Even Heat, Every Cook — Restore Your Grill's Performance.
Traeger Replacement Heat Baffle (KIT0790) ensures even heat distribution in your Junior, Tailgater, or Bronson pellet grill. This genuine Traeger part is the metal shield that sits above the firepot and directs heat and smoke evenly throughout the cooking chamber.
Why you might need this:
Heat baffles take direct exposure to flame and high heat every single cook. Over time, they rust through or warp, creating gaps that allow direct flame exposure to food and uneven temperature zones. If you're noticing hot spots, flare-ups, or inconsistent cooking, your heat baffle is likely the issue. A fresh baffle restores proper heat distribution for consistent results across your entire grill surface.
