LomitaGrill Cleaning & BBQ Repair

The typical Lomita backyard has a cart grill on the patio, maybe a smoker or a griddle next to it, and a lot of weekend cooking. Built-ins exist, but they're more often a simple block island someone added years ago than a full outdoor kitchen. These grills don't need pampering. They need someone to pull out the burners, clear the grease, fix the igniter, and get them heating evenly again.

That's most of what we do here. A good cleaning and a couple of parts usually turns a grill that's been limping along back into one you can count on. When it isn't worth it, we'll say so rather than sell you a repair that doesn't make sense.

This is one of the most common calls we get from Lomita. Usually the grill lights, but the flame stays low no matter how far the knobs are turned. Most of the time the regulator's safety device has tripped, which happens if a valve was open when the tank was turned on. Sometimes it's a failing regulator or a kinked hose. Before you call, try this: turn off all the knobs and the tank, disconnect the regulator, wait a minute, reconnect, open the tank slowly, then light one burner. If that doesn't fix it, see low flame and weak heat or give us a call. If you smell gas at any point, stop and read what to do about a gas smell.
