Fuel (Gas) Conversion Instructions for Blaze Gas grills.
CAUTION:
This should only by performed by a licensed gas professional.
Main Burners:
1. You must remove all cooking grids and flame tamers to expose the main burners in the appliance.
2. On the bottom rear of each burner is a cotter pin. Remove cotter pin.
(unless they were removed prior to
installation into an outdoor kitchen)
3. To remove burner, pull burner upwards and slide burner toward the rear of the appliance. Repeat for
each burner.
4. Where the burner was previously located, connecting to the main valve through the hole in the basin should
now be empty space.
5. Inside the space you will find the end of the valve (toward the front of appliance), with an orifice (brass
fitting), screwed into the end of the valve stem.
6. Carefully remove the orifice with a 6mm socket set and extension. (These are extremely fragile! When
unscrewing, be extremely gentle, for you could easily break the brass fitting and have to replace the valve).
7. Once the old orifice is removed, replace it with the new orifice, (repeat for all burners). When re-installing
the orifice, do not over tighten or you will strip the brass fitting. Very little pressure is needed!!!
8. Inspect burners for proper flame appearance. The ideal flame appearance is one that is mostly blue and not
lifting off of the burner surface. There is an air shutter found at the end of the burner (close to the valve)
which can be either opened or closed to make adjustments to the flame's appearance. To adjust, remove
the burner from the appliance and loosen the Philips head screw holding the air shutter to the burner. If the
flame is yellow, open the air shutter to make the flame bluer. If the flame is lifting off of the burner surface,
slightly close the air shutter. Re-tighten the Philips head screw and re-install the burner to recheck the flame
appearance. Repeat if necessary.
Rear Burner
For the Blaze 4 & 5 Burner, replace the back burner orifice by removing the plate on the rear of the BBQ and
carefully removing the fitting. Replace with the provided conversion back burner orifice – large brass fitting (differs
from small main burner orifice).
