Pilot burner is a device that provides a small flame used to ignite the main burner of a griddle or grill. It is typically made of metal and has a control valve that regulates the flow of gas to the pilot light. The pilot light burns continuously and serves as a source of ignition for the main burner when it is turned on.
To keep a grill pilot burner in good working condition, it is important to follow regular maintenance procedures, such as cleaning the pilot orifice, checking the gas flow, and testing the safety shut-off valve. Replacing a grill pilot burner is a relatively straightforward process, but it should only be performed by a qualified individual to ensure the safety of the griddle or grill.
