Ducane 30400040 Stainless Steel Grill - Page 4 Questions & Answers
I have a Dukane Stainless Gas Grill (Five Burners,
It's possible you may need a new regulator, but usually this problem is due to opening the propane tank valve too fast, which can cause the built-in excess flow valve to check closed to only a trickle. Next time you use the grill, very slowly open the tank valve and see if that solves it. If not, replace the regulator. Douglas

Take care
Why is my stainless steel ducane grill rusting out
There are two basic types of stainless steel; -highly corrosion resistant/nickel-chromium steels and less corosion resitant ferritic and martensitic steels. Basicly the less nickel in the mix lowers the price to the consumer and makes great products cost effective to the consumer. You need to "pacify" the surface to mitigate the condition.
Use DeBruce Polish to remove the rust and "pacify" the surface. This is a great product is ECO-FRIENDLY just another reason we like and use professionally. You can find DeBruce Polish at debrucepolish.com.
THE RIGHT BURNER SPARKS BUT
Adjust the valve by the bottom of the burner on the lines end by turning it counter clockwise to achieve a blue flame
Propane is venting from regulator
Your propane regulator is defective and will need to be replaced. Do not use it. Contact your local propane co and bring it in for a replacement. Some retailers like K-Mart, Target or Wal-Mart will also have regulators, but if yours if not standard, it may need to be ordered by a Ducane grill reseller like Amerigas Propane, which is the largest propane co in the U.S.
Cannot turn valve knob
you should get a new control valve try a light spray of WD-40 under the knob if this does not loosen it up after a couple minutes replace the control generally not repairable.
Burners will not stay lit
It could be a number of problems. The burners you installed may not have the air adjustment set properly. Each venturi tube has a opening for air at the gas valve orifice. Change the setting and see if it helps. It's also possible, but not likely, that the tank you got wasn't purged properly if it was new. Another possibility is the excess flow valve in your gas hose is checking and only allowing a trickle of gas to come thru. Close the tank valve, wait a minute and then open the tank valve slowly and try lighting it again. Hope that helps!
Does conversion from LP gs to Natural gas on
Did the conversion kit give you an LP orifice for every new gas valve? LP gas orifices have smaller holes than Nat gas orifices. Can you smell gas when you turn on the IR burner by itself? Some burners styles have an air adjustment on the end that fits over the orifice. Make sure it's getting enough air. Also make sure your ignitor sparker is positioned where the spark can ark against the top of the burner. Ducane grills have rotary ignitors, so turn it (with gas off) and see if you can actually see where it's sparking. If it's not sparking in the right place, it will be difficult to light.
