Problem
Burners burn with a yellow or orange flame, in
conjunction with the smell of gas.
Burner does not light, or flame is low
in HIGH position.
Experiencing flare-ups:
CAUTION: Do not line the bottom tray
with aluminum foil.
Burner flame pattern is erratic. Flame is low
when burner is on HIGH. Flames do not run
the whole length of the burner tube.
Inside of lid appears to be “peeling.”
(Resembles paint peeling.)
Fuel scale shows that there is gas in the
LP tank, but tank is empty.
Check
Inspect Weber Spider Stopper
Guards for possible obstructions.
(Blockage of holes.)
Is flow limiting device activated?
Is LP fuel low or empty?
Is fuel hose bent or kinked?
Does the Front burner light with a
match?
Are you preheating barbecue in the
prescribed manner?
Are the cooking grates and
Flavorizer Bars heavily coated with
burned-on grease?
Is the bottom tray "dirty" and not
allowing grease to flow into catch
pan?
Are burners clean?
The lid is porcelain-on-steel, not
paint. It cannot “peel.” What you are
seeing is baked on grease that has
turned to carbon and is flaking off.
THIS IS NOT A DEFECT.
Check adjustment of fuel scale.

Guards. (See Section "Annual
Maintenance".)
