Thank you for posting! We were able to follow your video without issue. Also appreciate you including the Amazon link!
Thank you! Have same issue with the replacement burners not aligned with fuel lines. The simple unscrewing on the knobs will save me from just giving up and buying a whole new grill. This is the best video addressing the issue. Thank you again!
OUTSTANDING, YOU MAKE ME PROUD. LIKE YOU SAID MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TOSSED THE GRILL OUT.
this was so helpful because it's the only video that had any footage of the burner lines! Thanks
Man, I was searching and searching for parts on Amazon, but NEVER found my model number in the list of grills that are compatible. I'm glad I found this video, because this is my exact grill. You're a dad-saver, err I mean life-saver.
Great video. Bravo for replacing parts rather than trashing the grill. Very money saver savvy and better than adding more trash to the landfills.
I'm looking at this because I found a grill while delivering for doordash 😂
I just grabbed a gammers chair off the street and fixed it for 35 cents. My kid loves it.
Wow! Not sure we would've been able to do this without your video. Well done! SOOOO helpful!
Thanks Linda!
Great video, Jon! My replacement parts arrived today and I was sort of bummed there were no directions. This was just what I needed. Going to fit the parts tomorrow!
This was an AWESOME tutorial!! Thanks a thousand!!!!
Thanks for this. About to tackle it tomorrow when my rebuild kit comes in from Amazon.
Thank you so much for this excellent video! I now have the confidence to try to fix my grill!
In my case, I had one burner flaring up badly. Thought it was rusted through but after pulling out and inspecting it, it looked ok. When I looked inside I saw a dense spider web that was blocking flow. A small twig and some compressed air and voila! back to grilling! Thanks for the "how to". really helped with disassembly.
Thats insane. Glad it helped
Good info and easy to follow instructions along with the video. Appreciate this.
Excellent video ! Thanks!
Worked like a charm. Thank you
Thanks so much man - perfect instruction. Didn't have the same problem you had with lining up th burner valves - but appreciate your attention to the importance of that step!
Thanks for the links.
The last place you want to get replacement parts is at Lowes where I bought the grill. I just got 2 universal burner tubes & they charged me $30.63 ! !
They're going back tomorrow.
Thank you. This is a really instructive video.
This was really helpful. Thanks a lot!
This is fantastic, thank you!
Good info here, Jon. Thanks!
Very helpful!!! Thanks!!
Thanks Jon! You saved us a lot of time & frustration. Great video
Thanks Beth!
Just snagged a free gas grill from down the street and this video will get me going on repairs.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Same. Picked it up last night from my neighbor down the street, and I've been up watching cleaning/repair videos.
Thank You So Much!
Thanks for this video... I think you forgot to add the gas lines from each burner (in the grill) to light all the others. Im trying to replace mine tomorrow. This is much more helpful than zero instructions. Thank you .
good to know thx for posting
Jon, great damn video!!! I would suggest to all as well, be sure to vacuum as much old cooking debri as well, while you have burners out.
Thanks pipeline! appreciate your comment. Jon
Thank you so much.
Good info!!
Looks good
Hey man thanks! Think you are going to get my wife out of a tizzy for not having her gas grill and, "I'm just going to get a new one." I take it the parts should not be too hard to obtain.. Lastly, ours did have not a factory fitted cover which was a big mistake. We tried an aftermarket and the wind just ruined it. I think the fitted cover will retard a lot of moister inside the grilling unit. Again, thanks for a nice post.
Great video, thanks! We have one question: how do you replace the igniter? I couldn't get the fuel tube to loosen enough to remove the igniter module, do I also need to replace the ceramic lighters at the same time? Sorry if the terminology is incorrect, and thanks in advance!
You are fast. Very good.
I agree I often go on Kijiji for free furniture and bbq's ... If you are willing to use albow greese and internet searching you can save a lot of money. I just picked up a $700 bbq for free I have to spend $50 on parts and another $10 on angle iron but I get a great bbq for 5 another 5 years.
Thanks for the video. Was about to toss mine out.
My trough is burnt through and they don’t make it anymore. Could I replace it with burner guards or would that not work?
Wow, excellent video. Thanks. I have my grease tray all rusted and there's even a big 8 inch diameter hole in the middle. Any tips on how to replace that?
Buy a piece of sheet metal larger than the hole from Lowes or HD. Use self tapping metal screws to attach the sheet metal to bottom of grill tray.
Any recommendations for a weber grill? Amazon doesnt seem to have much of a deal on weber parts
Great vid. What if the grease catcher bottom part has completely rusted out?
I have been asked that recently and I hate to say the model that I own does not have a removeable grease catcher so I would have to fabricate a new one.
What about the crossover tubes? When do they need to be replaced?
Short and to the point! I like it! For some reason 1 of the 4 burners is not lighting. Is there any reason that could be happening? Everything looks ok regarding coupling. Any suggestions? I took photos to see if you would see anything odd with it that I am not catching. Thanks!
Pull it out ant put it back in. Might have gotten a piece of debris in the line. Also check that your knobs are aligned correctly
Thanks so much. I can't seem to get my new igniter clips to clip onto the new gas burners.They seem to be simply too small. Ideas?
Use a pair of plyers to widen them and then put a kink on the ends so they grip the burner. It could also be you are not trying to clip it back on to the ignitor that has a shallow concave area to its width. Some (not mine) actually have a specific burner that the ignitor attaches too. Not important where you put that burner in the line up but the ignitor is designed to attach to that one. Non of mine had it but I was told it exists on some of the burners. I was yelled at for not including it in the video. Mine did not have it so I could not show it in the demonstration. Seems to be a change on some of the later models.
hi john what do you think about high heat spray paint for the bottom once you vacumed it out
would look great but I don't really see the purpose unless it has some sort of Rustoleum protection to keep the base from rusting if rain were to get inside during a storm. Thanks Jon
Any suggestions on getting rusted screws out? Several broke out but can't get the screw off the igniter. It's a little different from the one pictured here
Get a titanium drill bit and just drill out the heads
I found that Seminole shirt pretty familiar.
1996 Grad.
Unfortunately, master forge screwed the ignitors on to the burners and the screws themselves are too corroded for me to unscrew them to replace the burners. The clip was a much better idea. Since I can't just simply remove the burners to replace them, I'm not sure what to do. It seems like I have to replace the burners and the ignitors. And how does one even change the battery on the ignitor?
Any idea where I could get a replacement temperature gauge for my charbroil grill? Looks just like yours
amzn.to/3hhHiQs
Everthing went ok, but having issues getting 3 of the burners to light, I will check to make they are seated correctly
You have to have the connectors between burners installed before all the burners will all light, duh!
You forgot to install the carryover tubes.
Great video. I will do the same in a few months. Mine are not that bad but what did go bad was the grease tray which is some type of thin cheap steel sheet underneath the black bottom of grill. Have you ran into that problem yet?
Diego, so far my bottom is holding up. But I use a grill cover when not in use. I think that is caused from pooling water when it rains. And it accelerates the rust. But that is just my guess.
@@JONSDIY I have a cover. It's just a small hole in the middle but its spreading. I think it may have happened from cleaning and using water and soap and not completely drying the bottom of water. And what sucks about the bottom tray is that it's bolted in with very small pop rivets.
Great video Jon! @Diego I can relate, my entire grill was refurbished including my steel grates at the top, and I just noticed that the bottom steel sheet (which doesn't come off) has a hole in it. I've searched the internet high and low and so far found nothing to easily replace it.
@@jamesnitzberg8405 if the rust gets too bad on the grease pan you have 2 options. 1 is to use a mitter saw or some type of smaller electric saw and cut it out then bolt on a new piece of sheet metal to the bottom with a latch so you can clean it( alot of work I know) or you can replace the entire grilling enclosure which actually the part isn't that expensive when I checked the website.
What about the carryover tubes that supply propane to all 4 burner lines
not on this model.
Are the arm stabilizers required? On mine, the pins are snapping off when trying to remove to clean out the burner tubes. Is this okay?
If you watch closely I do not replace them. I broke the pins as well. But my replacement kit did not come with the stabilizers so I did not bother to replace them. The grill is still going strong without them. Thanks for watching and don't forget to hit that subscribe button. Jon
You did not get new cross over tubes with that new kit? I didn't see you put the old one's back on or new ones on. At the end of the video you are cooking steak and it looks like you only have flame on the left side. Do you manually light the others?
Dave, you are correct, the new kit did not come with cross over tubes. I did not re-install the old crappy ones. Second you are correct. Each of my burners can be turned on/off but I need to have the second from the left on to ignite them to get started. Turning only 2 burners on saves gas.
do you clean/scrape the burnt food off with a wire grill brush or will this destroy the cast iron / coating? ive just bought a char broil and am unsure whether i need to use plastic brush when cold or if i can use wire brush
Yes I do use a wire brush. Plastic brush will not get the job done. Anyway, I doubt that a wire brush will do any harm to cast iron. Allowing the grill to sit out in the rain and continuously get wet will allow the coating to rust and start to flake then it does not matter what type of brush you use. Overall, not buying a plastic grill cover will always shorten the life of the iron components on your grill. I always spray a couple of coats on my grates with PAM and let it sit for a while before my first use of the grill.
@@JONSDIY ok thanks, appreciate the reply.
john- northern ireland.
Where did you get your kit? I have the same grill and need to replace these also
check the description.
What grates do you have? I have the same grill but my grates are rusty.
I have the grates that came with the grill. The secret is to spray a heavy coat of PAM on them let them sit for a day. Spray another coat on before cooking. This seems to keep them lasting forever. Yes, PAM the non stick cooking spray. Lol
What about carry over tubes. My replacement parts came with but I see you didn’t replace yours. Are they needed?
Thank you. I noticed that as well. You referred to them as stabilizers. They are what carry the fire across to light the other tubes since you only have one tube with igniter on it; without the carryover, you will only light one tube with the button and still need something to light the other tubes. Still a good video. Thank you.
We are talking a gas grill. You only need on ignitor and it really does not matter which burner tub its on. Gas will ignite all the burners. There was no carry over tube on my grill. Thanks for your comment.
@@JONSDIY Some CharBroil gas grills (like my old one) do have the carry over tubes and are necessary for it's function. It's model-specific as opposed to fuel-specific. Jut FYI. Still a good video!
No.crossover tubes? The original parts had them. I see you took them off. But the new parts did not cine with them?
J. You are correct. The new parts did not include them. And mine were to shot to put back on. But I am still going strong without them.
How do those burner Guards stay in position ? Mine uses the same guards that have the spokes that go into those slots.
Mine just have tiny nubs that keep them from sliding back and forth. They are small but work.
@@JONSDIY Ok thanks, I had a massive flare up - Almost look like it was about to blow up. Not sure if it was cause of the grease or the flame tamers needing replacement .
@@ryanhosiassohn7176 Yes it is always good to clean the bottom of the grill every once in a while to avoid flare ups.
@@JONSDIY thanks ,but I’m not sure if the grease was the cause or if it was due to the flame tamers being old
@@ryanhosiassohn7176 hard to say without seeing it happen.
What about the carry over tubes? Without those don't you have to light each burner individually? I noticed you removed them but did not reinstall them. Just curious.
Jerry no. The carry over tubes are only support brackets. Each gas feed has its own gas feed line as shown during installation. Only one lighter exists and then each gas line ignites from the flame beside it.
He forgot to install them. D'oh!
I have a question for you plz
My grill knobs not moving right
The grill is working but temp is less than 350 f
The knobs moving but looks like not connected to the valves some how
Do you have a solution?
Is this after reassembly?
The grill portion, where the food lays on, it’s pretty crappy. Any recommendations on reviving those?
Good video, but it would also be nice to know where you ordered these parts from
@@chrisouellette5816 Its in the description
Chris, I would recommend buying a new set. This time before your very first grill day take the grates and spray them with PAM. Then let sit and put on a second coat of PAM. Allow it to dry and then not only will your food not stick to the grates but they will last 10 times longer. Mine are the originals and that why I did not have to replace them. But if your set on keeping them, I would take them to the garage and grab a grinder and put a metal wire wheel on it and remove the top layer until all look new.
Thanks!
@@JONSDIY How often do you spray PAM on your grates, they looked awfully good considering the condition of the inside of your grill. Mine rusted away - they are the most expensive part of the refurbishment!! Thank you.
What’s the Amazon link? Thank you.
Please see the description.
Hey Jon I have the exact same grill model that you have right here and just trying to find Amazon where you found these parts for a little over 12 dollars. Can you send me a link please. Thank you!!!
Hey Chad, The stated cost was 20$ and this video was posted 2 years ago. So I don't know the current price. But the links are always in the description.
$71 , just checked. might as well buy a grill on sale😂
@@ironmanepf1 $32.00 now. this video is 2 years old and it was only $27 at the time. I did not get the grates. I spray mine with PAM and it makes them last a life time.
@@JONSDIY Amazon?
it lifts straight up UNLESS its rusted together like mine. pried it apart with flat head
Holy cow. did you see how rusted mine were. I could have crushed them with my hands. LOL
I need you to tell me what my gas grill needs
send me a few pics of the interior and the model number on my FB and I will assist.
How do i get your FB info? I'm not on FB but i have messenger
Armone Moore on messenger
We have a very old BBQ grill that is a gas grill that is broken
Ok?
Where did you find these parts for 27.00?
Amazon.
Can you please post the link for where to buy parts
Jay Paraman see description
What model number is this grill?
463436215
you forgot to replace the gas cross over tubes between the burners
Yes they were to damaged and did not come in the replacement parts. I explained this in the video and mentioned the notches will hold them still.
Did you vacuum your GRILL? Lol
EZ oven off, 1 1/2" putty knife, and a hose ftw ;-)
You forgot crossover tubes
Not really. Mine were so bad I could not put them back on. And they did not come with the new set. So I did not re-use them. Eagle eye there rpatric21!
Thanks for the comment
I would love to know the measurements of your grease tray. The charbroil grill that I have I can nolonger find a grease tray for it. The model number of my grill is 463411911.
Lilly, My grease pan is not a separate part on my grill. It is all referred to as the Firebox in my manual. My grill is model 463436215. But to answer you question my grease pan is 28 inches.
Thank for letting me know. The one I have is old and the grease pan rusted beyond fixing. I guess I have to get someone to make one for me . Because the grill is still useable. I am just trying to bring it completely back to life. Lol
@@lillyevans6463 I know how you feel. I hate throwing things away when they can be restored, repaired or just fixed. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe.
Is that rat poop in the grill
yes. Mice. they climb up in the grill while its still warm to escape the cold.
