Primo Heat Deflector Plates for Oval JR 200 — Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Primo Heat Deflector Plates for Oval JR 200?
These are a pair of ceramic deflector plates (model PG00325) designed to convert your Primo Oval JR 200 grill into an indirect cooking setup, enabling you to roast, smoke, or bake by shielding food from direct heat.
How do I use them (alone or together)?
You can use one plate to partially deflect heat (allowing direct cooking on the other side) or use both plates together for full indirect mode. They must sit on a compatible rack or drip pan support (e.g. Primo Heat Deflector / Drip Pan Rack) for proper placement and airflow.
What are the specifications (weight, dimensions, material)?
• Material: Ceramic
• Total weight (set): ~ 8.9 lb
• Dimensions per plate: ~ 15.125″ × 3″ × 12.25″ (for the D-shaped plates)
Which grill models are they compatible with?
They are made specifically for the Primo Oval JR 200 model (Oval Junior). They may not fit properly into other Oval models without misalignment or clearance issues.
What are the advantages of using heat deflector plates?
• Creates a more uniform indirect cooking zone by blocking direct flame impact.
• Allows slower, gentler cooking for meats, fish, or baking.
• Can reduce flare-ups and help maintain temperature control.
• Flexible use: one plate allows hybrid cooking (direct + indirect); two plates enable full indirect setup.
