About the Lynx Trident (ProSear2) Burner
The Lynx Trident burner, also known as the ProSear2 burner, is a variable-temperature infrared burner that delivers intense radiant heat for steakhouse-quality searing while still allowing precise lower-temperature cooking for delicate foods.
This genuine OEM replacement includes the factory infrared screen and is manufactured to the same specifications as the original factory-installed burner for proper fit, ignition, and cooking performance.
Important Fit Note
This burner fits only Lynx grills originally equipped with the short Trident (ProSear2) infrared burner. It does not replace Lynx ceramic blue-flame burners, earlier rectangular ProSear burners, or the longer Trident burner used in select 30", 42" and 54" models.
Compatible Models
Common compatible models include:
L27PSR-3, L27PSFR-3, L36ASR, L36PSR-2, L36ASFR, L36PSFR-2 and L36ATRF.
Always verify your model and serial number before ordering. If you need help identifying your grill, see our Lynx Grill Serial Number Guide.
Short vs. Long Trident Burner
OEM part 33478 is the short Trident burner used in select 27" and 36" Lynx Professional grills.
OEM part 33415 is the long Trident burner used in select 30", 42" and 54" Lynx Professional grills.
Installing the correct burner is essential for proper fit and safe operation.
ProSear2 vs. Trident
ProSear2 and Trident are two names for the same variable-temperature infrared burner.
Some Lynx owner's manuals still refer to this burner as the ProSear2, while current replacement parts are identified as Trident. This does not indicate a different burner.
Signs Your Burner Needs Replacement
- Cracked or damaged ceramic surface
- Burner housing has rusted through
- Uneven infrared glow

BBQ Depot Tip: A loud whooshing sound during operation is a common sign that the burner should be replaced.

- Remove the cooking grate above the burner.
- Lift the burner from its support bracket and slide it away from the gas valve.
