DELSbbq Heat Deflector for Pit Boss & Louisiana Grill K24 Ceramic — Model 76251 (Ceramic, Indirect Heat)

The DELSbbq Heat Deflector 76251 (also listed as 60131) is a ceramic heat shield made to create indirect convection heat for Pit Boss and Louisiana Grills K24 ceramic charcoal barbecues.

If you want more even cooking and a gentler heat source for baking, smoking, or roasting on your K24 ceramic grill, this purpose-built ceramic deflector adds a layer between the fire and the food that reduces hot spots and prevents direct charring. It’s designed specifically to match the dimensions of Pit Boss K24 and Louisiana Grills K24 ceramic charcoal units—this is not compatible with Big Green Egg models, so check your grill model before ordering.

How does this heat deflector improve barbecue temperature control?

The ceramic disc absorbs and radiates heat to create a convection-like environment inside the ceramic cooker. That reduces direct flame contact and stabilizes internal temperatures, making it easier to maintain even cooking without constant fiddling.

• Creates indirect heat for uniform cooking across the rack
• Reduces flare-ups and concentrated charring
• Helps hold steady low-and-slow temperatures for hours

What kinds of cooking is the DELSbbq deflector best for?

This deflector is versatile: use it for baking pizzas, bread, and cookies, or for smoking and roasting larger cuts like brisket, whole chickens, and ribs. It gives a milder radiant heat that is ideal when you need gentle, consistent cooking rather than searing.

• Baking: cleaner bottom crusts on pizzas and bread
• Smoking: steadier low temperatures for slow-smoked meats
• Roasting: even browning on whole poultry and roasts

Can I change the heat distance or configuration with this deflector?

Yes — the ceramic deflector can be flipped or positioned to alter the gap between the heat source and the cooking grates. Using it “upside-down” increases the distance to the lower racks, giving you an extra buffer for very delicate items or longer smoking sessions.

• Standard orientation for typical indirect cooking
• Upside-down placement to raise the cooking surface further from the fire
• Compatible with common K24 rack layouts for flexible setups

How durable and easy to maintain is this ceramic heat deflector?

Made from robust ceramic, the deflector withstands high temperatures and repeated heating cycles. It’s simple to clean—brush off ash and wipe or soak as needed—though you should avoid sudden temperature shocks and always follow safe handling when hot.

• Ceramic construction resists heat fatigue and thermal stress
• Clean by brushing off residues; soak for tougher buildup
• Not compatible with Big Green Egg—confirm K24 model fit before purchase

Who is this for? The DELSbbq Heat Deflector 76251/60131 is aimed at backyard grillers and pitmasters using Pit Boss or Louisiana Grills K24 ceramic charcoal cookers who want more control over their cooking environment. It’s ideal if you bake on your grill, smoke large cuts low and slow, or simply want to avoid flare-ups and uneven charring. Before buying, verify your grill model matches K24 dimensions to ensure a proper fit.
