We do a agglomeration of How-To videos and attempt to go on the How-To role as close to i infinitesimal as possible and then the video moves pretty fast. This Blog Post is a slower version to shw how to remove and replace the 2 or 3 burners in a Weber charcoal-broil grill.
The model we are using is a Pre-2002 Genesis. Weber had very few big changes over the years. In one case Weber made the major changes that started with the Ducane purchase that led to the manufacturing overseas and led to the Weber family selling the visitor all the way to the new models this twelvemonth there have been tremendous changes in Weber and a visitor and changes to the models every year since 2007.
Still before 2007 Weber had only 2 or 3 major changes in 25 years. The model changes in 2002 was i of those times. The design is not obvious to a casual use or glance but the burners are slightly different, the ignition module and electrode are slightly different and footling things like the knobs and the hood handle changed that twelvemonth.
remove 13 flavorizers and cooking grates to go to the burners. Newer models have only 5 flavorizers.
Step 1.
Remove the cooking grates and the flavorizer bars from the BBQ. Older Weber models had 13 flavorizer oestrus shields just the newer models have 5.
These are the Weber vaporizers only Weber patented their pattern and calls them flavorizer bars. This is the big clandestine that guarantees even heat and protected burners with long warranty periods.
Old weber burners attach on the far left side of the firebox
Stride Ii.
On the far left side of the burners the front and back burners volition accept a bolt holding the burner to the aluminum fire box. Remove these bolts to Loose burners. Sometimes you'll need a de-greaser or something stronger to loosen the bolts. Sometimes you lot'll just need to cut them off.
Our old barbecue was badly treated and believed to be on its way to the garbage dump. Our burner support bolts had been cleaved just by getting left and then greasy, filthy and dingy for many years and then we did non take to unscrew, de-grease, lubricate or cut the bolts gratuitous.
This makes removing the old burners easier but re-installing the new burners will exist more than difficult.
remove control knobs, igniter button cover, side burner and 2 screws to lift off the control panel.
Pace 3.
Once the burners are loose we want to remove the control panel. This is a Genesis Argent C model then it has a side burner range on the far right side and it is cyberspace to the control panel.
We had to lift off the knobs and remove the igniter button past squeezing the sides and lifting it free in the front end of the button. And then we removed the side burner be unscrewing the bolts in the back and in the front of the side burner. Once the side burner is loosened from the structure of the barbecue it can be lifted out of place although its gas line is still attached to the manifold.
under the control console is the command valves, orifice, burner venturi, air shutter, spider screen and the manifold with its back up brackets.
Step Four.
Under the control panel the burners slide onto the valve orifice. At the top of the image is a pneumatic connection which is also called a "quick-connect" air hose plumbing equipment. This is the gas line to the side burner.
I choose not to remove the side burner gas hose because it is always very tight and hard to reattach. I left the side burner hanging off the cart and connected to the gas line. We do accept to remove the grate and other items from the side burner that are normally attached to the range top using gravity.
With the burner loose on the left side we can slide burner left so the venturi slides off the orifice and valve.
Stride Five.
Our manifold — the pipage that delivers gas to the command valves — back up brackets were very corroded where they attached to the aluminum fire box. The supports have thumb-screws to make the manifold easy to loosen in place. We did not loosen the manifold for fear of completely damaging the support brackets. With the manifold loosened the burners are much easier to slide free of the valve but…
Lift the burner from the left and slide the burner to the left and then the far correct side slides off the orifice. This volition take a little pushing so practise not exist afraid to exist strong here; merely exist careful.
This manifold bracket bolts are "frozen" then we'll probably interruption the brackets if we try to remove the manifold.
Step Half dozen.
Once the correct side of the burner — which is the venturi and the venturi has the air shutter and the spider screen on it — is free of the control valves lower the right side to clear the manifold and slide the burners out of the barbecue. We accept to slide the burner to the right to remove the burner from the gas grill considering the holes in the barbecue fire box are non wide enough to permit the air shutter through this opening.
Slide the new burner tubes into the burn box exactly the contrary of removing the ld burner tubes
Step Seven.
Once the burners are out for the barbecue information technology is a good idea to clean up a piffling. Your New Weber Burners are a pack of four burners. Isolate the crossover tube and the center burner. The forepart and back burners will take a hole for the cross over tube to slide into. The eye burner has a flat section on the far left side of the burner. The flat cut out will fit the cross over exactly.
Slide the new burners in only as we removed the old burners reversing direction.One time all iii chief burners are in the charcoal-broil push the cantankerous over tube into the back burner before attaching the main burner to the fire box. We'll need to spread the grill burner tubes past pushing the back burner back and the front burner forrard to allow the cantankerous-over burner to fit onto the opening. Twist the cross over so the flat bracket attaches to the middle burner.
weber burners accept to adhere to the valve orifice under the control panle on the correct side
Step 8.
With out loosening the manifold this is likewise a difficult move that requires focus and strength. Lift the left side of the burner to allow the burner to slide left and push the venturi onto the orifice. Even pushing the burners left volition not be plenty and the correct side will be tight because the burners will not move left enough to fit on the orifice. Instead we'll accept to force them slowly and strongly and then we practise non slip and slam into annihilation.
Fit the venturi opening of the charcoal-broil grill burner venturi tube onto the orifice at the tip of the command valve. The orifice is similar the jet in a carbeurator; the opening in the orifice is gauged exactly right then the verbal amount of gas is released into the burner. The orifice volition go into the burner about three-eigths of an inch and so the gas will spray into the burner where the air shutter is open. This causes the spraying gas to pull make clean air into the burner. The mixture of gas and air is what allows the burner to burn.
attach new burner tubes to the left side supports. we had to drill through the aluminum burn box because our onetime bolts were stuck in the holes.
Footstep Nine.
Once the front of the burner is fastened we can adhere the left side of the burner so the tubes practice non motility inside the barbecue burn down box. Remember we are working on a very, very old barbecue that would have been thrown in the garbage. Our burner support bolts were cleaved off in the aluminum casing of the grill fire box. We are going to have to either drill-out the opening and put a longer bolt through the burner and pigsty in the box and then nosotros can adhere a locking nut on the bottom or we will use a slightly larger cocky-tapping screw. Slightly larger means slightly larger. Think we are working with aluminum which melts and warps at lower temperatures than steel. Aluminum tin also crack or suspension.
drilling into the aluminum fire box to support the burners. nosotros used a drill bit slowly and so slowly screwed a screw through the opening in the burner back up
We drilled an opening to get rid of the broken bolt and so nosotros used a self-tapping screw slightly larger than the opening. Only the front and the back burners have attachments because the cross-over burner slides onto the middle burner so it is supported. If we are totally unable to drill out the burners we have also drilled into the soft aluminum simply next to the broken bolts. As long equally the burners are level they practise non necessarily have to be perfectly square — but they take to be really close so don't get out of hand installing burners at an angle or anything.
assuming the burners are attached correctly on the left and the correct side test the burners to make sure the ignite and and then cross over the continue ignition.
Pace 10
Once the burners are properly fitted onto the control valve and orifice and the left side is supported our new replacement burners are installed. Oftentimes we replace the igniter electrode and collector box at the same fourth dimension considering information technology if oftentimes in the manner by being inside the fire box.
Leak cheque the valve connection to the manifold past making sure the barbecue controls are off. Turn the gas tank to open the valve on the gas cylinder. Spray or pour soapy water on the connectedness and look for bubbles. Bubbles mean at that place is a leak. Since the side burner range acme is out of the mode and the command panel has been removed apply this time to also pressurize and test the pneumatic side burner zipper and the hose and regulator attachment. Usually if at that place is a leak it is from being bumped or damaged while working on something else.
the office of the burner that connects to the valve orifice is called the Venturi. Most venturi tubes accept an air shutter that allows the amount of air mixed with the gas to be inverse.
Low-cal the burners while the control panel is still off the BBQ. The burner flames should exist blue with a slightly xanthous tip. Sometimes the air shutters will need to exist adapted. To accommodate the mixture loosen the set-spiral on the air shutter. While the burner has flames slowly open up and shut the air shutter. Slide the air shutter closed the gas should increase and make the flames bluish. Sliding open volition brand the flames yellowish and sometimes the flames will appear to be floating above the burner because at that place is as well much air pushing the flames away from the burner ports. Conform the air shutter if necessary and tighten the set screw.
Now Melt Something!
nosotros went one step farther when testing our rebuilt barbecue and baked cookies on our newly refurbished weber genesis
We replaced those erstwhile rusted burners simply nosotros alos replaced the cooking grates, flavorizer oestrus shields, hood thermometer, baste tray, drip tray handbasket supports, side shelves, knobs….
We rebuilt this old charcoal-broil until it looks similar a brand new old model of a Weber Genesis from dorsum when Weber barbecues were fabricated in America and fabricated string enough to scrub the paint off the aluminum and repaint them.
After nosotros tested the burners, leak checked all our attachments and checked the orifices, valves and air to gas mixture we barbecued.
Kind-of.
Actually I thought everyone knows how to make chicken breasts and hamburgers and hot dogs and steaks and all the foods we accept all seen cooked. Sure some chefs may accept a improve recipe — not meliorate than me — just we've all got our own way to cook all the normal or traditional stuff we all normally barbeque.
The beginning food we cooked on our newly rebuilt Weber barbecue grill was baked cookies!
…and they were really, really, incredibly awesome.
