La Cornue lava rock grill service cost
A consumable rock bed, a linear burner cleared along its length, and a drip tray and grate that live under fat in a salt-air climate. Once the module is open the work is known, which is why this figure moves less than most.

What moves it
Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.
-
The state of the rock bed
A crust rather than loose rock. Consumable, and the cheapest part on the range.
-
Whether the burner is blocked
A grill that lights at one end and not the other adds time rather than parts.
-
Tray and grate condition
Corroded, they are parts. Sound, they are cleaned.
-
How long since it was last used
A module idle for a year has a burner with something living in it more often than people expect.
-
Whether the drip path drains
A closed drip path is what starves the burner of air and produces flare-ups.
The work itself
What we actually do
The job behind the figure: what it involves, when a symptom points at it, and what we check first.
-
from $225 Lava rock grill service
A linear 14,500 BTU burner under a bed of natural lava rocks, and a module that lives its whole life under fat. Weak or uneven flame, flare-ups, a burner that will not light along its length, and rocks that have turned into a sealed crust are the calls.
- Rock bed replaced rather than raked over
- The linear burner cleared along its whole length
- Drip tray and grate condition treated as part of the job

About La Cornue lava rock grill service cost
The cheapest thing you can do for a grill module
Replace the rock. It absorbs fat until it becomes one sealed mass, and at that point it has stopped radiating, started flaring and begun smoking — three complaints with one cause and one inexpensive answer. Everything else on this page is secondary to it. What justifies a service visit rather than a bag of rock is the linear burner, which has to be cleared along its whole run, and the drip path, which is where the air the burner needs actually comes from.

Questions about La Cornue lava rock grill service cost
Can I just buy rock and do it myself?
Yes, and we will tell you how. Natural lava rock is natural lava rock — use rock rather than ceramic briquettes, get the depth even, and it is genuinely a customer job. The reason to have it done as a service is the burner underneath, which wants clearing along its length at the same time and is not a job to do blind.
It flares up badly. Is that the grill or me?
Usually the bed. Saturated rock holds fat and gives it back all at once, and an uneven bed concentrates it on one side. After that it is the drip path. Technique matters too — a well-marbled steak on a lava grill will flare whatever we do — but a grill that flares on chicken has a bed problem.
