OT - Grill Problems

fhmesq44 · Sep 11, 2007

Anyone know anything about repairing a grill? When I turn on one burner it turns off all of the others. A friend of mine mentioned it may be the venturi tubes. Anyone have any idea or encountered this problem before?

Try shutting everything off-including the valve at the tank, and then open the tank valve & then the burners.

I've got something similar-as have others I know. It's flaky as hell when it wants to be....makes you think the tank is empty.

A good idea is to take the grill into a small, enclosed area that is sealed airtight. Turn on the gas for about 5 minutes and then light it. The grill will then easily light.

I actually know a dumbass who let the gas run for 1-2 minutes with the lid closed before hitting the igniter. Blew the lid wide open & I guess gave him some nice hair singe.

I would have paid good money to see that one. Idiot

Where's one of the funny video cameras when you need them.

Tried all that TT. It has been happening for a while so I changed the tank and everything. Been using 4 of the 6 burners for quite some time but now it is even more f*ed up. Maybe I will try Texasfans' recommendation, right after I mail my life insurance premium.
