Boloda Heat Plate Shields & Ceramic Rod Kit — Direct-Fit Stainless 3-Plate, 18-Rod (Fits DCS 27/36/48)

Boloda stainless steel heat plate shields are direct-fit replacement radiant trays and ceramic rod burner covers engineered to restore even heat distribution and protect burners in compatible DCS grill models.

If your DCS or compatible gas grill shows uneven cooking, flare-ups, or spent ceramic rods and warped heat plates, replacing those worn components with a matched set can bring performance back to intended levels. This Boloda kit bundles stainless steel heat plates and ceramic rod covers sized to fit many DCS and related models, offering corrosion resistance and heavier-gauge construction than common aftermarket parts.

Which grill models does this Boloda replacement set fit?

This kit is designed for a wide range of DCS / Dynamic Cooking Systems models and closely related model numbers used across 27", 36", and 48" grills. Check your grill's model tag or owner manual to confirm compatibility before ordering.

• Compatible with many DCS codes such as 27DBQ, 36DBQAR, 48DBQAR, DCS36E-BQARN and similar listings.
• Includes fits for BGA/BGB family models (for example BGA36-BQAR, BGB48-BQAR) and several BG/BG-series variants.
• Works for both older and later DCS line variants when dimensions match the tray and rod layout.

What pieces are included and what are their dimensions?

The package supplies multiple ceramic rod sets and stainless heat plates sized for direct replacement. Measuring the existing parts ensures the replacement will seat and bolt up correctly in the burner cavity.

• Kit contents: 18 ceramic rods arranged as six 3-packs and three stainless steel heat plates (packaged as an 18-piece set of rods and 3 plates).
• Heat plate dimensions: approximately 18 5/8" long by 9 7/8" wide per plate.
• Material and weight: heavier-gauge stainless steel designed for higher durability and heat resistance than thinner aftermarket options.

How do these replacement parts improve grill performance?

Fresh heat plates and intact ceramic rods help achieve even heat, reduce flare-ups, and protect burner tubes from drippings. Upgrading to sturdy stainless plates helps extend the service life of the radiant system and keeps flame patterns consistent.

• Stainless steel resists rust and holds shape under repeated heating cycles.
• Ceramic rods evenly radiate heat across the cooking surface, reducing hot and cold spots.
• Shields block direct drippings from hitting burners, lowering flare-up frequency and protecting burners.

What should I know about installation and maintenance?

Installation is typically straightforward for anyone comfortable removing grates and access panels; basic hand tools are usually sufficient. Routine inspection and occasional replacement of ceramic rods keeps the radiant system functioning well.

• Turn off gas and allow the grill to cool fully before starting installation.
• Remove grates and original heat plates/rods, compare dimensions, then position Boloda plates and rods in the same arrangement.
• Wipe plates clean after heavy use; ceramic rods are replaceable when cracked or heavily soiled.

Who is this kit for? Grill owners with DCS or compatible grills who need a durable, OEM-style radiant tray and ceramic rod replacement to restore even heating and to protect burners. It’s ideal for DIY maintenance and for anyone replacing corroded, warped, or missing heat plates and exhausted ceramic rods. Confirm your grill model and measurements before purchase to ensure a correct fit; if you keep your grill in heavy use, this heavier stainless set provides a long-lasting upgrade over thin, rust-prone alternatives.
