bbq: I have a gas BBQ and I purchased a new burner last summer. In the last few weeks the flame coming from the burner is huge. The flame comes about 3 inches above the actual grill on high and on the lowest setting it is still coming to about half an inch above the grill. What is causing this and what can I do to fix it?|||If it was working okay prior to the last few weeks it sounds like the little holes along the length of the burner are getting bigger, the metal is deteriorating. This usually happens over time especially with heavy use as the gas and flame eat away at the metal. When you clean the grill are you brushing the burner, if you are this will also contribute to your problem. You do need to clean grease off as that will eat at the metal also but if it is on the burners you need to treat them a little more gently. Do you cover the grill or is it open to the elements, rain/moisture will corrode the burner too. Unfortunately if this is the case there is no fix, the burner will have to be replaced but before you do that make sure it is installed right and all the connections are snug.
