Where to Find Your Grill's Serial Number

Grill manufacturers place serial number labels in locations designed to withstand outdoor conditions but remain accessible for service purposes.

Gas grills: serial number label on the inside of the grill lid, on the backside of the cart, or on the firebox frame Weber grills: serial number on a sticker inside the lid, on the leg, or stamped into the metal near the ignitor Traeger and pellet grills: serial number on the back panel or on the right side of the barrel Charcoal grills and kamado cookers: serial number on a label inside the lid or on the cart frame Built-in grills: serial number on the burner box frame, accessible from the front when the doors are open

What a Grill Serial Number Unlocks

With a serial number, baby boomers can access comprehensive ownership information even for grills purchased years ago.

Manufacture date confirmation -- the serial number often encodes the year and month of manufacture Parts compatibility lookup -- replacement burners, grates, igniters, and heat shields identified for your specific model Recall status check on the manufacturer's website or at cpsc.gov -- gas grill recalls occur and often involve ignition and gas valve components Warranty status lookup -- even for older grills, the serial number confirms the original warranty period and start date

A grill's serial number can unlock a decade of parts support, recall history, and warranty information -- finding it takes two minutes, and registering it takes two more.
