replacement heat plates seem to be of high quality, they slid right in without a problem.I also bought "bbq factory Replacement Stainless Steel Burners" (the 4 pack) for this grill as well. They work great!

Pros
  • replace the ones that came with my CharBroil with these and see a more uniform heat throughout the grill
Cons
  • Poor customer service response

No full reported length due to cutouts at the ends

Misleading measurements. While these are technically 15 3/8” long, notice that they have receding cutouts at the ends making them much shorter where those cutouts are. Not good if you need the full length (if your grill needs them to rest at the apex of the heat tent). I’ll be returning because they don’t work for me due to these cutouts.

Pros
  • ➤Fits Perfect Flame Models: 24137, 24138, 2518SL-LPG, 2518SL-NG, 2518SLN-LPG. ➤Fits Uniflame Models: GBC831WB, GBC831WB-C.
Cons
  • The bars may require a lot of maintenance to keep it looking new

Rusted through in 2 years

These heat plates look great and fit fine.trouble is, two years later and I need another set. The quality of the "stainless" is in question as my first set of these has rusted through in less than two years. It still beats buying a whole new grill.

Pros
  • Home Depot wants 20 bucks a peice for these, and these are much thicker and nicer.
Cons
  • Tends to warp very quickly

master forge 1010037

Bought these for my master forge 1010037 and bent the tabs in to make them fit because the 14 7/8 ones they list are too short for this grill. Nice heavy covers that work well. Usually last a year with heavy grilling but for the price that is expected

Pros
  • These new Heat Plate Tents added new life to my older BBQ. Easy to replace.
Cons
  • Non-uniform heat distribution while cooking

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pretty good on my review.

I decided not to go for the ones that are the same brand as my grill because it was going to cost me about three times as much to do that. Unfortunately I did not measure the size quite right and the Hongso ones were about a 1/2 inch too narrow. I was able to squash them a bit and now they fit -nearly- perfectly. That was my fault. My only complaint is that I've been using them for two months and the topside of them are changing color. Not the blackened color like the rest of the inside of my…

Pros
  • Can't say enough about these. Great replacements for my ceramic coated models and at a great price.
Cons
  • Offers less value for the price paid compared to other brands

They work as designed

The heat plates work fine. I had to modify my grill a bit to make them work. Cut mounting slots. Just because they were slightly narrower than mo original heat Plates.

Pros
  • Solid and fit well.
Cons
  • Can easily get discolored with each use

Not quiet a Perfect fit.

Not quiet a Perfect fit.But work better than the Old Burnt ones. Use My Grill wekly year round and their holding up. Couldn't beat the $$ ! Great. I'll replace again with the same.

Pros
  • Seems to be ok, same size as original
Cons
  • The product may not be very durable, and the bars may break after a few uses

easy to make shorter, works good for my grill

These were a little too long and too wide for my grill but they were easy to modify. The way they are made you can bend the tabs at each end and make them shorter and that is what I did. Then I squeezed them in my vice to make them narrower. I only needed two so I put one in a bucket of water to see if it would rust. It looks like new after 3 weeks in water so I'm happy with the content of stainless steel.

Pros
  • Pretty decent value for the cost
Cons
  • Bars may flake off after a single use

Appears to be good vaslue

I purchased TWO sets of these heat shields for an all stainless steel grill I bought last year from Lowes. I have had bad experiences in the past with steel heat shields for wearing out only after a few seasons.The other components that also suffers from the extreme heat are the grates, no matter what the manufacturers say.The heat shields on my grill after less than one year of use are discolored, but not deteriorated yet. They are definitely made of low grade SS, not like the burners, which…

Pros
  • just had to bend them a little to fit
Cons
  • The bars may deform over time

Great product! good for me

Shiny stainless steel burner covers. They fit fine. The edges are slightly sharp, so you have to watch it when removing them from the plastic bags and handling . They are of sufficient guage, so they should last years. My originals lasted 5 years. These should last the rest of the life of the grill. (Changed the burners 2 years back). I have the master forge 4 burned all stainless gas grill.

Pros
  • it was what it said and it worked...no complaints
Cons
  • The bars may get stuck if users do not clean the grill regularly

Tight fit but fixable!

They are exactly like the stock shields for my master forge grill except that I had to put them in vise give em’ a slight squeeze to get them to the right width to fit other than that awesome

Pros
  • These products are sturdy and fit the brand as listed. It will extend the life of our grill.
Cons
  • Customers have reported the bars melting over high heat

Can't beat the Price!

I received the heat shields the next day and was grilling by 5PM that same day. These heat shields are not much different from the factory Kenmore that cost $40-$50 each! Will they rust?.of course they will but I'd rather replace a set of $14 shields yearly over paying $200-$250 every few years for the Kenmore shields (I've had the Kenmore stainless steel grill for 3 years, use it 2-3 times per week, and the heat shields are beyond usable).They don't fit perfect but they really don't have to…

Pros
  • Patio, Lawn & Garden
Cons
  • The bars may lead to increased energy consumption

Nice and Strong good for me

These were the perfect fit for my grill. I only needed three of the four but it was still a great value. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • I had to flatten them out to fit my grill. Not hard to do
Cons
  • Weak material that can rust easily

Product as promised

My husband was very pleased with me ordering this for him. Loved the stainless for this great price. Easy to install did not fit my correctly grill as stated in the item description, but they worked..

Pros
  • Very easy to install and does fit well, but is more open at the ends.
Cons
  • did not fit my correctly grill as stated in the item description, but they worked.

Perfect and MUCH cheaper than OEM

I purchased these for my father a few months ago after hearing him moan and groan about the grill needing some parts. He was so happy when they arrived. Not only do they look really stylish, they work as good as the OEM parts which can be considerably more expensive. Well done!

Pros
  • Just as advertised, quick shipping, very happy with purchase
Cons
  • The plates may rust if not cleaned and stored carefully

Burner Covers are working great.

I have had these installed for about two months and they work great. They absolutely do not warp when heated. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Not exact fit but works well
Cons
  • The plates do not heat up uniformly, resulting in uneven cooking

What I was looking for

Had been looking for Stainless Steel Heat Shields for my Master Forge 4 burner grill. First ones ordered didn't fit, these fit very well. As of yet, haven't used the grill, but these should work fine. Pleased with the purchase.

Pros
  • There were not as wide as i needed them to be but all in all they work well
Cons
  • Hard to find a replacement for a specific grill model

Revainrating 5 out of 5

perfect at an amazing price

These look and feel very quality and I am impressed. I installed them and they fit great. We bought some from the local store that weren't anywhere as nice as these for nearly twice the price and the store ones were not stainless steel and rusted. I highly recommend these.

Pros
  • Great product great price will be back to shop some more
Cons
  • The product may take far too long to arrive
