| WHY AM I GETTING FLAMES UP THE FRONT OF MY BBQ? | |
|
Flames Up Front of Barbeque Cause: Usually this problem is caused by spiders /spider webs in the venturi tubes blocking the flow of gas into the burner causing it to bleed back out under the BBQ and up the front of the casting. Solution: 1) Remove Cooking Grills and Heat Medium (ceramic briquettes, lava rock, etc.) and remove the burner. 2) Insert a venturi tube brush into the burner tubes and push it in as far as it will go. Pull it out and check for webs, bugs, or both on the end of the brush. You may need to repeat this several times.
3) Re-install burner – CHECK THAT VALVES ARE FITTED INTO END OF VENTURI TUBES! 4) Re-light unit as per normal. You may need to replace any parts that were melted or damaged from the original flare up. Depending on the make and age of your BBQ, those parts should be readily available by ordering. (We have access to most BBQ parts) BBQ Warranty’s do not cover this type of problem – so regular maintenance to prevent this by cleaning out the venturi tubes at least once annually is strongly recommended. |
