CHANGING ORIFICES 1. Open your grill and remove the grates, radiant trays, and burners from the firebox area. Open flame burners (Trellis burners in Hestan Grills, and U-Burners in Aspire Grills) are removed by lifting up the rear of the burner, and carefully twisting to clear the igniter shroud. Sear burners have a small metal cover over the igniter which must be removed first. There is also a screw at the rear firebox wall which must be removed.
