We were so frustrated that we couldn't get gas to our brand new 22" Blackstone. We remembered seeing your video as we were binge-watching Blackstone videos, so we rewatched it and ordered the new regulator. Worked like a charm! Thanks so much.
Good to hear you resolved this issue! now we can continue to see some awesome cooks on this thing. I've also bookmarked this video in the event I ever pick one of these up, I'll know exactly what to do if I run into any issues. Thanks Sal!
Thanks for the video. I’ve had my 36 inch griddle a couple of years now and it has worked great until recently. I’m tired of the regulator issues, so I’m going to try what you did. I have a flame, but it’s very low, and I have reset it a bunch of times like you did. Thanks!
I bought the 36 inch Blackstone a few weeks ago. It was taking forever to cook everything...even on the highest setting. The new regulator solved this problem. Thanks. Subscribed!
Now we Definitely have 🔥Fire in the Hole!!👍glad ya resolved the issue Sal, looking forward to some cooks! Have a great week brother, you all stay safe!👍👊🍻🤘
I had to do the same thing with my Bayou Classic banjo burner. The burner was producing too much yellow flame, which meant there was too much air mixed in with the propane. I had to replace the regulator, and this fixed my problem the way you fixed yours.
Good deal on your fix, Sal! I know you were very frustrated with it not working right, especially being so new. Your new regulator and gauge is top notch, and just the ticket. I really like the adjustable feature on the regulator, very cool for multiple uses and burner set-ups. Glad it is put to bed; looking forward to many delicious cooks on your Blackstone!
That's my man. Beat on that regulator with a wrench... I went through the same process yesterday, and I found that a drill does wonders. Just drill it right down the center, and wipe out any low pressure regulation at all, but keep the throughput... Now, my grill gets up to about 1,500 degrees. Much improved.
Man....WHAT a hassle when you needed it Sal. Good troubleshooting Bud. Seems like you haven't had that thing very long and already an igniter and regulator failure. Hopefully that's the end of the problems and it's happy griddeling from now on!
I got a fairly new blackstone. I've had it for about under a year and cooked on it handful of times. I've notice it has low flame compared to my fathers blackstone. I've reset the regulator more times than i can count. Just came across your video, about to buy same regulator as you. fingers crossed!
Yeah agreed, the parts and pieces are a bit shoddy. I’ve had similar problems with my regulator and honestly the igniters aren’t solid either. Good fix, I’ll have to look into that. Rock on Sal! 🍻🍻🤘
I have a two burner griddle but the male fitting is smaller. Did you remove that ? Or do I need an adapter to make it bigger so it forts the fitting. It won’t let me post photo.
@@rootboycooks so what pressure do you recommend it for a Blackstone 28 inch? This is the first time using one of these things and I went ahead and ordered it a few minutes ago. Blackstone is sending me another one of theirs, but I honestly don’t trust them at this point. So I just went ahead and went with some thing that somebody used and raves about. I’m seeing complaints online about the regulators that Blackstone sends out with their griddles. Just seems like they have a lot of complaints about this particular piece. I mean, I’m not getting any gas flow at all. It’s ridiculous.
just bought the hose adapter; the regulator is so frustrating to use. when you turn over the stove; are you removing the entire nut ?? then screwing in the new adapter ?? many thanks
I watched your video and purchased this regulator. My situation is a little different as we have a new sierra pitboss griddle and we love it but just doesn't stay hot enough, so going to hopefully increase the flame just a little by increasing the psi. Will let you know how it goes after I install.
@@rootboycooks Got the regular in, and quick lesson learned, make sure to remove grease trap before lifting up griddle on side lol, anyway, worked like a charm, turned on the tank, and after lightning the grill with the red adjustable knob I was able to adjust to the level of flame we needed and the flame stayed blue perfectly, and just for the sake of doing it I turned it a little higher and noticed was so much pressure it blew the flame out, but was just for my own curiosity, but just had to let you know how it went. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Been having the same issue with mine , it works fine off my rv , and off the little green bottles but hit and miss off my 20# tanks ! I may do what you did with the regulator
I started having the same problem with my one year old 36 inch blackstone. 3 days it lit and had a low flame, then a few seconds later high flame. It did that about 3 times. I decided to reset the regulator,, when I kneeled down by the tank the regulator hose blew up throwing 3-4 flames burning my face, hand, right contact, hair, and eyebrows. Blackstone cookers be careful please, and keep burn cream near by.
Hey boss I bought that little adapter and it fit and it works but I still have trouble getting my 22in lit when I was in between hoses I took my air compressor and blew out all the metal ports not sure how this red regulator knob works I mean I turn it but the gauge never changes I tried pressing down on it fairly hard and turn it and I still can't get the gauge off of 0 which probably explains why i can't get the left side lit any suggestions?
I bought the hose from Amazon that was on your link But the nut on the end of the new hose is too big to fit over the existing piece on the Blackstone is there an adapter?
yes. I don't know the part # offhand but I could look it up if you need it. It's also on Amazon. I am on my mobikle right now will look it up when I get home later on this evening!

Picked up a new Blackstone one from Walmart. This regulator is trash, low flame or flame is way to much. There is no low setting when it works. going to try this.
Thank you for sharing! I am going through the same Blankety Blank issues! How is the new regulator doing? Is it still working like you described? I am going to order it also (Your Linked regulator). I was going to junk the grill before I saw this video. I have already purchased a new regulator from BS, just like the original. That was more time and money wasted. It seemed like Black Stone's initials was for something besides Black stone. Also I noticed the regulator you show at the beginning (your original) has the reg.at the tank. My original has the reg. at the grill. I was told that if I bought one that has the reg. at the tank , that would sole my issues. So your video proves that wrong as well. Thank you and I hope you can comment if this set up is still working fine.
@@rootboycooksMan what a difference!! I now need to keep the new adjustment turned down, or it acts like a blast furnace. This has been the hardest propane device I have ever owned to light! Black Stone should have recalled these regulators!! Not anymore. Thank You. I am hope full to have continued luck lighting and heating. It has never lit or heated like this so I am optimistic!
Well here it is 9 months + later and this is still fantastic! It lights like a indoor stove. It lights easy and usually the first time every time! Thank you I have used tis grill more in the last 9 month that the whole 2 years prior
As someone who is still on the fence as to Blackstone vs. Camp Chef, the need to do a home repair so soon after purchase kinda' doesn't bode well for Blackstone. Then again, I could tell a few horror stories about new items I've purchased and to to repair way too soon (Dell computer, anyone?). Anyway, now that you've masterfully found and fixed the problem, time to Rock that flattop!
the stuff they make for gas anything is all junk right i dont have the grill rootboycooks i have a similar problem i have a weed torch i use two light fires in my fire pit..well the tube blew up in the winter so i waited two replace,, same thing its like impossible two find the darn parts...even if you buy a replacement hose it is as much as buying the hole dam thing all over... kinda silly..cool video,, great time of year two get the garden going.. fire in the hole
I have a two burner griddle but the male fitting is smaller. Did you remove that ? Or do I need an adapter to make it bigger so it forts the fitting. It won’t let me post photo.

I just did this and wow, does it ever work. So thankful to you for this easy and inexpensive fix.
Every time ilight mine I marvel at how good it lights! thanks!
Glad you got it fixed Sal. There is nothing more aggravating then something not working when you need it. Cheers 🍻 and rock on 🤘 brother
I was fit to be tied! Thanks Steve!

Where did you get the new regulator from?
I bought one cant get the piece of shit to even ignite
Now we Definitely have 🔥Fire in the Hole!!👍glad ya resolved the issue Sal, looking forward to some cooks! Have a great week brother, you all stay safe!👍👊🍻🤘
Thanks Craig!
Great Tip! I like that you can control the flow (save on propane as well), thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
You fixed it😃Great job Sal😁A "BIG"👍🏻ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻

Fingers crossed! Thanks John!
Can you adjust the temp on the knobs without turning the regulator up or down?
That's my man. Beat on that regulator with a wrench... I went through the same process yesterday, and I found that a drill does wonders. Just drill it right down the center, and wipe out any low pressure regulation at all, but keep the throughput... Now, my grill gets up to about 1,500 degrees. Much improved.
Right on!
Amazing the video that you make! Looks really nice the bbq and the you fixed really well! Great work!🦇
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for the help sir I just ordered the elbow-shaped adapter
I hope it works!
Wow, this worked like a top. Thank you for the video.
I smile everytime I light my griddle! Thanks!
Glad the problem was solved!

If the right side lights but the left won't there is a problem in the burner bar.The gauge only moves little bit, 3 psi max! Please be careful!

Same one. Brand new. It lights, but the left side won't burn hot.
That might not be the fault of the regulator, if one side lights up but not the other. Check the Blackstone FAQ's.
@@rootboycooks it lights after a struggle. But the left side has orange flames and won't cook hot at all.
If you can return it I would definitly take it back.
i got same problem thanks
Not anymore!
Picked up a new Blackstone one from Walmart. This regulator is trash, low flame or flame is way to much. There is no low setting when it works. going to try this.
I laugh every time I light mine now! Rock on!
Thank u man I just bought mines a 36 inch & it doesn't light

You are about to fall in love with your griddle again!
How can you tell when the tank is totally empty?
The only way I know is to weigh the tank, it weighs signifagantly less when empty.

Glad you figured out a fix Sal! Easy enough, but you shouldn't have had to do it... But it's fixed now, so let's see the cooks! ROCK ON!🤘👍👊🍻
