Hey Y'all, Grill Girl Here! Today we're going to be replacing the burners
in a Brinkmann Pro Series 2400. I've already taken out the cooking grids and
the heat plates. So, when you open up your grill and remove those, this might be what
you're looking at. Now, a lot of this rust down here is actually
falling off from your heat plates, but some of it is coming off of your burners.
People ask me, when do you know when it's time to replace your burners?
Well, these burners are a rail type. They're made out of cast iron and so they are rusting.
Cast iron rusts - that's just a part of what it does.
But at the point that they're starting to flake off and you can break them apart with
your fingers like that, it's probably time to replace them.
So, you can just remove all this down here and toss it. It's not hard to do and it will
really make your grill look a lot nicer. Alright, so I went ahead and replaced this
burner right off the bat. The first thing I had to do was remove the
hitch pin which is a little pin that holds the burner into this burner bracket right
here. You want to pull that out. It can be kind
of a pain so just be prepared - maybe some pliers would help.
And once you've pulled that out, this is loose. And you can lift it up off the burner bracket.
Now, because of the way that these burners are hooked into the front of the grill, there's
two sheets of sheet metal that they have to come through.
You really just pretty much have to pull to get them out.
But remember, this is your grill - and it's not that fragile, so go ahead and use a little
bit of force. So, here's my new burner. Here's the hitch
pin again. And this is the little nub that goes in the hole right here.
So, now it's just the opposite of what I just did. You just have to put it in here. You've
got to feed it through both sets of sheet metal.
Then again, it's just a little bit of force to get it in there.
You want to take your hitch pin and put it through the little nub here at the bottom,
and now your burner is set in there. So, that's replacing the burners on your Brinkmann
Pro Series 2400 and that would apply again to any kind of grill that uses a rail cast
iron burner.
