I have two bayou classics and they both seemed to have decreased in output this year. I assume I just need to remove the piece where the gas comes out and clean it? What are some easy methods in cleaning it? Wire brush? Compressed air? Soaking it in something?

On mine, the gas comes out of a cap nut with a small hole drilled in it. You can stick a paperclip (or wire) in the hole to clean it out. It may have a little piece of rust blocking it. Or you may need to remove the nut and clean out the inside.

Take the hose off the jet burner, and take the brass nut off the end where your flame comes out.
Take a rifle/gun cleaning kit and run the brush down the pipe a few times until no more rust and debris are coming out. Clean inside your brass nut and near the pinhole.

I had to do this regularly with my bayou classic double jet.

I upgraded to stainless steel last year.

See pic of what inside looks like when I used to clean tube out.
