GORGERILA Heat Deflector for Pit Boss – Stainless Steel Flame Tamer (700-1600 Series)

Optimize Pit Boss grilling with the GORGERILA Heat Deflector

Designed for robust pellet grills, this stainless steel heat deflector acts as a flame tamper that redirects heat for indirect cooking. The heavy-duty steel withstands high temperatures without warping, delivering a stable platform for long, even grilling sessions and reliable performance across cooks.

When installed, it creates a barrier between flames and your food, blocking direct flare-ups while letting heat flow through. As a result, you may notice more uniform doneness across the cooking surface and fewer burnt edges, even with fattier cuts. The improved heat distribution can also contribute to longer charcoal burn times, potentially saving fuel over the course of a cook and reducing the need for constant adjustments.

Compatibility and fit

The heat deflector is compatible with Pit Boss models in the 700, 820, 850, 1000, 1150, 1250, 1300, and 1600 series, along with a few other Pit Boss configurations. Please note: it is not compatible with certain Lexington models (for example 540 PB500LX1 and 500 PB500N) and some other lines. Measure your existing deflector before ordering to ensure a match.

Performance highlights

• Indirect heating with reduced hot spots for more consistent cooking

Fit, durability, and installation tips
