Thermos Stainless Steel Gas Grill Questions & Answers
I am smelling propane at the cooking surface when
When the knob is in the ignite position, the gas should be coming out of the burners at a rate sufficient enough to light. It's normal to smell it before the igniter (either electric or push-button) ignites the gas.
If you recently moved the grill with the internal parts still inside it, it's quite possible the burner tubes have become loose in the holders. They are quite easy to remove because they are a commonly replaced component. Remove the grates and flavorizer bars according to your manual, and you should be able to reach in and check the position and snugness of the burner tubes.
Make sure you close the propane valve and disconnect the tank before doing this. Also, don't smoke when working on your grill. :)

Any time you run out
Depends on the appliance. If it's a gas grill, turn the tank on very, very slowly until it's fully open.
If it's a gas heater or gas log set, the air will have to be purged out of the line, so the gas can reach the pilot, before relighting. If it's a gas range, depending on how long a run of piping, you may also need to purge it. If it's a gas furnace, you'll have to do the same thing. Unless, it's a high efficiency gas furnace, then it will purge itself when it runs thru the start up cycle.
Hope this helps.
