a boss mounted to said burner tube and received within the slot of said shutter so as to guide movement of said shutter along the axial and circumferential directions,

wherein said shutter is movable on said burner tube along the axial direction via the axially extending portion of the slot of said shutter between a working position and an orifice changing position, the orifice of said gas line bracket received within the opening of said shutter such that said shutter extends between said burner tube and the orifice of said gas line bracket in the working position, said shutter and said burner tube spaced apart from and not contacting the orifice of said gas line bracket such that the orifice of said gas line bracket is accessible and removable in the orifice changing position,

wherein the circumferentially extending portion of the slot extends between a first side portion and a second side portion along the circumferential direction, said boss movable within the circumferentially extending portion of the slot between the first side portion of the circumferentially extending portion and the second side portion of the circumferentially extending portion, said shutter adjusting an outlet size of the window of said burner tube when said boss moves within the circumferentially extending portion of the slot between the first side portion of the circumferentially extending portion and the second side portion of the circumferentially extending portion.

2. The gas burner assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first end portion of said burner tube and the orifice of said gas line bracket are spaced apart from each other along the axial direction.

3. The gas burner assembly of claim 1 , wherein said burner tube and the orifice of said gas line bracket are coaxially aligned in the axial direction.

4. The gas burner assembly of claim 1 , wherein said gas line bracket comprises a threaded post, the orifice of said gas line bracket screwed onto the threaded post of said gas line bracket.

5. The gas burner assembly of claim 1 , wherein said burner tube comprises a Venturi throat positioned at the first end portion of said burner tube.

6. The gas burner assembly of claim 5 , wherein the Venturi throat of said burner tube comprises a wing that extends along the axial direction, said shutter defining an aperture for selective receipt of the wing when said shutter slides along the axial direction on said burner tube.

7. The gas burner assembly of claim 1 , wherein said boss comprises a fastener for fixing said shutter relative to said burner tube.

8. A gas burner assembly for an appliance, the gas burner assembly defining a radial direction, a circumferential direction, and an axial direction, the gas burner assembly, comprising:

a gas line bracket having an orifice;

a burner tube extending between a first end portion and a second end portion along the axial direction, said burner tube defining an inlet at the first end portion of said burner tube, the inlet of said burner tube is spaced apart from the orifice of said gas line bracket at the first end portion of said burner tube, said bunter tube also defining a window at the first end portion of said burner tube;

a cover slidably mounted to said burner tube at the first end portion of said burner tube, said cover defining an opening for receipt the orifice of said gas line bracket, said cover also defining a slot having an axially extending portion; and

a boss mounted to said burner tube and received within the slot said cover so as to guide movement of said cover along the axial direction,

wherein said cover is slidable on said burner tube along the axial direction via the axially extending portion of the slot of said cover between a working position and an orifice changing position, the orifice of said gas line bracket received within the opening of said cover such that said cover extends between the orifice of the gas line bracket and the inlet of the burner tube in the working position, said cover and said burner tube spaced apart from and not contacting the orifice of said gas line bracket such that the orifice of said gas line bracket is accessible and removable in the orifice changing position,

wherein the slot of said cover defines a circumferentially extending portion that extends between a first side portion and a second side portion along the circumferential direction, said boss movable within the circumferentially extending portion of the slot between the first side portion of the circumferentially extending portion and the second side portion of the circumferentially extending portion, said cover adjusting an outlet size of the window of said burner tube when said boss moves within the circumferentially extending portion of the slot between the first side portion of the circumferentially extending portion and the second side portion of the circumferentially extending portion.

9. The gas burner assembly of claim 8 , wherein the first end portion of said burner tube and the orifice of said gas line bracket are spaced apart from each other along the axial direction.

10. The gas burner assembly of claim 8 , wherein said burner tube and the orifice of said gas line bracket are coaxially aligned in the axial direction.

11. The gas burner assembly of claim 8 , wherein said gas line bracket comprises a threaded post, the orifice of said gas line bracket screwed onto the threaded post of said gas line bracket.

12. The gas burner assembly of claim 8 , wherein said burner tube comprises a Venturi throat positioned at the first end portion of said burner tube.

13. The gas burner assembly of claim 8 , wherein said boss comprises a fastener for fixing said cover relative to said burner tube.

14. The gas burner assembly of claim 8 , wherein the axially extending portion of the slot is positioned between the first side portion of the circumferentially extending portion and the second side portion of the circumferentially extending portion along the circumferential direction.
