Has anyone had a problem with flame going out on charbroil grill when burners are on low?
Question:
Answers:
I had this problem last year. If all else fails, read the instruction manual. Ends up they had a troubleshooting guide inside that said to check the feed tubes going to the burners. It seem that spiders have a liking to these tubes. they crawl into the tube and build a nest where the tubes bend. clean the spider webs out and reassemble. It should work ok after the cleaning.
sounds like you may be low on gas
You might be low on gas, then again you might have turned it too low before the charcoal/ or whatever you are using was at the right temperature.
Could be several things..
1. You may need a new regulator
2. Burners may need cleaning or if in bad shape, replacing
3. Too much of a breeze which is blowing the flame out
4. LP is low in tank - have it refilled
Yeah, you might be low on gas or it got too windy and the wind blew out the flame.
Yes, this is a common problem. There is probably one of two problems occuring: 1) The temperature outside has cooled your propane tank or gas lines down to a point where the gas pressure has dropped. As gas cools, the volume shrinks and that lowers the PSI (pounds per square inch). Low pressure equals small flames. To resolve this, you can take a hair dryer outside and blow hot air directly onto the propane tank and/or gas lines. Set your hair dryer on the hottest setting and hold it close to the tank to heat up the metal.
2) There might be a vacuum forming in your gas lines. Sometimes this causes low flames. To resolve this problem, turn off the tank first, and then turn your grill knobs to the off position. After every thing is turned off, wait about 1 minutes. Now turn your tank on first. This is very important. You want the pressure to build in your gas lines BEFORE you turn the grill knobs to the on position. After your tank is "on", turn your grill knobs to "high" and light your grill.
If I had to guess at one of the above problems, I would bet the first problem exists. Try heating up your tank with the hair dryer. I bet you have adequate "low flames" after the gas expands in the tank from the heat.
Good Luck.
Jim is right there
1. Bad regulator
2. Dirty burners
3. LP tank low
4. Dirty gas orifice will cause little to no flame at a low setting
allowing flame to go out easily
