How to Install Bull Grill Replacement Parts: Step-by-Step Guide for Angus, Outlaw & Lonestar Models
Locate your Bull grill model number
Every Bull grill has a model number stamped on a data plate near the control panel or on the inside of a side panel. Common Bull models include 18248 (Outlaw), 87049 (Lonestar Select), 69009 (Steer Premium), 26039 (Angus), and the 57568/57569 Brahma series. Confirming your exact model number before ordering ensures you get burners, flame tamers, and grates sized correctly for your firebox.
Gather the tools and replacement parts
Most Bull grills use a set of cast stainless steel burners, flame tamers (heat plate shields), and cooking grates. Depending on your model, you will need a 4-burner, 5-burner, or 7-burner kit. Before starting, gather a Phillips-head screwdriver, a nut driver or socket set, and a stiff brush for firebox cleanup. Shut off the propane tank or natural gas line at the source and let the grill cool completely before opening the lid.
Remove the old burners, flame tamers & heat plates
Lift out the cooking grates and set them aside. Remove the flame tamers (heat plate shields) covering each burner. Locate the mounting bracket or cotter pin securing the rear of each burner tube, then slide the burner forward off the gas valve orifice and lift it out. Repeat for every burner position. Brush out any rust flakes, grease buildup, or debris from the firebox floor before installing new parts.
Install the new 304 stainless steel burners
Align the venturi opening of each new burner tube squarely over its gas valve orifice, then slide the burner rearward until it seats fully on the valve. Secure the rear bracket with the original screw or cotter pin. Check that each burner sits level and does not rock — misalignment is the most common cause of poor ignition and uneven flame on rebuilt Bull grills.
Replace the flame tamers, heat plates & cooking grates
Set the new flame tamers (heat plate shields) over each burner, seating the tabs into the firebox slots so the burner is fully shielded from drippings. Reinstall the cooking grates, positioning multi-burner grates (4-, 5-, or 7-burner configurations) so they sit flush and level across the cooking surface.
Leak-test and fire up
Reconnect the gas supply. Brush a soap-and-water solution over each valve connection and turn on the gas — bubbling indicates a leak that needs re-tightening. Once the connections test clean, light each burner and check for a steady blue flame. A yellow, weak, or uneven flame usually means a burner is misaligned or the venturi is blocked. Run the grill on high for 10–15 minutes to burn off manufacturing oils from the new stainless parts before cooking.
Why 304 stainless steel matters for Bull grills
Bull grills are built for heavy outdoor use, and lower-grade steel burners or flame tamers can warp, rust, or burn through within a season. 304 food-grade stainless steel resists corrosion and holds its shape under repeated high-heat cycles, so your rebuilt Bull grill performs like new for years instead of months.
