Direct Store 17" Stainless Steel Emitter Plates for Char-Broil TRU-Infrared 2-Burner Grill — 2-Pack, Perforated for Even Heat

Direct Store Parts DS123 are two 17" stainless-steel emitter plates designed to replace the original TRU-Infrared emitter plates on compatible Char-Broil 2-burner performance grills, restoring even heat distribution and reliable infrared cooking performance.

These heavy‑duty stamped stainless-steel emitter plates (two pieces per kit) measure 16 15/16" x 8.5" each and are perforated to spread heat from the burner tube across the cooking area. They’re crafted as a direct-replacement option for many Char-Broil Performance TRU-Infrared 2-burner models so you can maintain consistent grilling temperatures without buying a new grill. The plates are non-stick-friendly and simple to clean, letting you keep your grill working like new and prolong its usable life.

How do these emitter plates affect grill heat and cooking?

Perforated stainless-steel emitter plates turn the burner’s flame into infrared heat and distribute it more evenly across the grill surface. That reduces localized hot spots and helps food cook with a steadier sear and more consistent internal temperature.

• Stamped stainless-steel with many holes for improved heat dispersion
• Replace worn or rusted original plates to recover even heating
• Designed to work with the burner tube to produce infrared-style cooking

Will these plates fit my Char-Broil grill model?

The DS123 kit is intended for Char-Broil Performance TRU-Infrared 2-burner grills that use the 17" emitter plates listed in the compatibility set. Before purchase, verify the original plate size and model numbers; these plates do not fit Char-Broil Signature or Commercial Series TRU-Infrared grills produced after 2015.

• Fits many models including 463633316, 463672016, 463672216, 463672416, and related numbers
• Replaces part #53173 and is compatible with Char-Broil G460-0500-W1 in many cases
• Confirm dimensions: 16 15/16" x 8.5" per plate before ordering

How easy are these plates to install and maintain?

Installation is straightforward: remove old, damaged plates and seat the new emitter plates over the burner tubes in the same orientation. Cleaning is simple thanks to the smooth stainless surface—soak, wipe, or scrub gently to remove grease and debris without harsh abrasion.

• Direct 2-piece kit replaces both emitter plates for a full 2-burner setup
• Smooth stainless finish resists sticking and cleans with hot soapy water
• Keep plates dry after cleaning to prevent premature corrosion

What are the build and material details?

The DS123 plates are made from stamped heavy-duty stainless steel with numerous perforations to optimize infrared heat generation. Their rigid construction resists warping from typical grilling temperatures, and the non-stick surface simplifies routine maintenance.

• Material: stamped stainless steel for durability and heat resistance
• Dimensions: 16 15/16" x 8.5" each; full span 16 15/16" x 17" for the pair
• Sold as a set of two emitter plates (2PK) for 2-burner TRU-Infrared grills

Who is this for? Grill owners who need a cost-effective replacement for worn or damaged TRU-Infrared emitter plates on Char-Broil Performance 2-burner grills will find the Direct Store Parts DS123 kit useful. It’s intended for do-it-yourself maintenance and for anyone who wants to restore more even heat distribution and longer grill life without replacing the entire unit.
