Weber Genesis · Parts Guide
Burner tube replacement is the most important major repair on Weber Genesis gas grills — after 8-12 years of outdoor use, burner tubes rust through, warp, or develop holes that produce uneven flame patterns and gas safety concerns. The fix is straightforward: replace the burner set ($30-100 for aftermarket, $65-100 for OEM) and your Genesis cooks like new. The catch: Weber has produced five distinct Genesis generations with different burner specifications. The 2011-2016 Genesis 300 burner tubes are NOT compatible with 2017+ Genesis II 300 burner tubes (similar names, different parts). This guide identifies your specific Genesis first, then matches you to the exact burner tubes for your grill.
This page is a Genesis-specific deep dive on burner tubes. For cross-model burner tube comparisons across Weber's full lineup (Spirit, Genesis, Summit), see our Weber Burner Tubes guide.

Diagnosis
Knowing the signs of burner tube failure helps you catch problems before they affect cooking performance or create gas safety issues.
Healthy burner tubes produce uniform blue flame along the entire length. Failing tubes show yellow flame, weak spots, or gaps. Often caused by rust holes or grease clogging the gas ports. Genesis owners typically notice uneven cooking results before visible damage.
Weber Genesis burner tubes are stainless steel but still corrode over 8-12 years of outdoor exposure. Visible rust spots, pitting, or orange staining indicate end-of-life approaching. Severe rust creates holes that let gas escape improperly — a safety concern.
High-heat cycles cause metal fatigue. Bent, split, or visibly warped burner tubes distribute heat poorly and may leak gas at weak points. Genesis tubes are heavier-gauge than Spirit tubes but eventually fatigue. Warping = 6-12 months of life remaining.
If burners take 5+ seconds to light or produce dangerous flare-ups when lit, tubes may be partially clogged or damaged. This is a safety issue requiring immediate replacement — delayed ignition creates gas pockets that flash dangerously.
Typical Genesis burner tube lifespan: 8-12 years with normal use (weekly grilling, cover storage). Outdoor grills in coastal climates last 5-7 years. Indoor-stored or covered grills regularly hit 15+ years. Genesis tubes typically last slightly longer than Spirit tubes due to heavier construction.
Step 1
Genesis burner tube specifications vary across generations. The 2011-2016 Genesis 300 vs 2017+ Genesis II 300 trap is the most common ordering mistake — similar names, different parts. Identify your grill carefully here.

Common models
Quick Genesis identification rule: count your burners and check production year. 3 burners + front controls + 2017 or later = Genesis II 300 Series (use Part #67489). 3 burners + front controls + 2011-2016 = Pre-Genesis II Genesis 300 (use Part #62752). 3 burners + side controls + pre-2010 = Legacy Silver/Gold/Platinum. Different burner counts (2 or 4) indicate Genesis II 200 or 400 Series — adjust quantity but same per-tube specifications. The 2011-2016 vs 2017+ trap is real — different mounting brackets despite similar tube length. Always verify production year, not just model name.
Most Common Tier
Genesis II / Genesis II LX 300 Series — the most common Genesis tier currently in homes. These grills feature the GS4 grilling system and use specific tapered burner tubes.

Official Weber replacement burner tube kit for Genesis II / Genesis II LX 300 Series running natural gas (NG). 3 main burner tubes. NG orifices are different from LP — verify your fuel type before ordering. Fits same Genesis II 300 model range as the LP kit.
304-grade stainless aftermarket burner tubes for Genesis II / Genesis II LX 300 Series. Set of 3 main tubes matching OEM dimensions (19-1/2" or 19-3/4"). Available from QuliMetal, Hongso, Uniflasy, BBQration, BBQ777. Replaces Weber Part #67489.
Stainless steel sear burner tube for Genesis II 300 Series models WITH sear stations (typically 330/335 variants). The sear station is a smaller dedicated burner between the main burners for high-heat searing. Only fits Genesis II grills with sear stations — verify your model has one before ordering.
Sear station identification: only Genesis II 330 / E-330 / E-335 / S-335 / S-345 models have a Sear Station. Standard Genesis II 310 / E-310 / S-310 do NOT have a sear burner — they have only the 3 main burners. Check between your main burners for a smaller 4th burner. If present = sear station model. If absent = standard model.
Pre-Genesis II
Pre-Genesis II Genesis 300 Series with front-mounted controls. These grills are now 9-14 years old and the most common Genesis generation currently needing burner tube replacement.

Quantity matters more than dimensions for Genesis II burner tubes: per-tube specifications are similar across 200/300/400 Series within the same generation. The variable is how many tubes — 2 for 200 Series, 3 for 300 Series, 4 for 400 Series. Match quantity to your burner count. Always verify by counting your existing burner tubes before ordering.
Pre-2010 Legacy
Pre-2010 Genesis Silver, Gold, and Platinum models with side-mounted controls use different burner tube specifications than current Genesis grills.
These older Genesis grills had horizontal burners oriented left-to-right (current Genesis grills have front-to-back vertical burners). Burner tubes for legacy Genesis are still available but from fewer sources, and aftermarket options are more limited compared to current Genesis II tubes.
Stainless steel burner tubes for Genesis Silver B/C, Gold B/C, Platinum I/II, and pre-2010 Genesis grills with side controls. Specifications vary by exact model. Contact Weber at 1-800-446-1071 with your serial number for exact part identification.
Push-button ignitor kit for pre-2002 Genesis grills (Genesis 1000-5500, Genesis Silver/Gold with piezo ignition). Includes mounting hardware, electrode, and collector box assembly. Often needed alongside burner tube replacement on legacy Genesis.
For 20+ year old legacy Genesis grills, Weber and authorized dealers (grillparts.com) are typically the most reliable parts sources. If you can't find specific burner tube parts on Amazon for your legacy Genesis, contact Weber directly — they continue to support older models for warranty claims and parts orders. Genesis Silver/Gold/Platinum production ended over 15 years ago, but Weber still stocks parts for older grills.
Buying Strategy
Burner tubes are gas-carrying parts where fit precision matters. Here's how to choose between OEM and aftermarket for Genesis specifically.
Manufactured by Weber to exact factory tolerances. Perfect fit guaranteed. 304-grade stainless. Includes mounting hardware. Preserves warranty on newer Genesis. Direct Weber customer service for installation support.
Buy OEM when:
Third-party manufacturers (QuliMetal, Hongso, Uniflasy, UikJOY, OSWANER, BBQration) make 304-stainless tubes dimensionally compatible with Weber Genesis. 40-60% cheaper than OEM. Bulk discounts on multi-tube replacements.
Buy aftermarket when:
Same recommendation as Spirit burner tubes: aftermarket is genuinely good value on 8+ year old Genesis grills. The savings ($40-60 per set) are meaningful and quality gap is small. Stick with aftermarket brands that have 500+ 4.5-star reviews. For Genesis grills still under Weber's 10-year warranty, OEM preserves coverage and is worth the premium.
DIY Installation
Genesis burner tube replacement is moderate-difficulty DIY. 30-45 minutes with basic tools. Critical safety step: test for gas leaks before firing up.
Safety first: turn off gas supply completely
Turn off LP tank valve (for propane) or NG supply valve. Turn all grill control knobs to OFF. Disconnect gas hose from LP tank or NG supply. Prevents accidental gas flow during repair.
Remove cooking grates and flavorizer bars
Lift cooking grates out (heavier on Genesis than Spirit due to larger size). Remove flavorizer bars from support brackets. Set aside cleanly.
Remove heat deflectors
Genesis grills have heat deflectors above each burner tube. Lift each deflector out — they sit on small mounting tabs without screws. Set aside.
Unscrew burner tube mounting
Locate mounting screws at the back of each burner tube (inside the cookbox). Use Phillips screwdriver. Genesis burner tubes typically have 1-2 mounting screws per tube. 4 screws total for 3-burner Genesis 300/II 300.
Disconnect burner tubes from gas valves
At the front of the grill, each burner tube connects to a gas valve via venturi. Gently wiggle and pull each tube straight back to disconnect. DO NOT FORCE — excessive force damages valves.
Install new burner tubes
Slide each new burner tube's venturi end onto the valve tube. Ensure proper alignment — the tube should seat fully without gaps. Reinstall mounting screws at back. Repeat for all 3 (or 2 or 4) main burners. If your Genesis has a sear burner (330 or 335 models), install that separately.
Reinstall heat deflectors, flavorizer bars, and grates
Replace heat deflectors first, then flavorizer bars, then cooking grates. Verify everything seats properly — Genesis components should sit flat.
CRITICAL: Test for gas leaks
Reconnect gas supply. With all knobs OFF, turn on gas at the tank or supply. Mix dish soap and water; spray on all gas connections at the back of each burner tube. Look for bubbles — any bubbling indicates a gas leak that must be fixed before lighting. If no bubbles appear, installation is sealed.
Test burner operation
Light each burner individually. Check for uniform blue flame along the entire length. Yellow flame or weak spots indicate improper airflow or burner seating — turn off, let cool, check venturi alignment.
Avoid These
Mistakes that waste money on wrong parts or create safety issues after installation.
The most common Genesis burner tube ordering mistake. Genesis 300 (2011-2016) uses Part #62752 (LP) or #62799 (NG). Genesis II 300 (2017+) uses Part #67489 (LP) or #67491 (NG). Tube lengths are similar (~19-1/2"), but mounting brackets, venturi connections, and igniter positions are different. Wrong-generation parts won't fit. Always verify production year.
Propane (LP) and Natural Gas (NG) Genesis burner tubes have different orifice sizes. Installing wrong-fuel tubes results in incorrect flame (yellow instead of blue) and unsafe combustion. Always verify your grill's fuel type — check the regulator or fuel connection for LP/NG markings — before ordering.
Genesis 330 / E-330 / E-335 / S-335 / S-345 models have a sear station with a separate burner tube (Part #62753 / #62798 for 2011-2016, #67454 for Genesis II). The standard "burner kit" includes only the 3 main burners — sear burner is sold separately. Order both if your Genesis has a sear station.
After installing new burner tubes, the soapy water leak test at gas connections is non-negotiable. Skipping this can result in slow gas leaks that cause fires or explosions when the grill is lit. The test takes 5 minutes and requires only soapy water. Always perform before first use.
If one Genesis burner tube has failed, the others are likely close to failing too. Replacing all main burner tubes as a complete set ensures even performance and avoids a second repair in 6-12 months. Cost difference is modest ($25-50 for full set vs $15-25 individual), and labor time is identical whether replacing one or three.
