If your barbeque is getting hard to light or the flame is weak, check and clean the venturis and burners.
Spiders or small insects are known to create "flashback" problems by building nests and laying eggs in the barbeque's venturi or burner obstructing the flow of gas. The backed-up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can damage your barbeque and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance, the burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned whenever the barbeque has been idle for an extended period of time.
