- Learn how to refurbish or rebuild or refurbish a bbq grill. In this case, it is a Members Mark grill. Same process no matter what your brand is. This should show you that a rebuild of your BBQ Grill may be better than buying a new one. This is basically a complete restoration project. We replaced the burners, the ignitors, the flame diffusers and the grates or grill area.
Find your grill parts here on Amazon amzn.to/2YxiyKG
At the end, you will see me using a product to clean the stainless steel. Here is a link to that barkeepers friend product. amzn.to/2rH5Evy
That's awesome that the protection plan came thru with the parts....no hassle....I've always had my doubts before. Looks great now!
This definitely worked out for me.
I got my grill used, it was an expensive grill and the seller sold it simply because the igniter and burners where rusted all it needed was replacing the igniter and burners and saved myself hundreds of dollars.
Doing this now for my Dyna-Glo which is 8 years old. You got a heck of a deal. Don't believe in extended warranties and this certainly proved me wrong.
Loved the video. Rebuilding a grill is fun. I am about to rebuild my little Weber Q1000.
thanks and good luck with yours. if you can get the parts I am sure it will turn out great.
We do this with all of our gas grills, if we can find the parts! Believe it or not, for some brands of grills, finding compatible parts can be difficult. It really extends the life of your grill and your investment, great video! Thanks so much for sharing, Flannel Guy! Have a wonderful and blessed day ---Stacy 😍❤
Thank you Stacy. You are right in that it can be difficult finding the parts. Sometimes that goes into my decision making process when buying a grill. The Sams club thing is really great because their extended warranty is so cheap. They HAVE TO get the parts for you. Otherwise, they have to buy you a new grill.
Flannel Guy DIY - I know, from first hand experience, because we bought a Member's Mark gas grill with extended warranty about 5 years ago. Ordered the replacement parts, they were so great on the phone, said they'd ship them right out, then we got a voice mail, email and eventually, a check for the full amount of the original grill. We were floored, and tell everyone we know about it! I was flabbergasted when my husband wanted to get a new gas grill last fall, and he didn't buy another MM from Sam's. They have my total and complete support now, but he wanted to try something different :) Great video! Have a blessed day ---Stacy 😍❤
thanks you too Stacy!
Awesome video. The before looks a lot like my grill. I might need to do the same.
Thank you Joey...
great video!!!! we are going to try contacting manufacturer and take it from there. Thanks!
Chloe Lee ok great thanks for watching
I really need to pay better attention with the warranty on products like these, because I know we need to replace a lot of parts, or just buy a new grill. 🤦🏻♀️ Great video! 🤗
Thanks Anna, yeah it can save you $$
To really save money, get the grill used to begin with for free or just a few dollars, then buy the parts and end up exactly where you are now without the huge investment!
good video.
but instead of spending $500 plus a protection plan.......You could buy a grill like yours in used condition for next to nothing. (I've gotten them FREE) Then spend $100 to fix like you did!
Nice job!!! Mine needs to be refurbished but is so old the parts are no longer available.
That's too bad. I know the burners for the grill in the video are now out of stock
There are always alternatives..Amazon
Sweet! Nice job! I always get the warranty also, well worth it!
Thank you Dominic. I also always set a calendar reminder for myself a couple of months before the warranty expires on ANYTHING that I own. It gives me a chance to take advantage of it before missing the deadline.
Flannel Guy DIY great idea!
Nice job. Not sure I need to replace the burners but may as well maybe? Thanks
if you have it all open, you may as well change the burners too
And grates for about $10, and ignitors you can get online somewhere probably for about $5. If you look around online for ANYTHING you can usually find it cheaper now.
Sure, you can find anything cheap if you want. However, when I fix or replace things, I am looking for them to last and not rust out again in just one year. If you like, guy buy cheap junk and see how that works out for you. OR.. just go find yourself a cheap used grill on craigslist for $20 and don't even fix your grill.
Seriously this is a beneficial video.
Glad you liked it... thanks for watching
I have a Members Mark grill. The lights behind the knobs do not work. Is there a fuse?
Larry.... I am not sure
Very nice. As you say like new!
yes it worked out for me....
So after 3 years you have to change the grill you can’t just clean them? And my bbq got a littl rusty and got a hole next the burner why can i dot to fixe it ? Because of it i can put my reflective shield
patrice adam sure you can clean them
The metal grates had split open. Once that happens moisture enters and the heat from the burners turns it to steam. Once that deal is broken they deteriorate very quickly whether you clean them or not
Any idea how to fix where the tubes attach? Mine rusted out . The little medal parts where the clips go
Ana, when those small metal brackets break off, there is really nothing you can do there. However, the burners should still sit in that spot even if they are not secured. As long as you are not rolling the BBQ grill around too often, they should not move
I found a kit that comes with the little brackets . Thx for replying
@@anafonseca8748 okay great news. Glad it worked out.
Can you tell me where did you get those prices from for those parts. Because i went to home depot and everything is so expensive that its better to just buy a new grill. Now im talking about a $250 grill not a $500
I went direct to the manufacturer of the grill. I do not recommend getting generic replacement parts from Home Depot. They probably will not last as long either.
Has anyone experienced poor performance after replacing these components? Is there an air adjustment t one needs to be aware of?

I never noticed a difference...
It’s as though a breeze blows the flame out (with a “sneeze” sort of sound), but there is no breeze. Flame is a perfect blue. Pressure seems ok. Flame simply sneezes and goes out. Sometimes comes right back. Sometimes does not. 🤷🏼♂️

@@billware6721 I've noticed my flame is weak if I turn the heat adjustment knobs up and then turn the propane on. I always keep the adjustment knobs on OFF then turn my propane on, then turn the adjustment knobs to HIGH for about 10 seconds(lid open) then ignite. I'm not a scientist but I think you need to purge the air from the burners first.
Mason Lundy Thanks. I’ll try that
Likeee 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thank you Stella...
You can buy heat plates for $3 for 3 of then at hellmart. Lol
sure.. you can get cheap stuff anywhere
Its a shame you didn't do it properly, and sand blast all the crap off of the inside.
sandblast the inside of a grill? That is crazy talk! Do you know how long it takes to get that good seasoning on the inside of the grill walls? Talk to anyone who has been using smokers too for a long time. You NEVER clean that off.
@@flannelguydiy6458 how does leaving it benefit?
Brad Heathcote Seasoning = FLAVOR
@@drdrew3 gross, id rather no "seasoning".
replaced the thermometer before your poured water all over the grill. That was not using your noggin.
As if it matters?? the grill is outdoors and gets rained on all of the time.
@@flannelguydiy6458 you gotta start using that noggin of yours man .
Just restored my DCS BBQ grill: th-cam.com/video/kE7PQMO1uNU/w-d-xo.html
