How to Correctly Measure the Gas Grill Burner in Your Grill
Hey Y’all!! Grill Girl here! Time for another helpful video. Today we’re talking about how to correctly measure the gas grill burner in your grill so you can find the right replacement.
It’s time to replace your burner when the holes are clogged up, the metal is flaking apart, or you can see a hole in your burner. You may notice uneven flames or a big hot spot when you’re grilling.
How-To measure the burner in your grill:
- Remove the burner from your grill before measuring
** There is often a hitch pin or screw holding your burner in place at the back of your grill. Look for that first. Keep in mind that the old burner may have a lot of rust corroding in such a way that it’s bound the burner to the frame of the grill. It may take a little work and force to get it out. Do not force the burner too much. If you can’t remove it, check around the valve for anything else holding it in place. Locating a new valve is infinitely harder than measuring and replacing the new gas grill burner. - Measure the entire length of the burner piece from front to back.
**The front of the burner is where there is a large hold that fits over the valve. - If your burner is not linear, also measure the width at the widest spot.
**This measurement will help you insure an miscellaneous or unusual style burner gets the exact fit replacement.
