Fire underneath Flavorizer Bars?

[Brent Harris]

I recently replaced the Flavorizer Bars with some cheaper stainless steel ones from amazon. Things were fine for a few cooks, but on the last grilling, it appeared that there were large consistent yellow/orange flames coming from underneath the Flavorizer Bars. The flames are not on the top side of the Flavorizer Bars. The burners make only short blue flames when I take the Flavorizer Bars off, so I’m puzzled about what’s going on.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

It could be that grease accumulated at the edges of the flavorizer bars and is not dripping off but burning off. Clean the flavorizer bars and see if that solves the problem.
