Star Mfg 2F-Z3036 Range Burner Deflector/Radiant Cast Iron 14-3/4" X 6-1/2"

A burner deflector and radiant part used in commercial broiling equipment, this cast iron piece helps spread and control heat from the burner. With a size of 14-3/4" x 6-1/2", it sits above the flame and absorbs heat, then spreads it evenly across the cooking surface. The cast iron material holds heat well, helping provide steady and even cooking in high-temperature environments. This part also helps protect the burner from grease and food drippings while improving heat flow for better cooking results. It is commonly used in commercial broilers and range systems where even heat is important. Replacing a worn, cracked, or bent deflector can bring back proper heat flow, reduce flare-ups, and help keep cooking performance consistent during daily use.
