SOURCE: Gas BBQ - Won't light

There is a shut off valve in the tank. If you connect the tank too quickly this valve will be triggered. There is a way to disconnect, wait 5 min with the burner valves open, then reconnect and open the tank valve very, very slowly. This is a real pain in th @$$ when you people waiting for food. I have found that if you invert the tank this resets the shut off valve quickly..

Good luck.

SOURCE: gas grill conversion

It's safe, but you need to keep in mind that propane burns hotter than natural gas, so you won't need to turn the burners up as high for the same heat. Here's an article that explains some of the differences (but doesn't really answer your question): http://bbq.about.com/od/gasgrills/a/aa030505a.htm

Bottom line -- it's safe if you don't leave it cranked up to high flame. Two-thirds flame on propane should give about the same heat as full burner on natural gas.

Of course, you could change the jets. That would compensate for all the differences between NG and propane, and you could run the grill on full high heat if you wanted to.

SOURCE: I have a 5 burner propane grill & a full tank

You can buy a jet cleaner. You need to remove the jet. it screws into the jet cleaner and attach it to your cylinder. Open the cylinder and it blows out the jet backwards. Works a treat. I had one years ago and never had a problem.

SOURCE: BBQ galore Turbo 3-burner grill

Glad to hear you tried the things that have been recommended. However, if you DID NOT open the tank valve VERY, VERY, SLOWLY (Slow motion, slow), there's the problem. Try it all over again, and this time open the tank valve, as I just described. Also, allow 5 minutes before reconnecting it to the tank.

If this doesn't solve the problem, you will need to purchase a new Regulator/Hose Assembly, as yours appears to be permanently locked up. They run about $30.00 at any home center or hardware store that sells gas grills and accessories. Take you old one with you for comparison purposes. After you install the new one, remember to always turn the gas valve ON very, very, slowly.

Hope this helped you and Happy Grilling.

Grill won't start

if your sure the propane tank is full, and the valve is open, (counter clockwise, and the control knob is on? you should not only smell it after 20 seconds, but if you put your ear near the grill you should hear a sound like air leaking.If you hear nothing and smell nothing, good chance there is a blockage in the line, or the burner holes are filled with drippings. First off, get a wire brush and scrub the burners where you see the small holes that the flame normally comes out of, then try the grill again, if still nothing (and your 100% sure the tank is full, the tank is on, and the control knob is on high) you may need to start taking apart the grill, looking for a blockage, many times its below the control knob where you will see an adjustable screen, spider webs and such will get in there and block the flow. Remember to not do any of that with the tank on the grill, remove the tank first.;

Gas Not Flowing

Try this. Turn tank off, open all three burners for a minute or 2. Close burners. Open tank very slowly. Open primary burner, (usually the front burner) and try to relight. Should work, but if not check that valve is secured to tank and check for leaks with soapy water.

Just hooked up new propane tank and grill won't ignite either with starter or matches

Turn gas tank off and disconnect from grill. Check burners to ensure there is no blockage and reconnect tank.Open gas tank slowly, some grills have a sensor to detect leaks and automatically shut off gas. Opening the tank fast can cause this safty device to falsely read the sudden gas flow as a leak. If you still can't light the grill check all fittings for a leak using soapy water.

New Tank won't light Weber Grill

Try checking the regulator, this is the round metal piece connected to the gas line. If this is not level flat the valve inside will not let propane flow through.

Flame is low when turned on highest setting

There are a few causes for that.

1. You are low on propane.
2. Your propane tank is overfilled, and the overfill protection device is restricting gas flow.
3. You have turned off your grill using the propane tank instead of the control valves on the grill. This may also cause the overfill protection device to engage. You can reset this by turning off your control valves on the grill, turn off the propane tank, unscrew the hose from the propane tank, then put the hose back on securely, turn on the propane tank and turn on the control valves.
4. Your burners are very rusty and may be clogged. Clean or replace the burners.

My weber gas grill will not heat up past 300F

Hi John,

I just experienced the same exact problem ! I just bought a brand new Weber E-310 a 3 burner grill.
After I seasoned it up with cooking oil,I turned all the burners to high, opened the tank and clicked electrnic button several times , the grill was on then I went inside, I came out about an half-hour later and it was saying around 275 degrees..
I looked into my manual and there is a gas limit control valve that shuts down gas flow, when it thinks there is too much gas flow.

Sloution;
Turn the propane gas knob to off
Turn the gas grill knobs to Off.
Click the igniter several times to clear out any gas.
Then unscrew the regulator from the tank,( I then blew into the tank hole and regulator),
Screw back on the regulator to the propane tank.
I then clicked igniter again couple of times.
Now open your propane tank.
Then turn on front burner while clicking igniter, this will lite 1st burner.
Then turn 2nd burner on low then to high.
And if you have 3rd burner or more, turn low then to high!

John I did this and my grill went to 600 plus in a few minutes!!

The problem was turning the gas grill knobs on first then opening the tank then lighting...
You have to open propane tank with knobs off, THEN AS SOON AS YOU TURN ON 1ST KNOB, YOU MUST IGNITE ...
