How to clean Coleman Roadtrip grill burners

We have a Coleman Roadtrip LX grill and use it both on the road and at home. Good results, but the burners have gotten clogged and don't put out full propane. Any suggestions on cleaning them?

  • I have the old model and never had a problem with the burner itself. It is only about 8 years old.

    Before a trip I line the drip pan with foil. When I get home I take out the foil and cold grease and throw it away.
  • Anyway to add a deflector/diffuser plate so that the drippings don't directly hit the burner?

    Weber user here, but what I do is wire brush it first, which can plug some holes. Then I clean the holes out with a small needle. Pressure washer would work too just fire the grill up afterwords to boil off the water that will get inside.
  • I use a wire wheel on my drill to clean my stainless burner tube on my weber. Cleans the holes right up. Not sure if it would work on a roadtrip as i've never seen what the burner tubes look like.
  • I use toothpicks/bamboo skewers/ thin gauge wire/metal skewers/baby bottle nipple brush and/or pipe cleaners to clean the..manifold(?)/nozzles of my white gas stove. Bet it would work for a clogged gas line as well. Canned air is your friend too.

    I take my stove apart to clean it annually because well winters are boring here;).
  • I finally sold mine on Craigslist and purchased a Weber. The Coleman was a huge pain in the donkey to clean after every use. The Weber is much much easier for me to keep clean.

    Every year or two that is what I also do.
