supply available? If only one burner appears low, does
the orifice or burner need cleaning? Are any other gas
appliances at the location below normal rate? Is the air

pressure low?

WARNING
SPIDER AND INSECT INFESTATION
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners/venturi tubes of this or any
other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is
a very dangerous condition that can cause a fire to occur behind the
valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
