Content: In the grill featured in this video (a newly tested model from Char-Broil that’s a stand-in for demonstration purposes) the burner is secured with a pair of cotter pins; yours might use screws or another type of fastener. After removing the pins by hand, we lifted a carryover tube off the burner. Next we disengaged the burner from the electrode, which provides the spark when lighting the grill, by prying off a clamp with a small flathead screwdriver. At that point, the burner released freely from the electrode and valve opening. Be careful during this step not to crack or otherwise compromise the ceramic insulator around the electrode, or it could end up shorting out. Step 4
To install the new gas grill burner you simply need to reverse the same steps. In our case, that meant reconnecting the burner to the electrode and valve opening, placing the burner onto its firebox supports, reinstalling the carryover bracket, and slipping the cotter pins back into place. Step 5
It’s a good idea to test the burner before putting the grill back together. First, reconnect the gas supply line and try to light the burner.
