Hi,



I have a vermont grill, even when the flame is on high the flame does not get hot, it feels like it is on low and takes forever to cook the food.



Thanks

grill will not heat up over 299-300 degree's. manuel says to close all valves and reopne the tank valve 1-2 turns, wait 5 seconds and light one burner and it should fix the problem, I did this a few times and it did not work.
The grill is only a month old. Just changed the tank recently and started this problem

If the propane tank is full, it could be the pressure regulator. Some regulators have an adjustment screw on the top.
If it's REALLY cold outside, the propane may not be evaporating fast enough to keep the pressure up. Also on a cold or windy day, heat is drawn away from the grill very quickly, and it may be difficult to keep the temperature up inside.

Good luck!
(And Happy Grilling!)
