Hi

If the gas valve is fine then the issue is with the igniter that is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

This sounds like a classic symptom of a bad regulator. Try replacing the regulator and hose.

First, you need to determine if it is the spark ignitors going bad or the Ignition Module.
If the spark ignitor tips are covered with grease or residue, this will give them the appearance that they're failing. Cotton balls and alcohol, work well to clean the spark ignitors. Also, check the wiring from the spark ignitors back to the ignition module. There may be some wear or even a burn on the wiring. Change the battery in the ignition module. Be sure the new battery is facing the same direction as the old battery, when you install it. Before installing the new battery, check the battery holder for corrosion on the contacts. If you see any, use a Q-Tip and WD40 to remove it.

As far as replacing the ignitors is concerned, you may only have to replace the spark ignitors and not all the wiring. It depends on how the wire is attached to the spark ignitor. If it can be carefully pulled of the bottom tip of the ignitor and then si back on, all you need is the spark ignitor. If not, you'll need the spark ignitor with the wiring attached. All of the wiring, will then have to be fished back to the ignitor module.

I hope this helped you to troubleshoot and determine if any parts do need replacing.

If you are using a 20Lb LP Gas Tank, rather than hard piped to the grill or you're using Natural Ga, here in may lie the problem. If it is Natural Gas, was the grill converted or ordered for Natural Gas? If not, that's why it' not heating well.

If you're using a 20Lb grill tank, do the following:

1. Turn the Propane Tank Valve OFF and disconnect the hose from the tank.

2.Wait 5 minutes and reconnect the hose to the tank. Open the tank valve VERY, VERY SLOWLY (Slow motion, slow).

3. Once the valve is fully open, light the burner farthest from the tank first and turn the control knob to HIGH. Does the flame height look correct for being on HIGH? If so, light the remaining burners the same way, Do all the flame hieghts look correct? If co, close the lid and allow the grill to preheat for at least 20 minutes. Did the grill thermometer go higher that 200 degrees F. If so, you solved the problem. Always remember to turn the tank valve ON very, very slowly.

If that did not solve the problem, the thermometer may be incorrect/faulty. I had this happen myself, with a new grill. To test it, invest $5.00 in an Oven Thermometer, like you use in a regular oven, It sits on the oven shelf. But, in this case it will sit on the center of the grill's cooking grates.

Light the grill and preheat it for 20 minutes. Loo k at the grill thermometer and then lift the hood and look at the oven thermometer. The oven thermometer may be as much as 200 degrees higher. That's because it's actually reading the temperature at cooking level, not up in the air, where the grill thermometer is.

I never replaced my grill thermometer. I continue to use the inexpensive oven thermometer, because it's giving me the actual temperature, at the level I'm grilling at. And I, do a lot of grilling.

Hope this helped you troubleshoot and solve the problem. Pleas let me know and Happy Grilling.

According to BBQ's Galore, no you can't. This is due to it's overall design as a built-in grill head. On the surface, the grill heads look similar, but there are some significant design differences that would affect it operation..

the regulator has went bad and needs replaced.

Did you check if the ignitor has a coil? If there is, check or replace the coil.

1. Loosen or remove the screws securing the glow igniter to the burner. Follow the two wires attached to the igniter. At the end farthest from the igniter will be a wire pull apart quick disconnect. Disconnect the glow coil at that point.

2. Install the new coil exactly as you found the existing coil. Replace each part in reverse order. Plug in the stove and turn it on. The oven burner now should work.

Thank you and good luck!

CHECK THAT THE IGNITION WIRE IS NOT BROKEN OR EXPOSED AND ALSO MAKE SURE THE TIP OF IGNITION WIRE IS CLEAN .

usually people just burn them off but you can use a paint scraper and scrape them off there is alot of flavor in having dirty briquettes

i beleive they just opened a new one in atlanta

if you havent already done it call bbq galore 214 696 0030

Problem solved. The store FINALLY sent someone out who knows what they're doing. After about a hour of adjusting and tweaking he got it working fine. Apparently, the adjustments have to be made with the grill partially disassembled so flames can be viewed from top and bottom. Also, it needs to be load balanced with adjusting with all burners on, then with fewer and fewer burners on. Dan B.

If it does not get hot enough when using natural gas then the small propane orfices must be sized larger for the equivalent BTU rating of propane. Conversion tables are online via Google

Hi,
You will need to contact the manufacturer for replacement burner nozzles. As Propane is at a higher pressure, the nozzles need to be smaller in diameter.
You will also need a tank fitting for Propane with a regulator attatched - and a large spanner to attatch it.
Make sure any pipe connector to this is fitted with an approved hose crimp, as "jubilee" type clamps are not recommended.
If you just fit the regulator, the burners can flare dangerously on the high settings - unless it has been designed to be dual fuel originally, and have replacement nozzles.

Hi,
Yes you can just buy the regulator. Try camping shops or caravan centres.
There will be a choice of Butane or Propane. They are quite different connectors so will be easy to tell apart.

Make sure to crimp the hose securely as "jubilee" type clamps are not advised.

Do you have a manual for your grill?
It sounds like it needs a good cleaning. That spiders are clogging your unit, so you need maintence on this grill.
If you decide to do this project on your own. Please,turn off you gas to the unit.

If you need a manual I will direct you.
Or need step by step instructions I will guide you through this.
