Why your char-broiler is gas smell
What this looks like on the char-broiler: a rotten-egg odour near the unit that does not clear with the room ventilated — this is a leak until proven otherwise, not a service call.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01A regulator that's no longer holding pressure
- 02A gas line fitting that's worked loose
- 03A cracked burner or manifold
- 04A gas valve seal that's failed
Quick checks worth doing
Before you call it in, if it's safe to do from outside, note whether the smell is localized to the unit or spreading through the room. And if you smell gas, don't test anything yourself — shut the supply valve if it's safely reachable, open windows, and avoid switches or open flame. The measurement worth taking: watch for a visible spark or glow when it should be igniting, and note whether it is absent or just weak. If none of that changes anything, finding the actual leak point needs a combustible-gas detector and proper training, not a nose and a guess.
The visit starts with measurements, not guesses — the char-broiler gets tested before any part is named. The repair is backed by the labor and parts warranty once the cause is confirmed and put right.
What St. Augustine's climate does to a char-broiler
Every char-broiler in St. Augustine runs through months of heat and damp air, and that leaves a mark over the years. Salt reaches the igniter tip and the burner ports first, which is why coastal units lose reliable ignition before anything else fails. Which is why the St. Augustine checklist for a char-broiler includes the parts this climate reaches first.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
Are the parts genuine?
Genuine parts where the repair calls for them — and an honest answer when a component is discontinued and the only route is an equivalent.
When is a replacement the better call?
We will say so. If the failure is one that takes a unit past sensible repair — a failed sealed system on an old cabinet, say — you get that assessment rather than a part you would replace again next year.
What happens when a technician arrives?
The technician confirms the fault on the unit itself — readings taken, not assumed — then explains what failed, why, and what the repair involves before anything is replaced.
Do you guarantee your repairs?
You're covered by our 18-month labor warranty and 90-day parts warranty. If the same fault recurs in that period, the follow-up visit is free.
