Hongso 16.5" Stainless Steel Briquette Tray for Nexgrill & Barbeques Galore Turbo — 16-1/2" x 6-1/2" with Ceramic Briquettes

These Hongso 16.5" stainless-steel briquette trays replace worn heat tents and hold ceramic briquettes to restore even heat distribution and grease protection in compatible Nexgrill and Barbeques Galore Turbo grills.

If your grill’s original briquette trays are rusted, warped, or missing, swapping them for a precise-fit replacement is the simplest way to recover consistent cooking performance. The Hongso tray measures 16-1/2" x 6-1/2" and is built from stainless steel with included ceramic briquettes, designed to fit a long list of Nexgrill and Barbeques Galore Turbo, Classic, and Elite models. This listing focuses on fit, durability, and how the tray interacts with burners, grease management, and heat patterning.

Will this tray fit my Nexgrill or Barbeques Galore model?

Compatibility is the strongest reason to choose this tray: Hongso engineered the dimensions and mounting points to match specific OEM part numbers. It fits several Nexgrill references (720-0057 series) and a broad range of Barbeques Galore Turbo, Classic and Elite model numbers listed in the product details. Check your grill’s existing tray size and model number before ordering.

• Exact size: 16-1/2" x 6-1/2" — matches many OEM trays.
• Compatible OEM numbers include 720-0057, 720-0057-3B, 720-0057-4B and related STS variations.
• Cross-compatible with many Barbeques Galore Turbo, Classic and Elite grill models (see full list in product features).
• Easy visual or measurement check: measure length and width of your current tray to confirm fit.

How does the stainless-steel tray improve grilling performance?

The tray protects burners from drips, reduces flare-ups, and supports ceramic briquettes that spread heat more evenly than bare flame. Stainless steel resists corrosion better than cheaper metals, so the tray maintains shape and position under repeated heating cycles. That means steadier temperature zones and less flare-up interruption while you cook.

• Holds ceramic briquettes that diffuse and stabilize heat across the cooking zone.
• Guards burners from grease and food debris, simplifying cleaning and maintenance.
• Stainless construction reduces rusting and warping versus plated metals.
• Helps minimize direct flame contact for gentler, consistent searing.

What’s included and how difficult is installation?

Each purchase includes a 16-1/2" x 6-1/2" stainless-steel tray plus ceramic briquettes already seated for immediate use. Installation is a straightforward swap: remove the old tray and slide the Hongso tray into place. No specialty tools are necessary for most compatible grills; basic hand tools may help if your grill uses clips or screws.

• Package contains one stainless-steel tray and ceramic briquettes.
• Simple remove-and-replace process — usually under 10 minutes.
• No additional hardware required for standard compatible models.
• Inspect burners while replacing to ensure safe operation.

How should I care for the tray and briquettes?

Routine care keeps the tray performing longer: after cool-down, scrape away baked-on residue and wipe the tray with warm, soapy water. Ceramic briquettes can be brushed free of grease; if heavily soaked, replace them to avoid smell or flare-up risk. Store your grill covered to slow corrosion of other components.

• Allow full cool-down before cleaning to avoid burns.
• Hand-scrape and wipe with mild detergent; avoid harsh abrasives on ceramics.
• Replace briquettes when saturated or cracked for best results.
• Periodic checks for rust or deformation extend safe service life.

Who is this for: The Hongso 16.5" briquette tray is made for grill owners who need a direct-fit replacement for Nexgrill and Barbeques Galore Turbo, Classic, or Elite models—especially those looking to restore even heating, reduce flare-ups, and protect burners without buying a new grill. It’s also a practical upgrade for anyone replacing corroded trays with a durable stainless-steel alternative and an included set of ceramic briquettes for immediate use.
