How Much Does a Gas Grill Burner Cost? [2026 Prices]

Burners are the part that wears out first on most gas grills. Grease, salt air and heat eat the metal until the ports rust open, the flame turns ragged or yellow, or one end of the burner stops lighting. The good news is that most burners are simple to swap. The bad news is that the price swings from about $20 to more than $500 depending on the brand on the hood.

What a grill burner costs by brand

The biggest factor is who made the grill. Mass-market grills use thin stamped or tube burners made in huge volumes, so replacements are cheap. Premium built-in grills use heavy cast brass, cast stainless or thick formed stainless burners made in small runs, and the parts are priced to match.

Mass-market grills: about $20 to $140

For most big-box grills, universal adjustable tube burners are the cheapest fix. Online marketplaces sell packs of 3 to 5 stainless tubes that slide to length for about $25 to $35. They work when the original is a plain straight tube, but check the inlet shape and mounting tab before you order.

Weber sells its burners as kits for the whole grill. A Spirit or Spirit II set runs about $50 to $95, a Genesis II kit about $60 to $135, and a Summit set about $75 to $140. That is for every burner in the grill, not one tube. Single aftermarket tubes for popular Spirit models sell for about $18 to $30. See our Weber parts price guide for the rest of the grill.

Napoleon main burner tubes for Prestige and Rogue grills are also inexpensive, about $25 each, with burner and sear plate kits a bit more.

Mid-range built-ins: about $35 to $220

Summerset, Blaze and AOG sit in the middle. A Summerset Sizzler straight tube burner is about $40, the Sizzler Pro U-burner about $85, and the heavy cast stainless burner used in Sizzler Pro and Blaze grills runs about $100 to $130. Summerset uses its own part codes, so match the code on the old burner or in the manual. More detail is in the Summerset parts cost guide.

An AOG main burner from the factory is about $195 to $220. A good aftermarket stainless version runs about $95 to $130.

Premium built-ins: about $125 to $550 per burner

This is where sticker shock happens. Twin Eagles U-burners are the bargain of the group at about $125 to $160 each. DCS main burners run about $245 to $300, and some older tube burners pass $450. Fire Magic cast stainless E-burners are about $280 to $440 depending on the grill line. Alfresco main burner assemblies are about $360. Lynx cast brass burners are about $430 to $545, and ProSear or Trident infrared burners run $400 to $750.

A few brand quirks matter here:

• Fire Magic has used several burner styles across Custom, Regal, Deluxe, Aurora, Echelon and Choice grills. An Echelon burner will not drop into an older Regal. See Fire Magic part prices.
• Lynx changed part numbers many times over the years and uses series letters (E, F, G, H, J, K and so on) to separate versions. The Lynx parts cost guide covers this.
• Alfresco fitment can depend on the serial number, not just the model. Two grills with the same model name may take different burners.

If you have an infrared sear burner, those are priced differently. Our infrared burner cost guide has the numbers.

OEM vs aftermarket burners

For Weber and other mass-market grills, aftermarket burners are usually fine and save a little money. For premium grills, the gap is bigger. Aftermarket burners for older Lynx, DCS, AOG, Alfresco and Fire Magic models often cost half of OEM or less.

The trade-offs:

• Material. Aftermarket Lynx and Fire Magic replacements are often cast iron, not brass or cast stainless. Cast iron rusts faster, especially near the coast, so expect a shorter life.
• Fit. Good aftermarket burners are made to the original dimensions, but small differences in the venturi or air shutter can change the flame. If the flame looks lazy or yellow after the swap, the air shutter may need adjusting.
• Availability. Newer premium models often have no aftermarket option at all. Twin Eagles, newer Fire Magic Echelon and Aurora grills, and current Lynx infrared burners are mostly OEM only.

Burners are not the place to cut corners on a grill that lives inside an island, but a well-made aftermarket burner on an older grill is a reasonable choice. Gas valves are different. Buy those OEM. Our grill valve cost guide explains why.

Signs your burner needs replacing

• Ports have rusted together into a slot, or there are holes in the top or sides of the tube.
• Flames are yellow, tall and wavy even after cleaning the ports and checking the air shutter.
• One section of the burner will not light, or the flame lifts off the ports.
• The burner is cracked, sagging, or the inlet end has rotted.

A clogged burner can often be cleaned instead of replaced. Spiders love the venturi tubes, and a blocked tube looks a lot like a dead burner. A professional deep clean will often bring a tired burner back, so it is worth checking before you buy parts. See grill cleaning services near you.

Find your model and serial number first

Never order a burner from a photo. Get the model and serial number off the rating plate first. On Weber and most cart grills it is a sticker on the frame, usually inside the cabinet door or under a side shelf. On built-in grills it is usually a metal plate on the front frame behind the drip tray or under the control panel. Some premium grills also have a pull-out tag. Write down both numbers and the gas type (propane or natural gas), because some burners and orifices differ by fuel.

DIY or hire a pro

On most grills a burner swap is a screwdriver job. You lift out the grates and heat plates, remove a cotter pin or screw at the back, slide the burner off the valve, and reverse the steps. The tricky parts are seating the burner fully over the valve orifice and getting the igniter electrode lined up so it sparks where gas flows.

Labor cost depends on how many burners you are replacing, how rusted the mounting hardware is, and whether the grill needs a cleaning first so the new burners are not sitting in old grease. A pro will also check the valves, igniters and gas pressure while the grill is apart, which catches problems a new burner will not fix.
