Clean blocked venturi tubes by removing the burners and tubes from the grill. Push a venturi brush into each tube until it hits the end. Use a hose with a nozzle to flush water through the venturi tubes to determine if any burner ports are blocked. If they are blocked, gently clean them by inserting a pipe cleaner or tooth pick into them.
