Quick Check List! #1

Consult the owner’s manual and practice safety!  Many manuals are available online.  If you do not have experience with gas grills, get an owner’s manual or find someone with experience to help!

Little or no Gas to Grill -

·        Check LP tank for gas.  A normal LP tank weighs 19lbs empty.

·        Turn off all grill knobs and LP tank valves.

·        Open the LP tank valve and try lighting grill.

·        The newer QCC LP tanks have a safety device that shuts off if a grill valve is “open-on” before the tank valve is opened.

·        Pull grill grids and flame throwers.

·        Light gas grill burners one at a time until all are on the high flame position.

·        If the flame starts medium and then starts going down with each burner lit, you likely have a faulty LP hose regulator.  You can usually find a replacement locally.  Be sure to take the old hose with you.

·        Use a long stemmed lighter to see if burner is getting gas.  Keep your face away from the burner.  If you hear the gas but can’t get a flame, check the position of the burners.

·        Check your work before using the grill.
