The original El Toro neighborhoods
Established homes from the 1960s and 1970s in what's now Lake Forest, many with grills that have seen years of use.
Santa Ana season and your grill
Every fall the Santa Anas blow grit under grill covers and into cabinets. Spiders also love to build inside burner tubes, one of the most common reasons a burner lights weak or not at all. The usual signs are yellow, lazy flames or one burner that won't light. A cleaning every 6 to 12 months, ideally right after Santa Ana season, keeps El Toro grills lighting clean.
Common grill problems we fix in El Toro
- Leaves in the cabinet. Wind blows debris through cabinet vents and under doors. We clean the cabinet out along with the grill.
- Yellow, lazy flames. Dust and debris restrict airflow to the burners. We clean the venturi tubes and air shutters.
- Igniters that spark but won't catch. Dust on the electrode or a misaligned tip. We clean and reposition the electrode or replace it.
Every cleaning is a full teardown: grates, heat plates and burners come out, everything is degreased and steamed, and we inspect and tune the grill before putting it back together. See everything a cleaning includes.
