Abstract
A barbecue gas burner plate (1) has drain slopes (2, 3) on opposite sides of a dihedral plate ridge (4), heat vents (5, 6) with vent covers (7, 9) at sides of the plate ridge and grease gutters (9, 12) at bottoms of the drain slopes. It is placed on a grill grate (17) to replace lava rock and eliminate grease fire flare-ups, saves fuel and enhances the flavor of meats cooked on a gas barbecue grill.
