Hot Spots

If you are experiencing Hot Spots across your cooking surface you should examine the following parts of your Barbeque to determine where exactly the problem is.

1) Heat Medium i.e. ceramic briquettes, lava rock,  or what ever method your BBQ uses to distribute heat across the cooking surface.

   Your cooking medium should be uniform in is placement over top of the burner.  Make sure there are no large open areas in one spot and completely covered areas in other spots. 

2) Check the burner for large rust holes or blocked flame holes that could be causing more or less heat in that particular area. 

3) Look around the inside of the casting for grease build up.  Pools of grease can ignite and be adding unwanted heat to you grilling surface.  Clean these areas with a degreaser available at your local BBQ dealer.
