Spirit II Burner Tube Cleaning?

[John-NY]

Hello,

When I light the grill, only one or two of the three total burner tubes get flames (the closest to the push button are lit).

However, they can be manually lit after the fact.

Would this be an issue with the traveler tube?

Either way, can the tubes (and/or traveler) be "cleaned" in some way to resolve this?

Thanks!

mine does the same thing. I just keep a stick lighter in the cabinet .

1. Yes.
2. Yes.

While the stick lighter idea works like crazy, it would probably be better to clean each of the tiny holes in the burner and crossover tubes with a tiny poker then possibly take the grill apart and clean the insides of the tubes. If the burners are in bad shape, they are replaceable.

Yah, the crossover tube is probably gunked up. A good cleaning of the holes or even replacement would likely get it back in good working order.
