20 Most Recent Weber Baby Q Grill Questions & Answers

Agree with rjmbridge. I called the Weber support people and was told that there is a built in safety feature on the regulator that will cause the flame to burn at a low setting if the gas within the extension tube to the large tank and regulator is not allowed enough time to equalize. They suggested turning on the gas from the tank very slowly, allow about 2 minutes with the temperature control knob turned off, then turn the temp knob on and light. This worked for me.

Don't worry, you'll be grilling in no time, if you follow these instructions:

1. Turn the gas tank valve OFF.

2. Disconnect the grill's hose from the propane tank and wait 5 minutes.

3. Reconnect the hose to the tank and open the tank's gas valve VERY, VERY SLOWLY (Slow Motion, slow).

Once the valve is fully open light one burner and turn it to HIGH. Has the flame height returned to normal? If so, light the remaining burner and turn it to HIGH. Do both flame heights look normal?
If so, you solve the problem! Remember to always turn the tank valve ON Very, Very Slowly.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know and Happy Grilling!!

Try Amazon or a local outdoor furnishings store.

Weber has the manuals to many of their grills on their support page: http://help.weber.com/manuals/default.aspx#model . You'll need to use the drop-down menus to select your region, language, Gas, Weber Q Grill and then the model number. If you can read the serial number of your grill, you can get to the manual more quickly from the Serial Number tab, http://help.weber.com/manuals/default.aspx#serial-number . The direct link to the Weber Baby Q (2008) owner's manual is http://c929377.r77.cf2.rackcdn.com/BabyQ_OwnersGuide_41636_060205.pdf . Other useful documents are also available from the site. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Sounds like the reg is letting too much gas pass

Clean out the burner holes with a nail.

Sounds like you need to replace the igniter. If the gas lights with a match, there's nothing wrong with the gas bottle. line or burner.

After you disconnect the hose from the tank, wait 5 minutes before reconnecting it. Then turn the tank valve ON VERY, VERY SLOWLY (slow motion, slow). Once the valve is fully open. Light the burner and turn it to it's highest setting. Did the flame height return to normal? I f so, problem solved. If it didn't remove and clean the burner and the venturi valve, Spiders like to build nest in them. If after all of this, the flame height still hasn't returned to normal and you're sure you have a good amount of gas in the tank. You'll need to replace the grill's hose/regulator assembly. You can find one at any home center or hardware store that sell gas grills and accessories. Take you old one with you for comparison purposes.

Hope this time, Your problem was solved. Happy Grilling!!

if you got the cannister from the shop with the grill the chances are that the cannister needs filling first as gas bottles are empty when new.
