17 in Emitter Plates for Char-Broil Tru-Infrared 4-Burner - Durable

Our review of the 17 in emitter plates for Char-Broil Tru-Infrared 4-burner grills finds them most useful for owners who need a direct, compatible replacement that restores even heat and reduces flare-ups. These replacement emitter plates are sold as a 3-pack and match original Char-Broil part G533-2200-W1 and several related part numbers, so the single biggest reason to buy is fit compatibility combined with upgraded stamped 304 stainless steel construction for improved corrosion resistance and reduced warping under high heat.

Key Features

• Exact fit compatibility: Matches Char-Broil original part number G533-2200-W1 and multiple listed part numbers so installation is straightforward for compatible models.
• Upgraded material: Stamped 304 stainless steel construction is thicker than older plates and aims to resist warping during high-heat grilling.
• Even heat distribution: The many holes in the emitter surface disperse burner heat across the cooking area to reduce hot spots and promote even cooking.
• Reduced flare-ups: The emitter design channels drips and heat to minimize flare-ups, helping keep food juicier and preventing burn spots.
• Packaged set: Sold as a 3-pack of 17 in by 10 in emitter plates, providing replacements for a 4-burner configuration or spare parts for future use.
• Multiple model fit: Also noted as fitting certain Kmart and Kenmore listings and several Char-Broil commercial and performance Tru-Infrared models, broadening compatibility.

Who It's For

This set is best for Char-Broil Tru-Infrared grill owners who need a direct replacement for worn or warped emitter plates and who value a thicker, corrosion-resistant material over cheaper stamped steel. It suits backyard cooks who want more even heat and fewer flare-ups without changing burners or other components.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners with grills that use different emitter shapes or dimensions than 17 in by 10 in, or buyers seeking lifetime-issue rustproofing beyond what 304 stainless offers; some customers reported mixed long-term material performance, so heavy salt-air or coastal users may prefer specialized marine-grade options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fit for listed Char-Broil part numbers, which simplifies replacement of OEM plates.
• Thicker stamped 304 stainless steel reduces the risk of warping during regular high-heat use.
• Holes in the surface distribute heat evenly and help limit flare-ups, improving cooking consistency.
• Three plates in the package give you full coverage for a 4-burner set or spares for later.

Cons

• Material durability drew mixed reports from customers, with some noting rust after months in challenging environments.
• Not a universal replacement; customers must measure the 17 in by 10 in size to confirm compatibility before ordering.
