Grill Burner Troubleshooting

Before buying a new grill part from ibuygrillparts.com, try troubleshooting your grill burners to see if the problem is easily fixable. If these suggestions don’t work, you’re likely going to need some new parts, and our customer service representatives can help you pick out the right part for your grill and needs.

One of the most common problems that the burners on barbeque grills have is a simple one to remedy: clogs and build-ups. Check burners, venturi tubes, and hook-ups for the presence of insects, gunk, and clogs. If you notice some build up, use a brush or a rag to remove it and poke out and clogged holes with a sturdy wire or something similar. Whatever you stick into a hole on a grill should be smaller than the hole though, as you want to maintain your grill, not damage it. If you’re unable to remove gunk or unclog parts of the burner, you probably need to replace it. If there is any visible damage to the burner, such as cracks, then you are definitely going to want to replace the burner.

If you think you’re going to have to replace the grill burner, check our extensive online part catalog for your replacement grill burner. First pick the brand of your grill, then the model number, and you’ll be presented with a diagram of the grill so that you can select the right burner (as some models use different sized burners for different parts of the grill).
