4. RECURRENT CONCEPTS
This part of the guide lists the definitions of some less familiar
concepts. These concepts are used when discussing various
topics throughout the guide.
4.1. Venturi tubes
The venturi tubes are the small tubes attached at the inlet to
the burners. There is an opening on the side of the venturi
tubes. This is visible on the main burners and on the side
burner:
The gas passes through the venturi tubes on its way to the
burners. The gas is mixed with air (and, therefore, oxygen)
through the openings in the sides. This is essential for proper
combustion in the burners: proper combustion requires the
correct gas/oxygen mix to deliver nice flames.
4.2. Burner covers
The burner covers are covers fitted on top of the burners
on the barbecue. They protect the burners from dripping
fat and play a crucial role in use of the barbecue. The
covered openings on the sides of the covers distribute
the heat over the grill so that it heats up more quickly and
more evenly.
Pay particular attention to the burner covers when
assembling the barbecue. Heat distribution is optimal when
each cover is fitted over the correct burner.
