Propane and Natural Gas Grill Orifices
Gas grill orifices are critical components in commercial kitchens, designed to control the flow of fuel for safe and efficient cooking. A properly functioning gas grill orifice ensures even heat distribution, consistent flame, and reliable performance in restaurants, catering services, and other food service operations.
Over time, orifices for propane grills, orifices for natural gas grills, fire plates, spud orifices, and blower wheels can wear or become clogged.
