# Wolf outdoor grills

### The only appliance here that lives outdoors

Everything else on this site is trimmed into joinery in an air-conditioned room. The grill is in the weather every day of the year, a few miles from salt water, and that single difference explains most of what we replace on one: igniter electrodes, ground straps, fasteners, grates and burner tubes. It is honest work with visible parts, and it is rarely expensive.

### What actually goes wrong

- **Ignition.** Electrode, wire or ground, and corrosion is the usual reason. The commonest call on a grill.
- **Gas delivery.** A regulator in its safety mode, a valve, or an orifice partly blocked. Often free to fix and worth checking first.
- **Burner ports.** Grease and carbon block them along the length, and the grill heats unevenly rather than not at all.
- **The rotisserie.** The motor and its mount, which are outdoors on a bracket and age accordingly.
- **Grates and hardware.** Not a repair so much as a replacement, and it is what makes an eight-year-old grill look and cook like a new one.
- **The hood thermometer.** Cheap, replaceable, and the reason a grill that cooks fine seems not to.

### Built in, or on a cart

A built-in drops into a masonry island with a liner around it, and reaching the gas train means working from the front through the access. A cart model rolls out and is a far shorter visit. Say which you have when you call, and say whether it runs on natural gas or on a tank — the conversion parts are different and it changes what is brought.

### What to have ready

The model — OG30, OG36, OG42 or OG54 — whether it is built in or on a cart, and whether it is natural gas or propane. The plate is on the underside of the control panel or inside the cart door.

A burner that clicks and never lights

Heat on one half of the grill and not the other

Ignition, grates and hardware gone to corrosion
