Uniflame 200209 Open Flame Patio Heater

Lack of heat

posted by jrj2 on Jun 19, 2008


Hi. I have a Uniflame "Richmond" model grill bought at Walmart.There are no briquettes with this model. My problem is that, even with a full tank of propane, I cannot get "real" heat from the unit. I feel that the cover above the flame inhibits the true grilling experience. It is very frustrating. Any ideas please send to me by email at jrj2@shaw.ca
Thank you.

The plates protect the burners and help disperse the flame more evenly across the grill surface. Make sure the tank is completely open (knob on top of tank) and that when the burner is turned up to high, the flames out of the burners are about 1 1/2 to 2" long, mostly blue in color. If they are smaller, and the tank is open all the way, the regulator hose may be defective.
