Extended Product Information

FAQs

How often should I replace the flame tamer?

Replacement frequency depends on usage; however, if you notice significant rust, holes, or warping, it should be replaced to ensure safe burner operation.

Can I use this on a non-Boss Grill model?

No, this part is specifically engineered for the listed Boss Grill models. Using it on an incompatible grill may lead to poor heat distribution or safety hazards.

Should I wash this in the dishwasher?

It is not recommended. Manual cleaning with a wire brush or scraper is safer and more effective for removing carbon deposits.

Does this part come with mounting hardware?

Generally, flame tamers are designed to sit on existing supports within the grill firebox and do not require additional mounting hardware.

Will this help with flare-ups?

Yes, by acting as a shield between your food and the burners, it effectively prevents fat drippings from catching fire.

Troubleshooting

Uneven cooking after installation

Check that the tamer is seated properly and is not warped or offset from the burner tubes.

Excessive smoke during operation

Excessive smoke usually indicates a buildup of grease or burnt food residue; remove the tamer and clean it thoroughly with a stiff brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation

Ensure the grill is completely cold and the fuel source is turned off.
Remove the existing cooking grates to access the old flame tamer.
Remove the old component and clear away any accumulated ash or debris from the burner area.
Position the new 420.017 Flame Tamer securely over the burner tubes.
Replace the cooking grates and perform a brief burn-in test before placing food on the grill.

Compatibility

This part is compatible with the following Boss Grill models: IQBQ3BCHTS, IQBQ4BCHTS, IQBBQ4BBRED, IQBBQ4BBLUE, IQBBQ4BGREEN, IQBBQ4BSEN, IQBBQ4BBLEN, IQBQ6BCHTB, IQBQ6BCHTS, and IQBQ6BCOMPKIT.

Care

To prolong the life of your flame tamer, scrape off excess carbon buildup after each cook while the grill is warm. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may compromise the metal coating.
