16517 Grill Grates Replacement Parts for Bull 4 Burner Grill - Heavy

In this review of the 16517 grill grates replacement parts, the bottom line is simple: these heavy solid stainless grates are aimed at owners of Bull and compatible grills who want stronger, longer-lasting cooking surfaces. The reviewer found them especially valuable for anyone replacing worn factory bars or upgrading from stainless-wrapped steel, because the solid 7mm rods deliver better heat retention and a sturdier feel. Fit is a frequent positive and the package of four 19 1/4 by 7 1/2 in grates covers the full cooking area for a 4-burner layout.

Key Features

• Solid stainless construction: Solid rods resist wear better than wrapped alternatives and promise longer service life with routine care.
• Large 7mm rod diameter: Thicker rods hold and transfer heat more effectively, producing more even searing across the grate.
• High heat retention: The heavier design helps the grates maintain temperature when food is added, improving sear and cook times.
• Exact replacement size: Each of the four pieces measures 19 1/4 L x 7 1/2 W in, fitting many Bull and Lion 4-burner models without modification.
• Wide compatibility: Labeled as compatible with original part number 16517 and multiple Bull, Outlaw, LoneStar and Lion models for straightforward swaps.
• Easy maintenance: Plain stainless steel cleans with standard grill-care routines and benefits from oiling before and after use.

Who It's For

This set is best for owners of Bull Angus, Outlaw, LoneStar, Steer Premium and similar 4-burner grills who need a direct replacement for worn grates or want a sturdier upgrade. It suits backyard cooks who value even heat distribution and a durable cooking surface for frequent grilling.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of grills with different grate dimensions or those who prefer cast-iron grates for extreme heat retention and seasoning behavior. Also confirm your grill model and original part size before ordering if you are unsure of compatibility.
