Tru-Infrared Emitter Stainless Steel Grate 18 3/8 in - 4-Pack

In this review the Tru-Infrared emitter grates are evaluated as a cost-effective replacement for pre-2015 Char-Broil 4-burner grills. The set of four stamped stainless steel top emitter grates measures 18 3/8 in x 7 5/8 in each and is aimed at owners who need to restore even heat distribution and reliable performance without replacing the entire burner assembly. The single biggest reason to buy is the straightforward fit and sturdy stainless construction, which in many reports improves cooking consistency and is easier to clean than older originals.

Key Features

• Exact dimensions: Each grate is 18 3/8 in x 7 5/8 in, supplying a full 18 3/8 in x 30 1/2 in coverage as a set of four for consistent burner coverage.
• Stamped stainless steel: The emitter grates are made from heat- and corrosion-resistant material intended to extend the life of the top cooking surface.
• Perforated design: The bottom perforated piece helps distribute heat evenly across the cooking area to reduce hot and cold spots.
• Wide model compatibility: Fits many pre-2015 Char-Broil commercial, Performance Tru-Infrared, Precision Flame and Quantum 4-burner models, making it a flexible replacement option.
• Easy to clean: Customers report the stainless top pieces are simpler to wipe and maintain than older coated grates, saving maintenance time.
• Top pieces only: The kit replaces the top emitter grates only, allowing simple parts swap when tray or tray grid replacements are not required.

Who It's For

This kit is for owners of pre-2015 Char-Broil 4-burner grills who need a direct replacement for the top emitter grates and want a durable stainless option that often fits better than worn originals. It is also suitable for anyone who values easier cleaning and even heat across the grill surface.

It is not for people who need the tray, full burner assemblies, or any parts other than the top emitter pieces; buyers should measure their original parts before ordering to confirm the 18 3/8 in x 7 5/8 in size matches. Those expecting a porcelain-coated finish or guaranteed lifelong rust immunity should consider alternate options or plan for regular maintenance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fit across many pre-2015 Char-Broil 4-burner models, improving replacement value.

Cons

• Top pieces only; buyer must supply the tray or grid in tray separately if needed.
