BQMAX Flame Tamper for Blackstone Tailgater 1555 RP 90407 Replacement Heat Shield — Single-Pack, Even Heat Distribution

BQMAX Flame Tamper for Blackstone Tailgater 1555 is a direct-fit RP 90407 replacement heat shield that restores even heat distribution and protects burners on Blackstone Tailgater griddles.

If your Blackstone Tailgater 1555/1827/1550 griddle shows hot spots, scorch marks, or the original flame tamper is damaged or missing, this BQMAX replacement provides an affordable, precise solution. Manufactured to match the original RP 90407 profile, the tamper slides into place without modification and helps the cooking surface heat more consistently so food finishes evenly across the griddle.

How does this flame tamper improve cooking performance?

The flame tamper (heat shield) spreads heat from the burner across the griddle by conducting and storing thermal energy. That reduces localized flare-ups and prevents the familiar burned center or cold edges, producing a more uniform cooking plane.

• Exact dimensions: 15 3/16" x 15 1/8" to fit Tailgater RP 90407 slots.
• Designed to shield burners from drips and direct flame contact.
• Improves heat retention for steadier surface temperature during searing.

Will this part fit my Blackstone Tailgater model?

Yes—this BQMAX flame tamper is intended as a replacement for the OEM part RP 90407 and matches the Tailgater 1555, 1827, and 1550 griddle/grill combo models. Measure your original part to confirm fit if you are unsure.

• Compatible with Blackstone Tailgater 2-burner combos and similar RP 90407 holders.
• One-piece tamper supplied in a single-pack for quick swap-out.
• No cutting or alteration typically required for installation.

How simple is installation and maintenance?

Installation is straightforward: remove the old heat shield and slide the BQMAX tamper into the same mounting position. Maintenance is low effort—wipe after use and remove accumulated grease periodically to keep burners protected and airflow clear.

• Fast, tool-light swap—usually painless and under 10 minutes.
• Wipe clean with a cloth; deep clean with mild detergent if needed.
• Replacing a damaged shield prevents burner clogging from drips and debris.

What materials and performance can I expect?

The replacement heat shield is engineered for good thermal conductivity and storage, so it evens out temperature across the griddle while resisting warping under normal cooking conditions. It’s a practical OEM-style part meant to restore factory cooking performance.

• Constructed for stable heat transfer and even heating across the plate.
• Durable under regular outdoor cooking cycles with proper care.
• Helps reduce hot spots and undercooked sections on the griddle surface.
