Replace Char-Broil burner tubes

Pull stamped Char-Broil tubes, match length and inlet, reseat on the orifices, and leak-check. Universal tubes that are short are how flashbacks start.

Replace Char-Broil heat plates

Measure tent length and width on Performance and Commercial carts. Heat plates are the drip shields — when they lace, burners die. Do not buy by lid name alone.

Char-Broil igniter replacement

Box-store Char-Broil Performance and Commercial carts: piezo versus AA collector, electrode clips on stamped burners, and why the side burner is a separate lead.
