How to minimize grease flare-ups in your Proctor Silex gas grill

Grease flare-ups are often caused by damaged or dirty flame tamers so clean or replace the flame tamers when grease flares up while you're grilling.

Grease can also pool on corrosion inside the firebox instead of sliding down into the grease cup. Replace the firebox if you find corrosion that's collecting grease. Another source of flare-ups is too much grease and debris in the grease pan below the burners. Old, dried grease left in the drain pan will liquefy, vaporize and then burn as the grill heats up. Check the grease pan before firing up your grill and clean the pan if you find heavy residue.

Common replacement parts for Proctor Silex gas grills

• Electric spark control module. The electric spark control module creates a spark that arcs to the burner to ignite the gas when the burner is on. The electric spark control module has either a battery or a piezoelectric system.
• Wheels. The wheels on the gas grill make it easier to move.
• Igniter electrode. The igniter electrode receives electrical current from the igniter module and produces a spark between the tip of the electrode and the burner to light the gas during the ignition process.
• Main burner. The main burner of a gas grill is a metal tube with small holes on each side that distributes the gas through the holes to create an even flame across the cooking area. The gas grill main burner is mounted in the fire box, under the grates and flavor bars.
