Huntington 18431 Stainless Steel Heat Plate

Product Description

The HUNTINGTON 18431 is a stainless steel heat plate designed for use in gas barbecue grills. Heat plates, also called flame tamers or heat shields, sit above the burners to distribute heat evenly across the cooking surface, protect burner tubes from grease and debris, and reduce flare-ups during cooking. This replacement component is constructed from stainless steel, offering resistance to the high-heat and corrosive environment inside a grill. Installation is typically performed by grill service technicians or experienced DIYers during routine maintenance or after burner-system damage.

The 18431 heat plate is suited for residential gas grill applications. It is a direct replacement part within the HUNTINGTON barbecue line, intended for grill owners and service technicians replacing worn, warped, or corroded heat plates. Proper heat plate function is essential for consistent cooking temperatures and long-term burner protection. This part falls under HUNTINGTON Parts and Accessories and is consistent with standard grill replacement part service intervals.
