Product Description
All About Deflector Plates for the Primo XL Oval
Deflector plates are the key to turning your Primo XL Oval into a true multi-purpose cooker. By blocking and redirecting rising heat, they create the indirect cooking setup essential for low & slow barbecue, or they can be used to split the grill into dual temperature zones for versatile grilling.
Most Common Uses
- Two Plates on Racks: Full indirect setup for smoking and long barbecue cooks.
- One Plate on a Rack: Divided setup for two-zone grilling — one fire side, one indirect side.
Two Brand Options
We offer both Primo brand and Ceramic Grill Store (CGS) brand deflector plates:
- Both are “D” shaped and made to the same thickness.
- CGS plates provide slightly more coverage with longer straight edges and sharper corners.
- Packaging: Primo plates are sold as a pair. CGS plates are available individually or as a pair.

How Deflector Plates Work
Deflector plates sit between the fire and your food, blocking direct flames and distributing heat evenly.
- Smoking BBQ: Use a pair of plates for a full indirect setup.
- Two-Zone Grilling: Place one plate over the non-fire side to create direct and indirect zones.

Deflector Racks are Required
Deflector racks (sold separately) are necessary to hold the plates beneath the cooking grids. Each plate requires a rack:
- The rack drops inside the fire bowl, supporting the plate directly under the cooking grid.
- Setup is simple: place the rack, set the plate, then add your cooking grid in the up position.
Rack Options
We also offer Primo racks and Ceramic Grill Store racks:
- CGS racks add more flexibility, easier lump access, and the ability to hold a wok.
- Sold in pairs
