Gas Hibachi Grill
I have a HUGE Hibachi grill (it's basically a mattress-sized metal slab over multiple heating conduits) in my restaurant to cook burgers, cheesesteaks, grill fish, etc.
This morning, I turned it on and left it for about 30 minutes (to warm up), and when I came back, it wasn't as warm as it should be. I checked underneath to see what the issue was, and the fire was very weak. I set it at 300 degrees (which I usually set it at), but the heating element were lit in a few places, and some not. I cranked it all the way up to 500 degrees, and the "fires" were lit to about the size it would be when I used to have it at 300.
Another issue was that one of the pilots (there are 5) was not lit. Using a lighter, I lit it, and it was a VERY small light, not like the other 4.
So I used the other part of the grill, as it was working fine. Later during the day, I tried to turn on the malfunctioning side, and it worked just fine.
What seems to be the issue here? I checked the pipes, and they all seem to be fine as the other side of the grill is working just fine.
