To Remove the Gas Burners

Disconnect the hose on the older styles or the gas pipe union on the newer styles. Separate the mouthpiece burner from the crucible at the sleeve. (This operation is not necessary on the thermostat connections.) Pull out the rod which holds the burners in place and lift them out.

To remove the mouthpiece burner, take out the screw which holds the support to the jacket of the pot, slip the connecting sleeve back, and pull the burner to the left.
