Weber Genesis Propane Grill Burner and Flavorizer Bar Replacement Step by Step Process

[Music] all right hi once again bob with southern california grill cleaning and today we are going to be changing out the burners and flavorizer bars in this weber genesis this is the old style weber genesis it's got the controls on the right hand side over here uh the burners are super long uh this customer's had this for over 10 years and he's got some holes in the burners and his flavorizer bars are rusted out so today we're going to take them out and show you how we get that done put them back in and test it out so there are screws at the end of the burners here that are completely rusted and uh going to be difficult to come out now i have greased them up a little bit and i tried getting them with the screwdriver already but they're just frozen so we have a couple ways of attacking this when we run into this problem the first get a pair of pliers really cinch down on the screws and try and twist them out and that seems to be working here you can see grab and hold with the pliers and just really squeezing takes some time but it does the trick nasty screw out so now we need to get this burner out and you can see it's just a lift and coal now that works for our first one all this came out of the inside of this burner that's going to clog up your holes really affect how well this cooks so the first one came out easy looks like our second and third are going to do it as well look at all that and i think we're ready now we're going to install the burners and so the key with this is you've got three burners one of them has the igniter on it and this uh crossover bar here goes from burner to burner and that's how we light all three of them and then this little notch right here goes over the end of the one in the middle like this and we're good so the trick in doing this is putting them all back together at the same time because they have to be connected when they go back in they don't move around once they're in so we're going to set the igniter out and off to the side like that so we have room to play with this is our middle piece it's going to slide in here like that we're going to line that up in the hole now this end goes in this hole right here and then we do the same thing on the right side and almost voila that line so part of the trick is this is making sure that that burner gets on that valve and that orifice so we're putting the old screws back in and really it's just there to hold these burners in place while we're rolling the grill around they don't have to be tightened all the way down you need to be screwed in a little bit and you can see this thing won't come off as it's rolling around all right so our burners are in now we're going to slide this igniter back on there's a little bracket that these two pieces right here are gonna slide onto sometimes it might be easier to do that before we slide it in needs to come from the back to the front so these are the stainless steel flavorizer bars they sit over the burners to protect the burners and to disperse the heat you know we've got burner bars in here and if we don't diffuse the heat and spread it out then it is going to just cook in three straight lines going up so these things capture the heat spread it out in this tent like formation and they also are supposed to vaporize the juice from your meat or whatever you're cooking and send that vaporized juice back up into the meat helping to add for the flavor that's why they're called flavorizer bars part flavor part vaporizer [Music] now we've got the new flavorizer bars installed and the new burners and now let's see uh this bad boy light up hold that off so we can watch it lights right up carry it over to the next one there it goes there it goes so we pulled out the old ones we put in the new ones we tested it everything's working good put the grill back together and show our customer the job's done on to the next one [Music] you
