The key in this video was "after you cleaned the burners, you're not done". Telling me to clean the gas jets fixed my issue and was gold since other videos didn't touch on this. A big thanks!
After watching and reading a number of other resources that neglected to mention it, your tip about the gas release widget saved us from replacing our barbecue. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this fix. I've been trying to fix my grills forever and never had luck. I have to grills I'm going to fix tomorrow. I just know this is going to work. :)
I had already purchased new burner tubes and heat distribution plates from Amazon when I stumbled across this video. I needed those parts as well but thanks for the video on what else I need to check before I put it back together. 👍🏾
Excellent....this has to be my problem because I take pretty good care of my grill. Now I am hungry for pork chops so that's gonna be my inaugural meal in honor of your culinary and technical expertise!
Thank you so much, I was about to give up on our Grillmate BBQ which has not been used for years and it was not heating it. I will try to clean the tubes and see if it solves the issue.
thank you, my dad was ready to throw out a couple thousand dollar ducane and just buy another because it wasnt working right. and to him it being 5 years old is old enough to just replace! fixed it for him!
Thank you very much.. most searches only say to change the regulator. My grill is about 25 years old. The burners are still good. Unfortunately I spent 50.00 on a new regulator only the find out the problem continued. One good flame. The other two burners very low. I will try cleaning the jets. Im sure now thats the problem.
Just fixed my grill with these methods, due to the accessibility I skipped the part where you clean the little orifice at the valve. I shook all the crap out of the tubes but only shaking out the tubes and not cleaning the holes. I reassembled the grill and that didn't work. I disassembled the grill parts again and punching the holes out did the trick, grill works fine now. thanks
Did you use pipe dope when you out your orifices on? I just redid a grill with brand new valves and orifices and not getting pressure. Double checked manifolds and no leaks. I'm wondering if I clogged orifices with pipe dope
I was only getting about 300F. My grill had a tube in the rear that fed gas from the left burner to the others. it was half full of rust chunks. I cleaned that tube out, but the REAL secret is to fully pressurize the manifold BEFORE opening the burner valves. Wait about five seconds (after opening the tank valve) before you open any burner valves. Got her up to 520F yesterday!
@@devbra5585 OK, if you follow the line from the gas tank to the front of the grill, it feeds into burner one. Then at the back of burner one, there is a tube across the back of the grill that feeds propane gas to all three burners. And that tube is known as the manifold.
Thank you okay yes i understand but why would pressurizing the manifold for a few second work ??? If the output of the cyclinder is fixed then why would opening the cylinder first before turning the burners on work ???
@@devbra5585 Don't know if you've worked this out, found this recently myself while doing a bit of research, apparently the regulator on the hose has a safety built into it. If it thinks there's a leak it'll limit the gas flow. If this is the case you'll need to disconnect the hose from the gas bottle and let it rest for 30 secs, that'll reset the valve in the regulator. Reattach turn on the bottle first, then your burners.
I’m actually dealing with the opposite problem and I’m going through an entire bottle every 2 weeks. I turn it off after each use otherwise it seems to last even less. Is there a way to adjust something under there to slow it down? Sometimes I have to leave my burners on low and even then it spikes up over 400.
I just replaced the burner tubes on my Weber and was disappointed to see the first burner is still not lighting. I think your tip about the manifold valve will likely solve this. I wasn't aware they screw off. Thanks for the tip.
I used compressed air to clear the burner tubes, but I’ll have to go back and check the valves. It works much better now, but could probably use some more TLC. I was hesitant to remove my burner tubes because mine are a pain to access. Great video!
Overall you helped people "I'm sure" however your flame shouldn't be yellow you are not cooking a efficient burn so just to tell you your just a tad off
Agreed. Next to the burner (what he called “tube” should be a screw where you slightly adjust the oxygen mixture. Turn it slightly either side until you get a nice bluish flame. That yellow flame means there’s too much air in the mixture and will add soot to your food.
The screw you had to remove with heat what is it for? is it a mix adjustment screw.My Charbroil grill has one on the bottom side of each burner tube they are badly rusted and on removal no longer fit. Burner is giving an orange flame and maxing out at 350.
@@KooperSalmo On my Charbroil there are 2 screws a top cross over plate screw holding down the plate that spreads the flame across burners and on each burner a bottom screw that seems to restrict the orifice of the burner tube as you turn it in hence my idea it makes a richer or leaner gas mix. These bottom screws are pretty much shot.
@Ramirez Ramirez i found that when you open the gas, you need to open it slowly. turn it slow. then just use the handles to set it where you want. if i open the gas fast thats when i have a problem.
Maintenance on any equipment should be done at least yearly if used occasionally. If it's used year around it should be done every 3 month at the most. Get to know you're equipment, it's an investment. If you don't take good care of it like car, it will not last. If you love to cook! You also need to not mind doing the cleaning too.
What did I do without this for so long?2 pieces of French Toast at a time ?20 minutes for 10 pancakes ?NO MOREthis griddle is awesomeTook some time to season before first use ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHM5jmQoi4dbb0hoWSBs9hPhSwXUbGVG_ did brunch and hibachi dinner on Mother’s Day and it worked like a charmSturdy, well built and heats up quick. burners2-4 were a little stubborn but then lit up.Great addition to my patio.Bought the cover and it’s great, also bought the accessories kit - scraper is good but the spatulas are flimsy to be honest that’s my only negative.
I wish i would have thought of that but the grill was headed for the trash and i decided to make a video after i fixed it back to new so i thought i would show people the problem and how to fix it

Me too dude!!!!!
After watching and reading a number of other resources that neglected to mention it, your tip about the gas release widget saved us from replacing our barbecue. Thank you!
Your air shutter is closed, that’s why you have a yellow flame, it should be blue. And your cooking will be faster
Air shutter? What and where is that?
Spent a crazy amount of time on the manufacturer's site trying to get this information. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this fix. I've been trying to fix my grills forever and never had luck. I have to grills I'm going to fix tomorrow. I just know this is going to work. :)
Good video. I found a different issue with my project but this walk through gave me more confidence to take it apart and troubleshoot.
Very grateful for this video - 2nd tip at 1:30 forward has escaped me for decades - bad burner #4 is on my target list - thank you!

Just a quick add. This comment is 2 years old. My grill is still going. Two years extended life. I’ll take it. 👍🏾
Thanks. I'm seeing 650f on my grill for the first time in years.

You’re right, my main problem was the valve. I didn’t even know it could be cleaned. THANK YOU!! Good as new!
You Dah Man. Paperclip through the gas valve and my Weber was back in business and not in a landfill. Thanks much!!
I followed his tips and it worked wonders! Thank you 🙏
DUDE! RIGHTEOUS!!!! Thank you! Couldnt figure out why my side burner wouldnt work. Clogged valve.....
My barbecue was 3 years old I was going to get the new one now I don't have to thank you so much for the tip😀
Adding burner tube cover plates will help keep the burner tubes from getting clogged. Walmart sells universal ones also burner tubes.
Thanks for the vid, straight to the point, i like that
Very helpful. Mine is doing exactly that. Can’t wait to try this
Great help video. Got me going in the right direction 👍thx
Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Awesome that’s why I made this video
Had a blocked jet on mine and cleaned out with a needle. Fixed. Thank you!
Paperclip didnt fit but needle did thank you!
Thanks man cleaning the Nozzles did the trick 👍
Thanks man u really helped out ,,,good advice
I have spent off and on all week tryin to get my gas grill to work. New burners but no gas getting to them. thanks this makes sense
Great video. Saved me some serious money!

Thanks, your video was very helpful, I was going to replace the burner, but now after watching your video I realize it’s clogged.
Thank you .. i used a pin to clear the oil from hole. That tiny valve was just clogged up bad. My bbq works like new again. Thank you
Your welcome making videos helping people makes it all worth it
I subscribed to your channel watching this video. You have explained this very lucidly a layman like me can understand
Thanks
THANK YOU!!! I worked!!!
This fixed mine, it looked clean but i cleaned it anyways. works perfectly now.
Very helpfull. Thanks for the video.
I'm trying this tomorrow. Thanks for the video
My issue was where the rubber hose connects to the grill. It was clogged. Great video grill works perfect again.

Great video!
Thanks for the tips. Looking at your flames they were yellow not blue. Might need to adjust the air intake on the tubes. Again thanks
Thanks sir. I wont be throwing out the grill!
Thanks man good advice ill be doing all that to my girl tomorrow,,,don't wont to do it just right now ive already had to many beers ,,,,
Thank you for your video. I will do per your instructions.

I’ll clean it out this weekend!
Why the flames are so red/yellow? Looks like the air mix ratio is low..?
I always find a spider web covering the jet. And yes, I'm turning off the propane tank valve when I'm finished.
Probably have a spider living in there
Excellent procedure for an annual clean up
Good video

I’ve had bbq 10 years old and no problem. My new one 2 years blocked.
This video didn’t help me but I did inspire me to disable the top and retried it and worked. Lol
Your welcome im glad it fixed tour grill
U rock
Would drilling the flame holes bigger a couple of mm help for more heat, after its been cleaned?
I’ve never tried that. I wonder if the flame would be too intense

@Cainnech lol I'm like you but 50
@@CainnechK This is better hidden so the you think “well, guess I better buy a new one”. They gotta make money somehow.

I have spark and gas but will not light. I can use a lighter but will not start with igniter. Any ideas?
Try using sandpaper between the contact
Gonna try this on my free and poor propane grill.. Need to get at least 1 good bbq out of this thing..
Mine has been like that since new. Wastes gas instant but really low flame that goes out with any slight wind
@Ramirez Ramirez i found that when you open the gas, you need to open it slowly. turn it slow. then just use the handles to set it where you want. if i open the gas fast thats when i have a problem.

Thanks
Need flame dampers to cover your burn tubes
Unfortunately I can't take that little tube like you did with yours.
Thanks for the video, but turn down or get rid of the music. It’s hard to hear you sometimes.
Every year spiders get into my burners and jets and clog them up with webs n gunk.
You flame looks like it isn’t getting enough air.
Thanks for this video… I fix mine……
What is the part that the gas goes through called
It's called "gas goes through thingy"!
Orifice

Yes never buy a nexgrill sold at Home Depot the catch on fire seriously beware of that brand
@@KooperSalmo yes and I can take it apart like the video because it's connected to not be taken apart
Dude microphone noise.
wish to see bbq's problem begin of the video.....so compare can compare before and after. Thanks anyway.
I wish i would have thought of that but the grill was headed for the trash and i decided to make a video after i fixed it back to new so i thought i would show people the problem and how to fix it
too late I already bought the second Grill
Oh man, WHY the distracting music?
You still have issues. Your flame should not be soft yellow like that. It should be sharp blue. Youre not getting enough air.
It’s been a few years and the grill is working perfectly. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
