The S23218-32Y briquette tray is a dedicated replacement component designed for Delta Heat 32-inch grills, specifically compatible with models DHBQ32, DHBQ32G, DHBQ32R/S, DHBQ32R, and DHBQ32RS. This tray comes preloaded with 20 ceramic briquettes, which are essential for even heat distribution and infrared cooking performance. The ceramic briquettes absorb and radiate heat efficiently, helping to reduce flare-ups and maintain consistent cooking temperatures across the entire grill surface.

Made from durable materials, the tray is built to withstand high heat and repeated use, ensuring a long service life. The primary function of the ceramic briquettes is to vaporize drippings and create smoke, which adds flavor to grilled foods while preventing sudden grease fires. Compared to standard lava rocks or metal heat tents, ceramic briquettes offer superior heat retention and a more uniform infrared output. This results in better searing and more predictable cooking results for steaks, burgers, vegetables, and other items. The tray itself is precision-formed to fit securely in the designated compartment of the grill, requiring no modifications or special tools for installation. Construction quality is a key feature of this replacement part. The tray is made from heavy-duty steel that resists rust and corrosion, with a black powder-coated finish that blends seamlessly with the grill body. Each briquette is manufactured from high-density ceramic material, which does not degrade or break down over time like some natural alternatives. This ensures consistent performance from the first use through many cooking sessions. The combination of a sturdy tray and reliable briquettes helps restore a Delta Heat grill to its original cooking efficiency. Installation is straightforward: simply remove the old tray and slide the new tray into place, positioning the briquettes evenly. No wiring, drilling, or complex assembly is required. This makes it an accessible upgrade for anyone maintaining or refurbishing their Delta Heat grill. The complete set includes everything needed for a full replacement, meaning no additional purchases are necessary for the typical user. The tray and briquettes together weigh enough to stay stable during cooking but are light enough to handle easily during cleaning. Offering a balance of durability and performance, this briquette tray represents a practical investment for extending the life of a Delta Heat grill. The included ceramic briquettes provide an infrared cooking experience that many grill enthusiasts prefer for its even heat and rich flavor. Given its affordable price point of $68.77, this replacement kit delivers great value compared to the cost of buying individual briquettes or a new grill. For anyone seeking to maintain optimal grilling results without a major expense, this tray is a sensible choice.
