Grill Covers, Mats and Utensils

Replacement heat plates, grids and burners are model-specific

Heat plates, cooking grids, burners and gas hoses are made for particular grill models, so find the model number on the rating plate or inside the cabinet and match it with the listing. If the number is missing, measure the old part's length, width and mounting tabs. Stainless steel resists rust better than coated or porcelain finishes, which can chip, and a burner must suit the fuel. For hoses, check length, fittings and whether a regulator is included, and use one made for your fuel.

Covers, mats and tools: sizing and materials

Covers are sized by width, depth and height, so measure the grill with the lid closed, including side tables and handles, then pick a cover at least that large. Look for vents, straps or ties for wind, and a backing that sheds water. Grill mats are sold in sets and rated to a maximum temperature, so check it against your grill. Tool sets list piece counts and handle length; longer handles keep hands further from heat. Stainless steel pans and griddles suit small items that fall through the grate.

Questions about Grill Covers, Mats and Utensils

How do I find the right heat plate or cooking grid?

Find the grill's model number, usually on a rating plate or label, then match it with the listing. If the number is missing, measure the old part's length and width and compare them with the listed dimensions and the shape of the mounting tabs.

Do grill mats work on any grill?

Grill mats sit on the grate or griddle and have a maximum temperature rating, so check it against your grill's heat. Many can be trimmed to fit, and they should be replaced once scratched, cracked or peeling.

Can I use a propane hose on a natural gas grill?

No. Hoses, regulators and fittings are made for a specific gas and pressure. Use parts rated for your fuel and matched to your grill model, and check connections for leaks with soapy water before lighting.
