Overview
At $17.98, the Charbroil 98782 and 78636 grill part is an accessible OEM-brand replacement. The compact 2.8 x 2.7 x 3.5 inch dimensions point to a small hardware component, likely in the ignition or valve assembly based on the size profile. The 8.0 lb weight is notable for such compact dimensions and suggests dense metal construction.

Performance notes
The 2.8 x 2.7 x 3.5 inch footprint is compact, and the 8.0 lb weight indicates this is likely a dense metal component. No BTU, burner count, or material type is listed in the available data. As an OEM Charbroil part carrying model numbers 98782 and 78636, it is engineered to match the factory specification for compatible Charbroil grill models. That provenance is a meaningful advantage over generic aftermarket alternatives.

Frequently asked questions
Does buying a Charbroil-branded part guarantee it fits my Charbroil grill?
It improves the odds significantly compared to aftermarket parts, but Charbroil has made many grill models over the years. Model numbers 98782 and 78636 correspond to specific grill generations. Always cross-reference those part numbers against your grill's documentation or Charbroil's own parts lookup to confirm compatibility.
Why does this compact part weigh 8.0 pounds?
Dense metal construction, such as cast iron or heavy-gauge steel used in burner components, valve bodies, or heat distribution hardware, can weigh considerably more than the compact exterior dimensions suggest. Without a published material spec, the exact reason is not confirmed, but the weight is consistent with a solid metal grill component.
