Coyote Replacement Parts and Accessories Guide
Coyote sells replacement parts through its authorized dealer network and the Coyote service portal — the serial plate on the drip tray or the back of the unit is the fastest route to the right part. For covers, briquettes, and conversion kits, the two things to match are the series (C, CL, SL, or C3C30 flat top) and the generation (Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3). Mixing generations is the single most common Coyote parts mistake.

What you need
- Flashlight (for finding the serial plate)
- Phone camera (for photographing the serial plate)
- Tape measure (for cover and jacket sizing)
- Owner's manual (or the part number from a prior order)
Step by step
Find the model and serial number first
Coyote's model and serial plate is on the drip tray or the back panel of the unit, depending on the series. Photograph the plate before you order — the serial number is required for warranty-covered parts and is the only reliable way to confirm which generation you own. A C-Series 4-burner from 2018 and a C-Series 4-burner from 2024 use different valves, different briquette trays, and a different LP-to-NG conversion kit.
Decide if you need a cover, a briquette set, or an interior part
Covers protect the exterior and are matched to the series, size, and mount. Ceramic heat-control grid briquettes are the consumable Coyote uses instead of standard flavor bars — they age and eventually crack, and a fresh set resets uneven heat. Interior parts (burners, valves, ignitors, regulators, rotisserie components) are matched to the serial number and ordered through the dealer portal.
Match the cover to the series, size, and mount
Coyote stocks separate covers for the 30-inch flat-top built-in, the 30-inch flat-top freestander, the 50-inch hybrid combo built-in, the 20,000 BTU portable, and the 15,000 and 30,000 BTU side burners. Built-in and freestanding versions exist for each grill head because the cart base changes the cutout at the bottom. A freestanding cart cover on a built-in head leaves a gap that defeats the purpose.
Replace ceramic briquettes as a full set, not piecemeal
Coyote's replacement ceramic heat-control-grid briquettes ship in a set of 2 for 50-inch grills. Even if only one tile looks cracked, swap the whole set — ceramic ages uniformly and mixing new and old tiles causes hot and cold spots across the cook surface. The full-set swap is also how you reset the heat retention on a grill that has started cooking cool on one side.
Match an LP-to-NG conversion kit to generation, not just size
Coyote's LP-to-NG conversion kit for 34- to 42-inch C-Series and S-Series grills is specific to Gen 2 models. A Gen 1 grill and a Gen 2 grill of the same size do NOT share a conversion kit — the valve orifices are drilled to different diameters. Confirm the generation with the serial-plate photo before you order, and have a licensed plumber do the conversion.
Add the insulated jacket when installing a side burner into a combustible counter
Coyote stocks insulated jackets for the 15,000 BTU single-side burner, the 30,000 BTU double-side burner, and the 60,000 BTU power burner. These are UL-listed sleeves required when the burner mounts into a wood, HDPE, or composite surround. Note that Coyote's main grill heads are sold without a required grill-head jacket — clearance to combustibles is handled by the surround and the grill's own insulation on the C, CL, and SL lines. Always confirm the clearance numbers in the owner's manual for your specific model.
Order through an authorized dealer or the service portal
Coyote routes replacement-parts orders through authorized dealers and the Coyote service portal. Have your serial number, the part number if you have it, and a photo of the failed part ready. Warranty-covered parts require proof of purchase per the Coyote registration flow.
Common mistakes
- Ordering an LP-to-NG conversion kit by size alone. The Coyote Gen 2 kit fits Gen 2 grills; it will not seat correctly on a Gen 1. Confirm the generation with the serial-plate photo first. Same size, different drill spec on the valve orifices.
- Replacing a single ceramic briquette. A cracked briquette replaced in a set of old ones creates thermal mismatch across the cook surface. Swap the full set. The economics favor the full-set swap because the labor to pull the grates and tray is identical for one tile or all of them.
- Ordering a cover by grill size without checking the mount. A 30-inch built-in flat-top cover has a different bottom cut than a 30-inch freestanding flat-top cover. Confirm the series, size, AND the mount (built-in vs freestanding) before you order.
- Trying to convert a Coyote grill from propane to natural gas with a generic kit. Coyote grills are built for one gas type and conversions must be done by a licensed plumber using the matching Coyote conversion kit for your model's generation. Generic conversion fittings void the warranty and the UL listing.
- Ordering an aftermarket burner that 'looks like' a Coyote burner. Burner tubes, valves, and orifices are matched to the regulator and gas type on each Coyote model. A generic burner that fits dimensionally will often sit too low on the venturi stem, causing uneven flames, a soot pattern on the hood, and hot knobs.
Hands-on tips
- Photograph the model and serial plate once, store it in a shared phone album, and you'll never dig through the drip tray again.
- Keep a spare grease cup on the shelf — it beats cancelling a party because the current one rotted over winter.
- Replace the stainless grill brush every spring. A pack of two costs under $20 and you won't be picking bristles out of a steak.
- If you own the C3C30 flat top, buy a dedicated bench scraper and keep it with the grill, not in the kitchen. The scraper is the single best tool for daily griddle cleanup.
- Buy the matching freestanding cover when you buy the grill cart, not three weeks later when the cart is already sitting in the rain.
- Keep a backup igniter battery in the drawer; most Coyote electronic ignitions take a single AA.
- The Coyote 8-inch stainless smoker box is an under-$40 upgrade that lets a gas grill run cold-smoke sessions — pair it with hickory or oak chips and a side burner on low.
Questions people ask
Where do I find my Coyote grill's model and serial number?
The plate is on the drip tray on most grill heads and on the back panel for side burners, pizza ovens, and non-grill cabinetry. Photograph it before you order parts — the serial number is the only reliable way to confirm your model's generation (Gen 1 vs Gen 2 vs Gen 3).
Can I buy Coyote replacement parts directly from Coyote?
Coyote routes most parts orders through authorized dealers and the Coyote service portal. Have your serial number and proof of purchase ready if the part is warranty-covered.
How often do ceramic briquettes need to be replaced?
Ceramic heat-control grid briquettes typically last 3 to 5 seasons of regular use before cracks or heat-retention drop-off make a swap worthwhile. Signs it is time: visible cracks in any tile, a growing cold spot on one side of the cook surface, or flare-ups that didn't happen last season. Replace as a full set, not piece by piece.
Can I use a generic replacement burner in a Coyote grill?
No. Coyote burners are matched to the regulator and orifice on each model and generation. A dimensionally close generic burner will often misfire, produce uneven flames, or push heat toward the control panel. Order the OEM burner through the dealer or service portal.
Does Coyote stock parts for older grills?
Coyote supports its models for the duration of the published warranty period, and often longer for consumable parts like briquettes, hoses, and drip trays. For a 10-plus-year-old grill, parts availability drops off — the serial-plate photo and a call to an authorized dealer is the fastest way to confirm what still ships for your model.
