If you are using a 20# propane cylinder, most likely you have just turned the tank valve on too fast. There is an excess flow built into the hose fitting, so when you first turn it on to an empty line, the sudden surge of gas causes the valve to 'check' or close. Turn off the tank valve, disconnect the hose fitting from the tank valve and then re-hook it up again. Now very slowly open the tank valve until it's completely open and then try lighting it again. If this does not fix it, then make sure the hose fitting that attaches to the tank valve is tightened all the way, so that it pushes open the pressure seat inside the tank valve. If the hose is still loose or can still swivel, despite the adapter being tight, then your plastic adapter may be broken and is not tightening all the way onto the tank valve or your inner tank valve black rubber gasket is missing.

I recently moved. When the grill arrived to the new home I had to purchase a new propane tank to replace the old one. The grill will not light. For some reason it isn't getting any gas. Any suggestions on what the problem might be?
I tried the obvious... tightening the connections, trying to light it manually etc.
Thanks,
K

suggest you take the tank and trade it in for a new one with one of the propane companies like blue rhino. it's about $15 to $20 and you get a brand new full tank.

It sounds like you may be "vapor locking" the grill...after you are done cooking on the grill, how do you shut it off? Do you close the tank valve first then close the burner valves or do you turn off the burner valves then shut the gas off at the tank? If you turn the burners off before turning the gas off, you are creating a "vapor-lock" where air gets trapped in the line and you get the sputtering you are talking about.
Try this first, turn the gas on, then light the grill...once it is lit, turn off the gas and wait for the flame to fully extinguish then turn the burners off. Now try to light it again...if it is still sputtering, repeat the procedure above to purge the air out of the line.
If that procedure does not fix your issue after three tries, go get a new line and regulator and install then do that same procedure again. This should fix your issue once and for all.
If you experience any trouble with this, let me know here. Good Luck!
