Content: Start by disconnecting the grill from the propane or natural gas line. For good measure, make sure all the control knobs are in the off position. Then lift out the cooking grates and flavorizer bars, also known as heat plates. Step 3
The burner will now be fully visible and accessible. Though we found some variation in assembly from one brand to next, in most cases the gas grill burner is held in place at the front and back with hardware. 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.
