Over time, the burners inside a gas barbeque grill can corrode, rust out and possibly shoot out large flames while cooking. And in this video I'll show you step by step how to replace the tube burners in a gas BBQ grill to get it running like new again!
The barbeque grill I’m repairing is a Charbroil Commercial Series 4-burner grill commonly found at Lowe’s and Home Depot. But even if you have a different brand, the repair should be similar to what I'm doing today thanks to the new parts I'll be using. It helps to have some newspaper or cardboard laid out for a place to set greasy parts from the grill on when taking them out.
To remove the actual burner, I need to slide out the cotter pins on the ends of each tube. And I'll set them aside because I’ll need them again later. There was a lot of grease caked on the ends of the burners so I had to use a screwdriver to help pry the tubes off their mounts.
When taking a closer look at the burner, I can see how bad they are and why the flames were shooting so high in parts of the grill. The large openings were letting too much gas through and causing flare ups from dripping grease.
To completely remove the burner, take a flat head screwdriver and pry off the ignitor. Then remove the other tubes by taking out the cotter pins and prying off the ignitors. Once that’s done, I'm ready to install the new replacement burners. Sometimes the old burners will just crumble because they're so brittle but you don't have to worry about that at this point. My grill also needed a really good cleaning and during this repair is the perfect time to do that.
For replacements, I bought 4 Master Forge Universal Tube Burners. What makes these universal is the ability to extend the tube from 12 inches to 17.5 inches. Making it really handy for different sized grills. The kit comes with a bag of hardware but for the installation on my grill, I only need one of the screws from the package.
It was helpful to lay out one of my old burners so I can measure how much I need to extend the replacement tube. To make the installation easier, I'll take a marker and draw a line on the tube so I’ll know where I need to lock the extension length. This is also a good time to adjust the size of the Venturi tube opening for the air/fuel mixture. I set mine to about half-way open to start with.
Now I’m going to attach the igniter to the burner itself. Please note that the Master Forge replacement burner doesn’t have a groove for the igniter clip to snap into like on the old tube. But the good thing is that the clip has enough tension to hold onto the smooth metal surface with no problem.
With the igniter attached, I’ll place the new replacement burner into my grill and test it out. When I know that the first burner is working, I can install the rest of the replacement burners into my grill. The final step is to reinstall the cotter pins that hold the new burner tubes in place.
Once that’s done, turn on the burners as usual and check the flames. They should have a nice blue color to them. You can adjust your flame by adjusting the size of the opening in the Venturi tube.
Again, the goal is to have blue flames all the way across. I ended up not re-using the crossover tubes after I finished. They’re not really necessary but now I’ll have to use the igniter on each burner I turn on. With the flames looking like this, and the burner tubes replaced, my grill is practically like new again!
This is an easy repair anyone can do and the parts are readily available either online as listed in my description or at your local big box hardware stores. If this video was helpful please give me a thumbs up and hit the subscribe button to stay up to date on all my home DIY projects!

The grill arrived in perfect condition. My husband assembled it in ~40 minutes and it worked great. Great addition to our patio.
Thanks for producing this video! The photography as excellent and now I know that I can keep my 10-year old Char Broil Grill and replace the rotted burner tubes.
Great video. I purchased a Char Broil grill from Lowes 2 years ago. Luckily I found the manual and did not realize the burner parts are warranted for 5 years!!! I almost ordered replacement burners for over $70. They registered my grill over the phone and only charged me $5 for shipping!!! Not all parts are warranted for the 5 years so call them before you spend money out of pocket, It was definitely worth the call!

@@digitalcamproducer Absolutely. I just order new burners, along with the usual reorder of shields and grates. I was a little hesitant with the burners because of dealing with gas, but your video took the mystery out of it.
I ha ve a vieluxe it is very old but the outside is in excellent condition since its stainless steel, I wonder if I can replace the burners as suggested
hi, great video. Getting ready to repair my grill, tried using your links but they dont seem to be working. i usually try using affiliate links
Do you need 4 ignition starters instead of just 1 , if you dont install the crossovers?
How do these burners handle a natural gas input?
Nice channel--I like your presentation style.

Hi! Just a quick question at 4.21 you say, "the new burner has the ignition holes on the wrong end/side of the tube". Why would the company that makes the replacement burner drill holes on the wrong end of the tube? Does that mean the ignitor for your old grill is at the end of the burner tube? Maybe this placement is for safety?
Replaced all the burners. Having the same problem with the electric igniter. Burner is not lighting. I also drilled 3 holes. I'm thinking about drilling more holes. Any other ideas?
Perfect time to clean the BBQ, where’s that part 😊

Oh that was unexpected! The manufacturer shouldn’t have riveted the tubes in! The burner tubes are the main part that needs replacing every few years.
Afraid of getting your baby hands greasy?
Worst grill ever made. POS POS. Requires constant maintenance...flames flames...a pile if worthless metal
If you have the money just buy a new grill if you don’t it’ll take you about 2 hours to replace the burners

It probably depends on the model you have, it took me less than 15 min to replace all 4 in my Master Forge

2 hours? I can swap out all 4 on my charbroil in about 5 minutes. The complete kit with burners, tents and crossover tubes are like 28 bucks. Buying a new grill is pointless when it's minimal maintenance and minimal cost unless you want to upgrade anyway.
