I’m working on converting my NG Genesis to LP and I have all of the cookbox orifices done but I’m not sure how to swap out the side burner orifice. Its under the silver burner assembly but I’m not sure how to pop that off.
Anyone have any experience with these old grills? I tried yanking on it and seeing if it was screwed in but no luck

I’m sure you can find the conversion kit instruction manual online…

For anyone seeing this in the future first of all hello from the past. Second I found out how to remove the orifice.
That silver cap does not come off- its attached to the hard line that feeds it.
In order to replace the orifice you need to remove the two screws on the backside of the side burner which will allow you to drop down the sheet metal guard. Once the guard is removed you can remove the screw that holds the igniter wire and the silver cap with its hard line in place. Once the screw is removed you can pull the silver cap and hard line out and it will expose the orifice. Follow the line from the gas inlet over to the side burner and there should be a brass colored Y split. One side of that Y will have the gas coming in from the source, and the other will have the orifice. You need to remove the hardline with the above instructions in order to access it.
I’ll post a photo here but it likely wont be accessible forever so good luck. [https://ibb.co/x8PhJ6Xs](https://ibb.co/x8PhJ6Xs)
