Let's Look At The Burner Tubes

Burner maintenance is the key! Burners are where the flames of the grill come out. What were discussed above, both the flavorizer bars and cook box were mentioned as well as how to clean them. But the burner tubes were left out. Despite being well protected, not maintaining the burner tubes will eventually result in surface corrosion. You wouldn’t want to use clogged burner portholes, do you? The clogged portholes will result in uneven heat. Brush cleaners come in handy which is why you must have a set of two.
