    The Broil King is back!

    Last ditch before putting it out by the road with a "FREE" sign on it. I spent an hour or so disassembling it and cleaning all the gas lines and venturis, including the air screens. Success!

    Now drag it out to the curb and put a "For Sale" sign on it.

    Nice job! It always feels nice to restore something you own to a state of usability. You've inspired me, I need to do that with my Grilla- it's temporarily n/a due to me leaving pellets in it too long and now the auger is jammed. Been too cold or rainy or both for me to mess with it lately.

      I've found, as unhandy as I am, that the augur clean is actually pretty simple. Five total screws.

      Potkettleblack I'm referring to the Silverbac though, so it's a bit longer and more of a pain. Removing it can be hard if it's seized in there. I've done it a couple times already because of my own laziness not clearing the pellets. I just don't learn.

      I really need to clean my gasser as well. So much yard work this time of year i never get round to it when i want to.

    I just can't say how happy this makes me. It's like satisfying MCS for no cost whatsoever. Now all I have to do is clean the outside of it, and I have a gas grill.

      I thought I smelled gas, so I did a leak test, needed a new regulator. Regulator and hose, $20 at Lowes. No more gas smell. I replaced the rusted out grease trays with these things, three of them slide right in.

        I believe this line is out of production. Hold on to it, Great grill.

          I think it has maybe 4-5 more years before the frame rust is too far gone. Then it can go.

          I had an old Huntington, which is a Broil King brand, which was essentially a Signet, that we had to give up on a year or so ago. I bought another Signet almost right away, just before they stopped making them. I love these grills, with the cast aluminum firebox they hold temperature perfectly. I used to smoke with mine with the addition of a metal wood chip box and an A-Maz-In Tube. It would hold 225 degrees all day.

          Murdy You know what impresses me as much as anything? At 350° the dome thermometer matches my Smoke Alarm within a few degrees, close enough to use it if I had to.

          Nice job! No need to put that baby out to pasture just yet.

          Gassers can be handy to have on hand. I use mine for as an oven for batch-cooking bacon in a large tray, for searing on Grill Grates, and for using my large Steelmade Griddle insert. It earns its place, for sure.

            I'm thinking, grill space for when I want to do 20 burgers while the ribs finish on the BGE and the wings are in the Kettle.

            Bacon on the gasser is the best....plus it doesn't smoke/stink up the house.
            Just don't be a clumsy oaf like me and spill grease.

          This should work as well as anything.

              All cleaned up, inside and out. The little magnet is missing from the right door cap. The cap is actually available, $4.50 plus $5 shipping.

                My first gas grill was a Broil King and it lasted many years as replacements parts like burners were available. I recently did a spring clean on my Napoleon gas grill and it now all ready to go. If you buy a name brand grill they last longer and parts are available. While I was out walking yesterday I saw a man loading a grill into a truck so I helped him and it was a cheap grill going to the dump. I cook bacon on my gas grill as well.
