Without a catch plate, that debris lands directly on your grill grate, firebox floor, or whatever surface the unit is resting on. Over multiple cooks it accumulates, creates mess, and can affect airflow inside the firebox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe catch plate intercepts all of that. It sits flush beneath the ignition unit, collects the fallout, and keeps your cooking environment exactly the way you set it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"pd-callout\"\u003e\nAfter 40 to 50 cooks running the Pyralit Ignition Unit and Catch Plate combination across Big Green Egg kamados and Weber kettles, the second use case became obvious: \u003cstrong\u003ethe catch plate is also a heat-safe landing surface for the hot ignition unit after charcoal transfer\u003c\/strong\u003e. Once coals are poured into the grill, the unit is still extremely hot and needs somewhere to cool.

The 316 stainless steel does not rust from water exposure and requires no drying treatment.\"}},\n    {\"@type\": \"Question\",\"name\": \"Why is 316 marine-grade stainless used for a catch plate?\",\"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\",\"text\": \"The catch plate sits directly beneath the ignition unit during the hottest phase of every cook. It is exposed to the highest ash alkalinity, the most direct heat, and sustained outdoor moisture. 316 stainless handles all three without any degradation. Using a lower-grade stainless or mild steel would result in rust formation at the ash-contact points within a season.\"}},\n    {\"@type\": \"Question\",\"name\": \"Is the catch plate compatible with other ignition systems, or only Pyralit?\",\"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\",\"text\": \"The catch plate is sized and profiled specifically for the Pyralit Hero Ignition Unit's footprint. While it will physically sit beneath other chimney starters, the precise sizing match to the Pyralit unit is what makes it work as a cohesive system.\"}},\n    {\"@type\": \"Question\",\"name\": \"Can I see the Pyralit Catch Plate before I buy?\",\"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\",\"text\": \"Yes. The Pyralit Catch Plate is on display at our Wetherill Park showroom in Sydney, alongside the Hero Ignition Unit and full Pyralit range. Open Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm.\"}},\n    {\"@type\": \"Question\",\"name\": \"Does Pyralit ship outside Sydney?\",\"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\",\"text\": \"Yes. BBQ Republic ships Pyralit Australia-wide. Standard shipping rates apply at checkout. Sydney metro orders qualify for fast metro delivery or same-day pickup from our Wetherill Park showroom.\"}}\n  ]\n}\n\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Pyralit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45291254415532,"sku":"PYR-CP-001","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/4267\/4348\/files\/IMG_8377.webp?v=1769673419","url":"https:\/\/bbqrepublic.com.au\/products\/pyralit-catch-plate","provider":"BBQ Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
