Charbroil Universal Bar Burner 15"–22" 430 Stainless Replacement with Flexible Gas Tubes and Insect Guards

If your gas grill has a damaged or inefficient bar burner, replacing it with a compatible, corrosion-resistant unit restores even heat distribution and safe operation. The Char-Broil Universal Bar Burner is designed to swap into many Char-Broil models and other manufacturers’ grills without requiring a custom-made part. Its 430 stainless-steel construction resists rust during seasonal use, while the flexible gas tubes and stretchable mounting make installation adaptable to multiple grill cabinet layouts.

Will this replace my existing dual-control bar burner?

Yes — the Char-Broil Universal Bar Burner is built to replace most dual-control bar burners sized from 15" up to 22". It accommodates different mounting positions and flame control configurations, reducing the need to source a model-specific burner.

• Fits burners measuring between 15" and 22" end-to-end
• Compatible with many Char-Broil models and other brands
• Works with dual-control valve layouts
• Designed to align with common bracket and port placements

How durable is the construction for seasonal outdoor use?

The bar burner is formed from 430 stainless steel, a material chosen for its corrosion resistance and strength under high heat. That makes it suitable for repeated grill cycles, and the integrated spider/insect guards help prevent small pests from nesting inside the burner during idle periods.

• 430 stainless-steel body resists rust and warping
• Welded seams and sturdy tube ends for secure gas flow
• Built-in insect/spider guards block webs and nests
• Does not include an igniter—compatible with standard ignition modules

How does the installer adapt the burner to different grills?

The unit includes flex and stretch gas tubes that expand or bend slightly to reach valve positions and gas inlets that aren’t perfectly aligned. This flexibility simplifies installation for DIYers and service technicians, minimizing the need for extra fittings or tubing modifications.

• Flexible gas tubes can extend for custom fit-up
• Stretchable length covers small cabinet variances
• Standard connector ends match common valve ports
• Can often be fitted without specialized tools

What should I know before buying and installing?

Measure the end-to-end length of your current bar burner to confirm fit within the 15"–22" range and verify your grill uses a dual-control configuration. Keep in mind that the product does not include an igniter, so if your grill’s ignition module is damaged you’ll need to replace or reuse your existing igniter assembly.

• Confirm burner length and valve layout before purchasing
• Igniter is not included—plan to reuse or replace separately
• Ensure proper gas supply shutoff before installation
• Follow manufacturer or certified technician installation guidelines

Who is this for: The Char-Broil Universal Bar Burner is ideal for grill owners who need a reliable, corrosion-resistant replacement for a worn or damaged dual-control bar burner. It suits DIY installers and professional technicians working on Char-Broil units and many other grill brands, especially when a flexible, easy-to-fit solution is preferred over a model-specific part.
