What's the best gas grill for the money?
For the best “gas grill for the money,” we recommend choosing the size and build quality that match how you cook most often; in the midrange, a 2 to 3 burner grill with solid burners, even heat, and easy-to-find replacement parts typically delivers the best long-term value. Use the 41516151110 owner's manual to confirm your fuel type and safe clearances before you buy or compare.
What “best value” means for most grill owners
A great value grill is the one that heats evenly, lights reliably, and stays serviceable for years.
- Choose 2 to 3 main burners for most families; 4+ burners help if you cook for crowds.

Is it worth fixing a gas grill?
Yes, it’s worth fixing a Kenmore gas grill like model 41516151110 when the firebox and lid are solid and the problem is limited to normal wear parts (ignition, burners, grease handling, or heat distribution). If the cookbox is badly rusted through or the frame is unstable, replacement is the better choice.
Quick way to decide (cost vs. condition)
We use this simple checklist before buying parts:
- Firebox and lid are intact (no holes, severe warping, or major structural rust)
- Burners light safely (no persistent flare-ups from damaged components)
- Parts are available for the failure you’re seeing
- Repair cost is clearly less than a comparable new grill
- You can restore safe operation by cleaning and basic part replacement
For model-specific safety and operating guidance, follow the clearances and lighting steps in the 41516151110 owner’s manual.
Repairs that are usually worth it
These are common, affordable fixes that often bring performance back:
- Ignition problems (spark issues, weak lighting)
- Uneven heat caused by clogged or worn burners
- Excess grease and flare-ups from a damaged or missing tray
- Poor heat distribution from worn heat plates
Common “worth it” parts for this model
| Symptom | Likely part to address | What it improves |
|---|---|---|
| One burner won’t light but others do | Gas grill main burner G430-3800-W2 | Restores flame on that burner |
| Grease buildup, drips, flare-ups | Char-broil gas grill grease tray G430-0033-W1 | Safer grease handling |
| Hot spots or flare-ups over burners | Char-broil gas grill flame tamer G550-0006-W1 | More even heat, fewer flare-ups |
When replacement is the smarter move
Replacement makes sense when the grill’s structure is failing, not just the parts:
- Firebox is rusted through or the base is warped
- Control panel area shows signs of flashback damage (often tied to blocked burner tubes)
- Multiple major components need replacement at once (burners plus heat plates plus ignition plus hardware)
Why it matters (safety and performance)
A grill that’s hard to light or has weak flames often needs burner-tube cleaning; the manual specifically warns that spiders and insects can block burner tubes and cause flashback. Keeping the grease tray installed and emptying it after each use also reduces flare-ups and helps the grill run more consistently.

How to light a Kenmore gas grill?
To light Kenmore gas grill model 41516151110, open the lid, turn ON the LP cylinder valve, then light the ignition burner on HI using the electronic ignition button. After the first burner lights, turn the remaining burners to HI one at a time in sequence. See the exact procedure in the 41516151110 owner's manual.
Electronic ignition lighting (main burners)
- Turn all burner control knobs OFF.
- Turn ON gas at the LP cylinder.
- Open the lid during lighting; do not lean over the grill.
- Push and turn the ignition burner knob to HI.
- Push and hold the electronic ignition button until the ignition burner lights.
- If it does not light in 5 seconds: turn knobs OFF, wait 5 minutes, then repeat.
- Light remaining burners by turning each knob to HI in sequence, starting with the burner closest to the ignition burner.
Match-lighting (if the igniter will not light)
- Open the lid; turn ON gas at the LP cylinder.
- Place a lit match at the match-light hole using the match holder.
- Push in and turn the far right or far left burner knob to HI (based on the match-light hole used).
- Once that burner stays lit, light adjacent burners in sequence.
Quick safety and performance checks
- Keep the lid open while lighting.
- If ignition fails, always wait the full 5 minutes before retrying.
- Turn burner knobs and the LP cylinder OFF when not in use.
- If burners do not carry flame, clean the carryover path; replace the char-broil gas grill carryover tube G413-0004-W2 if it is damaged.
| Issue after lighting | Most common cause | First fix |
|---|---|---|
| One burner lights, others do not | Carryover tube blocked | Clean carryover tube ports |
| Low flame on all burners | Regulator flow or low LP | Reset regulator; check LP level |
| Hot and cold spots | Dirty burners or flame tamers | Clean burner ports; clean flame tamers |
Why it matters
Lighting in the correct order (ignition burner first, then the rest) prevents unburned gas buildup and gives you a stable flame for safe preheating and cooking.
