You have listed the incorrect grill burners cross ts heat shields and regulator.. i ordered them and they do not fit this grill...

[@troycummings5083]

Thanks for taking the time to film and share this video.

[@Keyumiz]

i love how resourceful you were instead of just buying the parts

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

I just completed rebuilding my Char-Broil 4 burner commercial gas grill. I purchased it over 7 years ago and my burners, cross over pipes and flame tamers were rusting out. I called Char-Broil and they found where I registered it, over 7 years ago, and they sent me 4 gas burners free!. I ordered the other parts and installation was easy. My grill is working great. Char-Broil was very nice and professional. I cover my grill after every use, but it does sit outside all year Char-Broil was really great. Thanks, JohnG.

[@doublewide6]

Nice to hea Char broil hooked you up John.

[@fieldaj2011]

Nice. I love seeing people fix things instead of just junk them. I"ve got a grill my neighbor gave me. A little work and it does great. I drilled the orifices and hooked up a natural gas line and just feed it from my house.

[@doublewide6]

I like the feed from the house nice set up!

[@Semparo]

Why buy when you can DIY!

[@itiswritten8054]

Though I am visually impaired I at least try to fix things before buying new ones. Videos like this usually help. Thank you so much

[@johnsmith-sw7ii]

Good job! Last year redid my 40 year old Charmglow grill. Solid cast aluminum. Biggest problem was finding a new control valve that would fit into the post that its mounted on. Found a guy in Pittsburg that had one. Looks great...works great! I love that you like to rebuild things and keep the old stuff working....rare in this "throw away" society we now live in. Keep up the good work and give the little guy a hug for all of us.

[@doublewide6]

Thanks so much. I enjoy restoring things and it many cases it saves me tons of money from buying new. The new stuff doesn't last anyhow.

[@ShatteredHawk]

2 years ago bought a 5 burner for 25. Came with a tank. Spent maybe 5 hours jamming to music cleaning and replacing burners and regulator hose. Degreasing ect. Works perfectly and looks brand new. Gonna use it heavily this coming 4th weekend

[@Mrimpact2011]

Wow beautiful. I adopted a Kenmore grill and rehabbed it for my nephew. Happy grilling ...........

[@BrianHSC]

I disassembled everything... fairly easy. Used electrolysis on small parts and muriatic acid on big panels. Muriatic acid will leave stains on stainless btw. Either make sure to not get them on stainless steel or sand it off. Now it's like brand new. These grills are fairly simple and straightforward. Don't be afraid to take it apart to clean and paint. I used 2000' Rustoleum spray paints.

[@jelynhaygood6103]

man u saved my life .I didnt know why. I had a low flame this whole time . thanks again life saver 🙌 🙏

[@kataysmith9581]

I have seen other videos from this gentleman. Very impressed.

[@DX91001]

Nice job. I love how you not only fixed the grill but you fixed the parts for the grill. My burners fell apart just touching them, lol. So I had no choice but to but the replacement kit for 45.00. It came with 5 burners, 5 heat caps and 4 crossover tubes. Not too bad considering I spent 550.00 for it 6 years ago. Thanks for sharing!!

[@elbob17]

Just replaced a Charbroil with a new one today. Funny to see this show up. The heat tents and two of the four cross over tubes rusted out on mine. I can't weld so I had to shitcan the whole thing. Cool video. Fun to watch.

[@MrFair-cj7ty]

With all due respect to our preserving friend here,,,, my discontinued but upscale 9' foot three piece Jenn Air BBQ that I had saved a book on, I got lucky to learn that it had life time warranty on burners, the tamers, and the top grill,,, and they honored it, less shipping... and i'm now makin it pretty !!

[@tdtommy196]

I literally just garbage picked this exact grill yesterday! Gonna start to restore it tonight.

[@digitalfilmjat6534]

If you are going to do this much work just, you might as well replace the burners. You can get a kit from $17.99 to $25, or $22 to $40 if you want shields and started rails included.

[@danielmoreno2617]

Great video. I was about to toss my grill for a $500 new one. After seeing your video found out all I needed was to cleN my igniter and a $38 dollar replacement. Thank you

[@alexandervanwyk7669]

THANK you. Also got a totally rusted redundant braai and now considers refurbishment.

[@raynutty82]

Great video! I found the same one in the garbage. I hooked up a tank to it and the burners worked perfect! Even the electric ignite worked!!! So I took the time and restored it just like you did and you should see it! It is beautiful! Beats the hell out of the grill I had. But I am gonna convert my old one into a charcoal grill because my grandma gave it to me. Once again great video man!!!!!

[@kernelpan1c192]

"I called my wife at home to measure up this thing.... and... they're a half inch short. So now I'm fixing that." hahaha. My wife once told a removal company that our driveway was 500 metres long. It was actually 20.

[@Jeph629]

Well, if you stopped telling her this (hold fingers slightly apart) was 8 inches, maybe she wouldn't have that problem!!!!!

[@e-man2081]

Nice. Much smarter than spending a few hundred dollars for a new grill. Thanks.

[@doublewide6]

Thanks that is true the grill is still working fine it is a year later now.

[@donh1647]

I have rusted front and back firebox panels on an old outdoor gourmet grill, I think from Sam's years ago. The other grill parts I can buy online but no one sells those two Firebox panels. I'm wondering if they can be repaired can they be repaired. Thanks for the video.

[@BigggA608]

Thank you very much I'm trying to refurbish the exact same grill . excellent video.

[@davidcarlile3349]

A little tip on your grill grates. Use the clean cycle on your oven to get them back to good again. Wash them, then season them back up. Looks new again

[@geyser3445]

How can I patch my burners without a torch? I have some small rust holes.

[@Pyridox]

The grill repair came out great. I had to replace the tents (Weber calls them Flavorizor Bars) in my grill last year. I don't have access to a brake, so I bought them from 3rd party vendor on Amazon. I was looking at a smaller 18" & 30" metal brake at Harbor Freight, the prices were cheap enough and the amount of times I would use it should last a while.

[@doublewide6]

Having a small brake is handy. I'm not sure what the cost off-hand, but if you can use it a few times a year and it is not crowding out your workspace it is worth it for sure.

[@savannahtraderful]

Another problem area on these grills is the Grease Drip Pan will rust out. The Charbroil has a riveted in pan so it is not easily replaced. I just replaced mine by cutting out the pan and replacing it with a new stainless pan. The new pan has adjustable width to fit different width grills. There's a link for the 'tough to fix rusty bottom' in your description which doesn't have drain wholes for the grease to drip through. If you had that I guess you wouldn't need a drip pan.

[@gymover]

Thank you so much for this, I just two days ago was given one of this exact model grill from a Craigslist ad, it is in a little better shape but still needs TLC to be bette , now I know so much more about this, you are a good man my friend!!

[@doublewide6]

Thanks man take the time to subscribe to my channel much more videos on all subjects there.

[@LEFTaTIP]

Greatwork doublewide6, its a great talent to be very mechanical oriented and have great detail. After you paints sprayed over the fake stainless parts. It looked almost brand new. That's good ol American pride & workmanship.

[@hobbiehobbs]

This brand cooks the best I have ever seen. Two years after purchase the thing rusted completely apart even though it was always stored in the garage and never left out in the rain. These company CEO’s should be shot for building junk that fills up the landfills.

[@duramax78]

hobbiehobb yup they claim stainless steel, but it’s the cheapest shit stainless, check I bet a magnet sticks to their stainless steel.

[@brianmott728]

I own a Weber gas grill with 2 burners. The crossover burner is rusted out and so are the cooking grates, flavorizer bars and the drip tray holder. I have the new flavorizer bars and 2 grates which cost $30.00 each. Do you think I should replace the burners, tray under the grill and the grease tray holder? The tray below the grill is disintegrated.

[@Ali-il5ci]

Thanks! Question, how do you reinstall the pipes back in? What is holding it up, I saw the pin , does that connect to something ?

Thank you so much for this video!! How convenient that I happen to have the exact same grill in your video! Mine has the exact same rust locations also - Very informative and I appreciate the Amazon Link!! My husband wants to buy a new grill, but instead I will spend $30!!

[@doublewide6]

Nice work Jessica! Think about becoming a subscriber. Bob

[@koalasez1200]

Nice job! I like knowing how to do these things and appreciate fixing up the old instead of buying new [and not as well made]. Ex hubby could do things like this....one of the nice things about being married to a guy who works with his hands - he could do just about anything or build it.

[@lpad9651]

The correct size replacement parts are available on Amazon. Lowe's sells universal parts that don't work well. Burners, 'tent' grease deflectors all available, in stainless steel. The tent things last much longer if wiped off regularly to prevent grease buildup and burning off. Just need your model # found on the back of grill. The porcelain coated grates clean up real nice just by soaking in dish detergent standing upright in a bucket.

[@samsh0-q3a]

Currently going through this process with an old Great Outdoors propane grill nice to see what you could save, I'm trying so hard to save its H-burner because it has the branding cast into it and I can't just punch a replacement into Google since the company is long gone.

[@FirebrandVOCALS]

[@karld3155]

If you had to replace the firebox , could you just lay a piece of 304 stainless on top of rusted out old firebox panel or what would you suggest? I don’t weld

[@tomreyes4423]

Great DIY video. Inspired me to do my grill. My old 5 burner grill is getting pretty tuff to grill on with holes in the burn tubes.

[@doublewide6]

Yes, you will notice a much more even flame with the new burners in.

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

I'm tempted to make some extra triangle heat tents out of stainless to go inbetween the flame cover ones and fill them with ceramic briquettes. Should help with heat distribution and retention.

[@639Beaver]

Good job on repairing the grill.

[@doublewide6]

Thanks I'm happy you enjoyed it.

[@mattsyracuse7957]

Nice job! What type of metal (stainless, etc) would you suggest to rebuild the little shelves that hold the far end of the burners? I've had several grills where these disintegrate over time. My current grill has them spot welded to the rear of the grill, so I was thinking of drilling holes and screwing new angle brackets in. Thanks!

[@perfectsmoked1674]

With thanks! This is definitely an astonishing video.

[@TheCooGuR]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!

[@txmarine4hire]

Great video. Very informative.

[@vaeagle1]

charbroil warrants those tube burners for life , they sent me a free set. the problem with those grills is the drip covers rot fast so you have to buy new ones and the bracket they hook on the back of grill rots out, which if your not handy you grill is junk.

[@jo6520]

The tent things are called flame tamers!

[@rhinomite5203]

I know you 'repaired' all you parts but unfortunately that's not always the case. Your work might give you the stainless for free too. You can't really say this was a $50 dollar build/repair. Your video inspired me to check my 4 year old Char Broil and even at that, I had just ordered some new Grill Grates so I needed to get them installed anyways. I pulled the 'tents' and found more rust and rot so I started my list of parts. $192 and change later plus the cost of the Grill Grates, almost $400.......That's why most people throw away crap like this because another $400, or less and you have a whole new grill. I fixed mine and will use it for another 5-6 years but most people just don't have the time, knowledge, or energy to put into it. Definitely a 'throw away' world, pretty soon grills will be like microwaves and TV's, and you won't be able to understand the internals and be just that, throw away......

[@kengoh2649]

great work. BTW , its not 'fake stainless' steel. its just different grades. 304 being one of the better then 404 etc...

[@Subgunman]

I have a Jennair gas grill and the "tents"are made of a thick stainless steel, no rust problem however my cast iron burners have rusted out so I am waiting to get some burners in but I thought about building some "boxes" that could fit on top of the cast iron bases and drilling holes in the stainless and then welding them to the iron.

[@doublewide6]

If you can do it yourself why not?

[@chakatania]

Wow! Beyond my skills but still educational. Thanks

[@chakatania]

Haha -- t-shirt bra ad, guess I'm one of the few who can relate to that ad.

[@Ashtontr]

As someone without a pressure washer/minimum tools, would brake cleaner work for rust spots? How best would I clean the grate? Just scrub the crap out of it? I can't go buy 100 dollar tools lol. How do I do this best buy hand?

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

Just buy a wire brush from an auto parts store.

[@amirhouseingholinia2023]

Great job at restoring the grill. Do you recommend using 2"x2" .125" thick extrusion steel angle instead of sheet metal? They are sold at home depot

[@doublewide6]

That may work if it is wide enough I think my steel plates were wider.

[@chippong497]

[@Volusiaev]

Great Video. What type of metal and gauge did you use for the tents? Mine are rotted out and I know you can't use galvanized steel because of fumes.

[@doublewide6]

The metal is 18 gauge steel. Your right not galvanized.

[@vinceleto]

doublewide6 Repairs LLC where can you buy non galvanized sheet metal?

[@TimBee100]

Crossover tubes don't distribute gas, that is what the controls at the front are for. They allow the flame to go from the burner with the electric sparker to the other burners.

Great job man , for those who don’t have your ability of sanding and welding and fabricating perhaps purchasing the tubes and flame plate from amazon could save them the cost of buying a new grill. I just replaced mine and all 5 of the flame tubes and plates were less than $30 on Amazon. Just be sure to get the right model parts. P.s. never order or cut something based on wife’s measurements. LOL . Just kidding

This is great, if you have the skills and equipment to DIY through the whole thing! Otherwise, it would be cheaper to buy replacement parts!
