Did you know that spiders are attracted to propane? Well, the high-school dropout, heavily tattooed, gas huffing spiders are attracted to propane. But still, there's enough of those guys around to cause you problems if they make nests in your barbecue's venturi tubs. At least once a year you should disconnect your barbecue's gas supply, remove the burners and clean out the venturi tubes. We sell narrow, flexible brushes to make this job easier. Alternatively, if you have an air compressor available, you can easily blow any debris out of your burners.

Steve in Burlington is doing some spring cleaning of his own. He's in our Burlington store organizing racks and racks of parts for old barbecues. Give any of our stores a call if you're looking for a hard to find barbecue part.
