Official Weber gas grill parts

Commonly replaced Weber gas grill parts

• Pressure regulator. The pressure regulator on the supply line from the propane tank controls the pressure of the gas going to the grill. It often includes the gas supply hose and the fittings that connect the propane tank to the manifold.
• 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 main burner is mounted in the fire box, under the grates and flavor bars.
• 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.
• Burner bracket. The burner bracket on a gas grill holds the main burners in place.

How to minimize grease flare-ups in your Weber 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.
