How to Disassemble a Char-Broil Grill

Whether you are thoroughly cleaning the grill or getting rid of an old grill, you must take the grill apart. Disassembling the grill allows access to all parts when cleaning, especially the burner tubes and the grill body. Disassembling a Char-Broil grill is much like disassembling any other grill. Although there are several different models, the general disassembly process is the same. Before disassembling the grill, ensure there is no gas inside the grill lines.

      Turn the gas valve knob on propane tank’s top clockwise with your hand until it stops. Open the Char-Broil grill lid and turn on one burner control knob. This lets the excess gas in the line dissipate. Turn off the control knob once you no longer hear gas leaving the burner tube.
