Char-Broil Patio Caddie 4654870 (LP) Grill Questions & Answers
Need to purchase replacement regulator/valve
If what you're looking for is the Regulator/Tank Hose Assembly, you can purchase that for any home center or hardware store that sells gas grills. They are pretty much a universal fii, but be sure to take your old one with you for comparison purposes of the hose length. A little longer is ok, but shorter is not.
If that's not what you're looking for, you can purchase replacement parts directly form Char-Broil.

Full tank of gas, I
When you disconnected the hose from tank and waited 5 minutes, did you turn the tank valve ON VERY, VERY Slowly? If not, that's the problem.
One other thing might be, since you said you're in Chicago and it's cold out. The regulator on the hose may be frozen. In which case, soak a towel in hot water, ring it out and quickly wrap it around the regulator. If it is frozen it will thaw it out. Be sure the tank valve is ON when you do this.
Happy Grilling!!
Does the patio caddie use
Your model Char-Broil LP Gas Grill use Lava Briquets on the lower grate above the burner(s). Any generic type will work. Just space them in evenly on the grate in one layer. You'll probably have some left over. So store them in an airtight container for future use (replacement).

I want to buy just
You can purchase the briquettes at any store that sells grills and accessories.
My grill won't light. I have new propane and when
First thing can you hear and smell propane running. If you can then try and start with a match. If this works your ignitor is probably dirty in the grill area. Where wire connects under grill look at the metal that this is connected to, could be dirty with grease or just needs to be bent closer to metal that it sparks off of. If this doesn't work then ignitor button is bad and needs to be replaced. You can buy at lowes or home depot.
Making food taste smokey
Hello. There is a product called liquid smoke, which I prefer. Just go easy with it unless you really like it smokey flavored. J.
Grill with a full tank of gas will not get hot
Low flame, low temperature, yellow flame: This has become the biggest problem with many grills these days and it's almost always because of the regulator (the funny UFO shaped thing on the gas hose). Regulators seem to be stickier these days and when they stick you don't get enough gas to generate a good grilling temperature. To get your regulator unstuck you need to release the pressure on it. Follow these steps exactly:
- Turn off the gas at the propane tank
- Disconnect the gas line from the tank
- Open the grill lid
- Turn all control valves to high
- Wait for about a minute
- Turn all control valves to off
- Reconnect the gas line to the tank
- SLOWLY turn on the gas at the tank
- Light the grill normally
- Your grill should now heat normally
To keep the regulator from sticking again make sure that you turn off the control valves first, then turn off the tank valve. Always open your tank valve slowly.
If this doesn't work give it a second try. If you still have low flame then you probably have a faulty regulator that will need to be replaced.
Hello I have a Char-Broil grill model# 463268706.
You not only have to have the correct thread size, you also have to have the correct orifice size. The size of the orifice varies from grill to grill which is why "universal kits" don't work on all grills. You will have to contact the manufacturer and get the correct orifice size, or get the orifices from the manufacturer. If you need help, let me know.
