I bought a Charbroil grill from Lowes a few months ago. It has 3 main burners, a
side burner, a ceramic rotisserie burner and a ceramic infrared searing burner.
The thre main burners work great as does the side burner.

However, for the life of me I can't get the two ceramic burners to work. Using
the spark lighter or a grill lighter, I can occasionally see a small wave of
blue flame moving across the burner plate, but it doesn't take. Yes - know those
types of burners aren't supposed to have a visible flame. There's no burning
going on at all - no heat.

I've checked the jets and there's definitely gas coming out of the valve.
There's no adjustible air valve as far as I can see. Any ideas as to what I can
try?

Yep - the blue flame rolls across the ceramic plate but immedately goes out.

Good Idea!
