How Much Does a Grill Drip Tray Cost? [2026 Prices]

The drip tray is the most ignored part on a grill. It collects grease, ash, and whatever falls through the grates, and on most patios it gets emptied about once a year if at all. Eventually it rusts through, warps, or catches fire. Replacing one is usually simple, but the price swing is huge. A Weber catch pan can be under $25, and a Lynx drip pan can cost more than a whole entry-level grill.

Grill drip trays, grease trays and liners prices

Prices checked October 2026 from authorized dealers, the Pro Grill store and Amazon. Always match the part to your model and serial number.

What drives the price

Size, material and brand. Mass-market grills use thin stamped or porcelain-coated steel trays, which are cheap to make. Premium built-ins use heavy stainless trays that run the full width of the grill and often have welded corners, handles and slides. Those cost far more.

There is also a difference between the drip tray (the big slide-out tray under the burners) and the catch pan (the small cup or pan that the tray drains into). On many grills you only need the catch pan.

Part-by-part breakdown

Liners and catch pans

Disposable foil liners are the cheapest fix and the best way to protect a tray. Napoleon's 6-pack of disposable grease trays is about $6. Weber catch pan kits and catch pans with holders run about $24 to $38. If your tray is in good shape and just dirty, liners and a good cleaning may be all you need.

Mass-market grills

Weber is the cheapest major brand for drip trays. Slide-out grease trays for Genesis II and Spirit grills run about $50 to $60 OEM. Aftermarket Weber-style trays run about $50 to $79. A full Spirit grease tray assembly for 2009 to 2012 grills is about $140. Vermont Castings trays run about $79 to $94 by length. The Weber grill parts cost guide covers other common Weber repairs.

Store-brand grills are where it gets tricky. Members Mark and similar trays run about $119 to $150 when you can find them, and many older store-brand grills have no replacement tray available at all. In that case, a tray from a sheet metal shop or a careful measurement for a universal pan is sometimes the only option.

Premium built-in grills

Premium drip trays are heavy stainless and priced accordingly:

• Solaire and TEC: about $103 to $167.
• Fire Magic: about $128 for Aurora, Echelon, Magnum and Echelon Diamond trays. Fire Magic charcoal grill pans and drip trays run about $91 to $322.
• Alfresco rotisserie drip pan: about $99.
• Artisan grease tray assemblies: about $263 to $280.
• Lynx grease drip pans: about $400 for the L27, $494 for the L36, $525 for the L42 and $569 for the 54 inch. Older LBQ stainless grease trays run about $727.

Lynx trays are a good example of why model and series matter. They are sized by grill width and changed over the years, and Lynx part numbers have changed many times. The Lynx parts cost guide and the Fire Magic parts cost guide have more brand detail.

Signs you need a new drip tray

• Rust holes or thin spots you can push a screwdriver through.
• A warped tray that will not slide in or out.
• Grease leaking onto the cabinet floor or the island below.
• Signs of a grease fire, like scorched or discolored metal under the burners.

A leaking or rusted-out tray is more than a mess. Grease that drips into a built-in island or onto a cart's floor is fuel for a fire, and it attracts rodents that chew gas hoses. If you see grease where it should not be, check the hose too. Our regulator and hose price guide covers those parts.

Clean it or replace it

Many trays that look ruined are only filthy. A heavy-duty degreaser, a plastic scraper and some patience will bring back most stainless trays. Replace the tray if it is rusted through, warped, or cracked at the seams. On premium grills, a professional BBQ cleaning usually includes the drip tray, heat plates and burners, and it is often cheaper than replacing a $400 tray. While the grill is apart, it is worth checking the heat plates too, covered in our heat plate and briquette tray guide.

OEM vs aftermarket

Aftermarket drip trays exist for popular mass-market grills like Weber, and they are usually fine. For premium built-ins, there is little or no aftermarket. The tray has to fit the grill's slides and seal against the firebox, and a poor fit lets grease spill into the island. Buy OEM for Lynx, Fire Magic, Alfresco, Artisan and other built-in brands.

Find your model and serial number first

Drip trays are sized by grill width and often by generation. On many built-ins, the rating plate is on the drip tray rails or on the firebox side behind the tray, so you will see it when you pull the tray out. On Weber and other cart grills, check inside the cabinet door or on the frame. Alfresco fitment depends on serial number, and Fire Magic E-series, A-series and Echelon grills each have their own parts. Take a photo of the plate and measure the old tray before ordering.

DIY or hire a pro

Swapping a drip tray or catch pan is a DIY job on almost any grill. It slides out and the new one slides in. A pro visit makes sense when the tray is part of a bigger problem: a grease fire, burners rusted from grease buildup, or a grill that needs a full teardown and cleaning.

Most companies in our network are dealers or have dealer accounts, so they can usually get the right tray and replace it during a cleaning or repair visit. You can find a grill cleaning or repair pro near you or browse local grill repair services.
