Expert Grill Replacement Parts Guide

Expert Grill Parts: How to Find the Right Replacement Parts

Expert Grill owners usually need to match replacement parts by model number, dimensions, burner count, part shape, and mounting points — not by brand name alone. This guide covers burners, cooking grates, heat plates, grease trays, drip pans, igniters, regulators, covers, and thermometers, and how to confirm fit before ordering.

Practical compatibility guide for Expert Grill owners. Quality Grill Parts is not an official Expert Grill, Walmart, or manufacturer parts store, and is not affiliated with those brands.

Quick answer

Most Expert Grill replacement parts are not truly universal.

Covers, lid thermometers, and regulator hoses can be easier to match. Burners, cooking grates, heat plates, grease trays, drip pans, and igniters usually need model-specific measurements and mounting checks before ordering.

Buying workflow

Do this before buying Expert Grill replacement parts

A simple 5-step process that prevents most wrong-part returns. Work through it once per part.

  1. 1

    Find the model number

    Check inside the cabinet door, on the back panel, on the rating label, or in the manual. Snap a photo for reference.

  2. 2

    Confirm grill type and burner count

    Gas vs charcoal vs pellet; 3, 4, 5, or 6 burners; tabletop vs full cart; side burner present or not.

  3. 3

    Remove and measure the old part

    Length, width, height, bracket spacing, port direction, and any unique mounting holes or notches.

  4. 4

    Compare mounting points and shape

    The replacement must match how the part attaches — not just the outer dimensions. Look at brackets, hangers, and connectors.

  5. 5

    Buy the closest compatible replacement

    Use the dimensions to filter Amazon listings. Read recent reviews from buyers with your same model when possible.

RATING LABELMODEL NO.XG17-XXXXXXSERIALBURNER COUNT • BTU • YEAR

Find your model number first

Where to find your Expert Grill model number

Expert Grill replacement parts are usually model-specific, so the model number does most of the work for you. Look in these locations before ordering:

  • Inside the cabinet door
  • On the back panel of the grill
  • Near the rating label on the cart or firebox
  • In the owner's manual
  • On the original purchase record or order email
  • Under the control panel area on some gas grills

Why model number matters more than burner count

Two Expert Grill grills with the same number of burners can still use very different parts. Across model years and SKUs, the following are commonly different:

  • • Burner tube length and shape
  • • Heat plate dimensions and bracket style
  • • Cooking grate panel size and count
  • • Grease tray width and rail style
  • • Igniter wiring and electrode positions
  • • Regulator and hose connector type
  • • Mounting brackets and hardware

Parts by model

Expert Grill parts by model and type

Common Expert Grill parts grouped by model family. Use this as a starting point, then confirm exact compatibility against your model number.

Expert Grill 3-burner gas grill parts

Common parts
Burners, heat plates, grates, igniter, regulator, grease tray, cover
Check before buying
Burner length, grate footprint, igniter style (push vs rotary).
Best next step
Find the model number, then measure the burner and grate panels.

Expert Grill 4-burner gas grill parts

Common parts
Burners, heat plates, grates, grease tray, drip pan, igniter, cover
Check before buying
Grate panel count, tray slide rails, and side-burner wiring if present.
Best next step
Confirm the tray width and burner port direction before ordering.

Expert Grill 5-burner parts

Common parts
Burners, heat plates, grates, grease tray, side-burner parts, cover
Check before buying
Total cookbox width, side-shelf layout, and main-burner count vs side burner.
Best next step
Measure the longest burner and the full grease tray length.

Expert Grill 6-burner parts

Common parts
Long grease tray, multiple burners, heat plates, wide cover, regulator/hose
Check before buying
Overall width including shelves, and any rear infrared/searing burner.
Best next step
Get the cover measurement first — it is the most commonly mis-ordered part.

Expert Grill 24-inch charcoal grill parts

Common parts
Cooking grates, charcoal grates, ash pan, warming rack, cover
Check before buying
Cooking area diameter or width and grate shape (round vs rectangular).
Best next step

Expert Grill pellet grill parts

Common parts
Drip tray liners, covers, temperature probes, grates, pellet accessories
Check before buying
Auger, hopper, and firepot parts are usually pellet-specific.
Best next step
Do not assume gas-grill parts fit pellet grills — firebox and tray system differ.

Expert Grill portable / tabletop grill parts

Common parts
Burner, grate, igniter, regulator, carry handle, cover
Check before buying
Tabletop grills use shorter burners and smaller QCC1/1-lb regulators.
Best next step

Universal or model-specific?

Which Expert Grill parts are universal — and which aren't

Use this split as a sanity check before clicking "universal" on a parts listing.

Usually model-specific

These need extra checking — measure the original part and compare mounting points.

  • Burners
  • Cooking grates
  • Heat plates / flame tamers
  • Grease trays
  • Igniter modules and electrodes
  • Warming racks
  • Side-burner parts

Easier to match

These are more forgiving — dimensions and fittings still matter, but universal options often work.

  • Grill covers (size-matched)
  • Propane regulator hoses (with matching fittings)
  • Lid thermometers
  • Drip cups and foil liners
  • Basic tools and accessories

Where to buy

Where to buy Expert Grill replacement parts

No single source carries every Expert Grill part. Here is how the main channels compare in practice.

Amazon

Best for aftermarket burners, grates, covers, regulator hoses, thermometers, heat plates, drip pans, and universal accessories. Selection is wide and prices update frequently — compatibility still needs to be confirmed against your model number and measurements.

Walmart / retailer listings

Useful because Expert Grill is commonly sold through Walmart, so model-specific branded parts may appear there. Availability changes through the season, and not every model-specific part is consistently stocked.

Manuals and model labels

Best source for confirming original part shapes, part numbers, dimensions, and any safety notes for your specific grill. Keep a phone photo of the rating label for quick reference.

Compatible aftermarket parts

Often great value, especially for burners, heat plates, grates, and covers — but only if dimensions and mounting points truly match. Read recent reviews from buyers with your same model when possible.

Replace or repair?

Which Expert Grill parts are worth replacing?

Some parts almost always justify replacement. Others are worth cleaning first or skipping entirely if the grill is near end-of-life. Use this as a decision aid, not a hard rule.

  • • Replacing burners, grates, heat plates, and grease trays can often extend the life of an Expert Grill by years.
  • • If the firebox, frame, lid, or gas manifold is badly rusted, replacing the whole grill is usually smarter than chasing parts.
  • • Gas-system repairs (burners, regulator, hose, manifold) should be handled carefully — leak-test every connection.

For diagnostics before replacing, see grill igniter not working, grill regulator reset, gas grill won't get hot, how to clean a grill grease trap, and how to clean rusty grill grates.

Measure before you order

How to measure Expert Grill parts the right way

Most wrong-part returns come from skipping measurements. A tape measure and ten minutes prevents almost all of them.

How to measure Expert Grill burners

  • Total length end to end, including any cross-over tube tab
  • Tube shape — straight, oval, or H-pattern
  • Mounting bracket style and bracket spacing
  • Port direction (ports facing up, sideways, or angled)
  • Crossover tube length and position, if your model uses one

How to measure Expert Grill grates

  • Total cooking area (full grate footprint, side to side and front to back)
  • Each individual grate panel size
  • Front-to-back depth and side-to-side width per panel
  • Support ledge position inside the cookbox
  • Material — stainless, porcelain-coated steel, or cast iron

How to measure grease trays and drip pans

  • Tray width and depth at the widest point
  • Slide rail style (rolled lip, hooked tabs, or flat slide)
  • Front handle or lip shape
  • Drip hole location and matching drip cup size
  • Whether your model uses a tray, a pan, a cup, or a foil liner

How to check igniter compatibility

  • Battery style (AA, AAA, or 9V) and rotary vs push-button module
  • Number of electrodes (one per burner)
  • Wire length from module to each electrode
  • Spark box style and number of spark outputs
  • Electrode mounting position relative to each burner

For deeper repair guidance, see our Weber replacement parts guide — the measuring approach is the same across most gas grill brands.

Safety check before replacing gas grill parts

  • • Turn off propane at the tank before working on any gas parts.
  • • Let the grill cool completely before touching burners, plates, or grates.
  • • Do not modify burners, orifices, or gas lines to force a part to fit.
  • • Leak-test regulator and hose connections with soapy water after any gas-system work.
  • • If you smell gas, stop work, shut off the tank, and follow safe propane procedures.
  • • Contact the manufacturer, retailer, or a qualified technician when unsure.

FAQ

Expert Grill parts: common questions

Practical answers to the questions Expert Grill owners ask most before ordering replacement parts.

Where can I buy Expert Grill replacement parts?
Amazon is the most common source for aftermarket Expert Grill burners, grates, heat plates, covers, regulator hoses, and thermometers. Walmart and other original retailer listings sometimes carry model-specific branded parts, and the owner's manual is the most reliable reference for part shape, dimensions, and the exact model number. Whichever channel you use, confirm dimensions and mounting points before ordering. Our grill parts guides hub lists brand-specific pages with the same checking approach.
Are Expert Grill parts universal?
Some categories are easier to match — covers, lid thermometers, regulator hoses, and drip cups can be more universal when dimensions line up. Burners, cooking grates, heat plates, grease trays, igniters, warming racks, and side-burner parts are usually model-specific, so true universal options for those parts are risky without measuring the original first.
How do I find my Expert Grill model number?
Check inside the cabinet door, on the back panel, near the rating label on the cart or firebox, in the owner's manual, on the original purchase or order record, or under the control panel area on some gas grills. The model number is the single most important detail when ordering replacement parts — keep a photo of the rating label on your phone.
How do I know which Expert Grill burner fits my grill?
Match six things: model number, total burner length, tube shape, mounting bracket style, port direction, and connector at the valve. Do not buy by burner count alone — two Expert Grill 4-burner grills from different model years can use very different burner tubes, with different lengths and different bracket styles.
Can I replace Expert Grill grates with stainless steel grates?
Yes, if the overall cooking area, panel dimensions, and support ledge match. Stainless steel grates heat faster and resist rust, while cast iron holds heat longer and gives stronger sear marks. For a deeper comparison, see stainless steel vs cast iron grill grates.
What is the difference between an Expert Grill grease tray and drip pan?
The grease tray usually slides under the cookbox on rails and catches drippings across the full grill width. The drip pan or cup sits below the tray and collects grease coming off it. The terms are used interchangeably in product listings, so check the dimensions, slide-rail style, and drip-hole position rather than relying on the label alone.
Why is my Expert Grill not getting hot after replacing parts?
The most common causes are a regulator stuck in safety mode after a hot tank disconnect, clogged or misaligned burners, blocked gas flow, misaligned heat plates blocking burner ports, or low propane. Walk through gas grill won't get hot and grill regulator reset before assuming the new parts are defective.
Who makes Expert Grill?
Expert Grill is a Walmart private-label brand sold primarily through Walmart stores and walmart.com. The grills themselves are manufactured by various overseas factories that Walmart contracts with, which is one reason model-to-model parts can vary even within the same burner count. We are not affiliated with Walmart or the Expert Grill brand.
Is it worth repairing an old Expert Grill?
If only the burners, grates, heat plates, grease tray, igniter, or cover are worn, repair usually makes financial sense — those parts are inexpensive relative to a new grill. If the firebox, lid, frame, or gas manifold shows heavy rust or structural damage, replacing the whole grill is typically safer and a better long-term value.
Can I use universal grill parts on an Expert Grill?
Some universal parts work well — covers (when sized correctly), regulator hoses with matching fittings, lid thermometers, drip cups, and basic accessories. Universal burners, heat plates, grates, and igniters are riskier because Expert Grill models vary widely in burner length, plate angle, grate panel size, and electrode position. Always measure the original part and compare against the universal part's exact dimensions.

Still unsure which part fits? Check your model number first, then compare against the grill parts guides hub for related brand-specific pages.
