Weber Gas Grill Maintenance - Burner Tube Set & Cross Ignition Replacement

I was having a problem getting my middle burner to ignite off of the front one. Basic cleaning didn't work, so I decided to replace the burner tube set.

You obviously know your stuff and helped me a great deal. Only problem was your blocking the camera!

[@mikedoyle2820]

Very Helpful! Just replaced my 15 year old original rusted out burner tubes on my 2008 Genesis 320 after watching this. Only issue for me was that one of the bolts holding the manifold bracket was completely rusted and I couldn't get a socket or vice grips on it so I had to drill it out. I replaced with a 2 1/2 inch stainless hex bolt and nut. New burners work great!!

[@TheTechnoMack]

@@mikedoyle2820 Awesome job. Happy to help!

[@robberthiaume5106]

This just helped me give new life to a 20+ year old grill that I purchased on the cheap for a campsite. Thanks for the video!

[@stanjay1000]

I once was lost but now I am saved .... by YOU! Saved me $150 and proved my wife wrong. I CAN DO IT!

[@xla4life]

Here in 2021 and this video is still helping many people! Timeless!

[@TheTechnoMack]

Thank you. Happy to help!

[@bl9531]

Thx for the video. I just had a fire in one of the knobs. Apparently this can occur when the tubes become blocked. This is exactly the video I needed today. The camera doesn’t show how your removed the screws from the front plate but I see there is a gap in the plastic handle that allows easy access to the screws. Just finished the replacement- easy peasey - very well explained

[@ryanravencaller]

With your video we were able to fix up our old genesis s-320 to move it from our house to our camper / campsite out of state and give it a new life for us out here, Unfortunately the two bolts holding the big bracket on were so rusted and practically welded to the grill i had to remove the three smaller bolts you advised against- but with alertness, an extra set of hands and extra care we got it all changed out new ignitor, burner tubes and it burns like new, i love these grills my grandma also had one! i wish theyd bring back production of the s-320!!

[@dorothyevelegh7505]

Fixed my 22 year old BBQ with your help. My front burner wasn't igniting. In fact I had to clean the end bit where the gas comes out before going into the burner bar as that was clogged (the bit that the spider catchers protect).A wire brush did the job. Took the time to clean the burner bars as well and banged out the carbon deposits. Great result. Thank you

[@robari2410]

Quoting someone else below: "Thank you so much for this video. It gave me the confidence I needed to fix my grill. Your directions made it seem so easy and it was easy!!!"

[@jchan71]

You saved me! Looked at the directions and scratched my head. Your video was super easy to follow and helped me get my old Webber back up and running. Thank you very much! Appreciated...

[@donz6901]

Thank you for the great instructions. I am about to tackle my Weber Genesis silver B grill burners and igniter very soon. Ordered the parts from Amazon which should be here tomorrow. As long as I am replacing the burners and igniter, I thought I would go all out and replace gas hose and flavoriser bars. Thanks again. Update: The day after I posted this thank you, I received all my Weber Genesis Silver B parts that included the burners and it went real smooth with zero problems. Before and after watching this video I saw hit and miss guys struggling with the burners and took them out the wrong side, plus unscrewing the two guide screws and one guy even cutting the two screws off! Another guy unscrewing the spider guards from the manifold. So glad I followed this man on removing the burners. After I got the new burners in, I replaced the igniter, gas hose and flavorizer bars and my 18 year old grill is like new again. 👌

[@glock-hm3ro]

just did mine...works like its brand new again. This was a very well done and instructive video sir. thanks again.

[@TheTechnoMack]

Glad it helped

[@gracegraham9264]

Thank you, greatly, kind sir! My husband and I completed this task in record time!

[@johnschulte5584]

I am probably the least handy person on the planet and with the help of your video I just replaced the burner tubes on my Weber in under 15 minutes (two burner model - burner 7507, it's that much easier still). The instructions that came with were incomprehensible. Thank you so much for this!

[@DavidJB99]

It worked! My wife and I just did the replacement with a slightly different model of Weber grill, but it all lined up with what was described in the video. Thanks & nice job.

[@dennisl3648]

Great video, Thank you. I will be replacing mine this week.

[@davesteffen7456]

Looked at the video prior to opening the parts...great video, start to finish, less than a half hour! Thanks!

[@atk8959]

I have a two burner Spirit. Basically the same grill. could not have done this job without this video. Thank you.

[@chicagobluesman1]

Thanks so much! I replaced the burner tubes yesterday--don't think I could've figured it out without your help. Thanks!

[@lancemary]

this was so helpful! I purchased the replacement parts online. I thought I could just unscrew from the inside and got stuck big time. your step by step instructions saved the day. thanks

[@nancymisasi7522]

I'm with Jonathan Chan.. the directions were crazy and I could not do what they said to do.. But watching your video showed me how to do this and it worked...Thank you!

[@susanbaldino1115]

The best help ever!! Just did ours! Thank you for this video it saved us from buying a new grill!

[@craigknauer6535]

Thanks for the video! After watching this it only took me 10 minutes (start to finish) to remove the old tubes and install the new ones. My grill works like new now.

[@deborahpapallo5576]

Thank you so much for this video. It gave me the confidence I needed to fix my grill. Your directions made it seem so easy and it was easy!!!

[@donnafisher6882]

Went to Home Depot, picked up the burners and within 15 minutes time, I had the new burners installed. Thank you for the video. Much appreciated !

[@debbieashley6201]

BIG HELP replacing my burners for the first time in 7 years!

[@susanmcq923]

Thanks so much! I knew my husband would not be thrilled about doing this job with a greasy grill so I followed your instructions and all worked beautifully. I also installed a new igniter since I had one. Good instructions!

[@chefblair63]

He’s a lucky man!

[@marvhorowitz9648]

Hey, Thanks for a great video. You made this job so much easier.

[@rolandjohnsonii3418]

Awesome video and very helpful. Your video helped me get my grill up and working.. Will last me another 10 yrs. Thank you for the help!!

[@artprince9163]

Just replaced the cross burner piece and your video helped because it has been a week since I took this bad boy apart. Should have taken pictures but didn't so this video helped refresh my memory. Thanks again for your effort on the video.

[@rachavya]

Thanks to your video, I was able remove my burner tubes with ease. First I cleaned them of surface grease with paint thinner. Then I cleaned the holes that had clogged over time in the center tube (and only that tube). For grins, I polished all 3 tubes with my Kalamazoo 1 x 42 belt sander. Upon reassembling my grill the flame pattern was perfect, good as new. I can't imagine the circumstances that would cause me to buy a new set of tubes. And mind you, my grill is by no means young. I guess that which is made of stainless steel can be expected to have a very long life.

[@stevenmidd4489]

Raphael Frommer well you really got one over on everyone who replaced theirs I guess you deserve a pat on the back an a atta boy !

[@mhollislpn1]

I want to thank you for this excellent instruction video even giving the replacement part numbers. I am 66 year old retired female caring for my disable husband. We use our grill here in Florida year around. I was able to complete the replacement in about 45 minutes with your video . Thank you so much for the help...

[@TheTechnoMack]

+mariann hollis Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm glad I was able to help!

[@billf.7991]

Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge on this grill. Mine is identical and I will be installing the new burners today. BTW I found a "grill mat" that is designed to grill fish or any item that may fall through the grates. Found it in the supermarket for about $8 and it works great. It's made out of a heat proof material, rolls up for storage and really cooks well.

[@John-cg7px]

Great video very helpful thank you for posting this. I had a gas leak at the manifold, after watching this video I knew how to take the grill including the cover under the knobs apart. In checking the burner tubes I found the crossover to be corroded and in two pieces. I called Weber bought the new manifold that comes with the hose and new regulator. I mentioned the crossover and they provided me with a new set of burner tubes at no cost under warranty. If I had not called Weber I never would have known.

[@cFredRuss]

Great video, once I started watching I realized that we had the exact same grill and this video made it super easy!! Saved me a ton of money!!

[@ToneObsessed]

Thanks! Always great to find an example of the work being done on the same grill that you have!

[@nancymouradian1070]

Thank you so much for this video. I am far from mechanically inclined so I was nervous about doing this. I followed your instructions to the tee and my grill works like new

[@YourEvilTwinBrother]

Thanks for taking the time to post - i was having problem figuring out how those guide screws were going to come out - your video shed the light on that - pulled the manifold and it all went smooth from there. thanks ps - trust him - those guide screws are just guides- and there is NO reason to mess with them.

[@markballow1603]

Thank you TechnoMack. Easy to follow instructions. Successfully removed burners in 15 min.

I just replace my burners today. It was as easy as you describe. My grill functions as if it were brand new!

[@denniswilson5384]

[@brianskeffington1845]

Thanks for a good video. Now I can replace my burners easily!

[@tholt4]

Excellent instructional video. Just got through replacing burners, and your steps are perfect. My burner tubes had different numbers stamped on them that what yours had. Thanks!

[@JimLucke]

Great video, I was going down the path of doing the same thing, but did not think to take the top off by the burners. Makes it a lot easer. Thanks.

[@RobertSchechter]

Thanks for this. I just succeeded in replacing my burners thanks to your guidance.

[@MOCKMAPLE]

Thanks so much for posting this video. I have a Weber natural gas grill and all the burners were basically shot. After watching this video I was able to do the job myself. Saved a bunch of cash. Thank you again !

Thanks for the video Mack, had someone give me an old Silver, saved me a hassle with a few rusted out bolts. I believe the one I have is probably 25 years old. Grills like a champ now. Appreciate you time.

[@GSUTPS]

Thanks a million for this video. What looked like a difficult task sure was easy after watching your video. Wish I would have known about popping off the cover under the knobs when I replaced the igniter 5 years ago. I really appreciate and thank you very much!

[@unclematt3]

Thank you! Followed your steps and everything went wonderfully. Appreciate you making the video.

[@nicole8016]

Thank you so much! That was much easier than the Weber instructions that said to take everything apart.

[@cra6235]

Thanks for this video, I had no idea how to fix my grill. You made my life easier and my grill last longer

[@jasonmclaughlin4401]

Thank you for this. I watched this before installing my own and this really simplified things.

[@TA-yg4vo]

Thanks for your efforts. My Genesis is a bit newer, the panel is secured by one phillips screw on the rear side. My #1 tube has/had a tab that holds the igniter which my replacement did't have (solved with a SS hose clamp). FYI - I, like you, had my grates with the narrow side up and that is upside down! Discovered while about to order new ones. Don't need to now, the right sides are still like new, after laborious cleaning.

[@Daniel-gb5np]

Great video and replacement video instruction. So just to pass on I called Webber to find out how much the parts are and she told me the burner tubes and the crossover bar have a 10 yr warranty. My grill is 8 yrs old so I am getting replacement parts for free. Love Webber!

[@earlchristian2166]

You forgot to add in tools the drill and cold chisel to remove the two screws holding the tubes on the left side. Thank you for your help though. Rust never sleeps.

[@glennwarciski4053]

Thank you. I followed your lead. I successfully installed the burners. Again. Thank you so much for providing quality content. I subscribed to your channel.

[@lawrencemurphy8887]

Thanks so much for posting that video. Nicely done, saved me a lot of time and aggravation.

[@jasongrange4376]

That was very helpful. I have a Gold but it’s similar enough that you saved me from making it harder than it is. Thank you for the video!

[@granitewheelwright]

Thank you so much! This is very helpful and very accurate. On twist relevant to my Weber Genesis EP-320, I could not get the two screws on the right out - even after using lots of penetrating oil. Fortunately, if you are careful you can feed the burners right through and it was much quicker.

[@eriesniper]

I tried changing out my burners last year and eventually gave up. My mistake was trying to remove the screws that are just guides for the burners to rest on. Will give it a try this week after watching your video, seems simple enough to do, now.

[@jakedog52]

Great demo! I have a Silver Genesis and the new tubes slid right into the knobs jets without even removing the bolts and sliding them back. I guess the two burner tubes on the Genesis can get more of an angle to slide in then the three burner set. Many thanks for the help!!!

Dear TechoMack, thank you. I followed your instructions and it was an easy fix. Thank you again. Jerry O'Connor

[@robertschworm6036]

IF you want to replace the spark ignighter, it is about 10 bucks and clips right into place. The little flipper button on the gas control furface simply sits over the button on the ignighter assembly and acts as a place for your finger to press down and fire off the ignighter. Bob S

[@aadfasdfasdfasdfasdf]

Great Video, saved my all sorts of time. Thank you!

[@leeleerob14]

Thanks for your very helpful video. I do wish I'd watched before I dis-sassembled to try to assess the condition of my middle burner, as I took the manifold apart. But sometimes I just go by instinct and take stuff apart. Oops. Why you are so right about the manifold -- it makes the whole thing unnecessarily hard and more dangerous. On my first go, the manifold attachment was poor (and the igniter frame was rusted out at the top). When I turned the grill on, flame burned the rubber gasket on the first manifold stem. Had to put out a small fire! Luckily, it was easy to reassemble the manifold properly off the grill and I treated all three stems to new neoprene washers. Which is a subtle way of reminding folks to use soapy water to check the connections for leaks before igniting!!!! Happily, I had none when I replaced the burners. I also suggest assessing need to replace the igniter at the same time. It is easier to do with the burners out and that part is cheap enough to not wait for it to fail or rust out completely. Your video made my replacement job a snap once I purchased parts. I wish I'd done this job two years ago. When I tested the new burners, the grill got to 500 in a minute or two, startlingly fast compared to the last several years. Glad I decided to repair instead of replace now.

[@BrooklynDave718]

Great video. Very informative and well done. Going to give it a try.

[@jamesargue4794]

TechnoMack, thanks bunches! Your video was most helpful, helped to avoid misteps. Only problem I had was having one of the Phillips screws strip out. They are the scourge of do-it-your-selfers.

[@Adam1nToronto]

+James Argue Those Philips-head screws screw into small plastic blocks. If you stripped it, you were doing something wrong.

[@aneimn]

just finished replacing my burners, The video is good BUT a couple of recommendations. Spray Liquid Wrench or penetrating oil on all the screws you need to take out as well as the far ends of the burner tubes and let soak overnite. If the tubes do not pull out readily as one of mine did, take a bladed screwdriver and pry between the end of the tube and the wall of the grill. If the manifold bracket is held on by thumb screws like mine instead of the ones shown in the video you will need a very small crescent wrench to get at them to loosen them.
