Content: the gas orifice is screwed into the tip of the control valve and determines the BTU rating of the grill and fuel type. We can go into the fire box with the cooking grates and flavorizer bars (Weber heat shield vaporizers) out of the way so the far left side bolts holding the pipe burners in place are accessible. If the botls are not totally covered in cooking greases and years of sauces we can unscrew these bolts, lift the burner up from the far left corner and slide the burner away from the burner. The other option is to below the gas manifold on the far right side. Under the manifold are two flat steel support brackets holding the manifold pipe to the right side of the barbecue firebox. In their intelligent foresight Weber attached these brackets with thumb-screws easily unscrewed to slide the entire manifold assembly off the burners. Usually we do not need to completely remove the manifold but just need to loosen the manifold so it slides away enough to extract the valves from the burners. Slide off the burner to access the gas orifice. Once the burner slides off the control valve on the Weber manifold we will see the very tip of the valve looks like a bolt with a hex-head. If we look closer we will also see there is a tiny hole in this bolt-head.
