Problem
Burners burn with a yellow or orange

Barbecue temperature only reaches 250˚ to

Experiencing flare-ups:
CAUTION: Do not line the bottom tray

Burner flame pattern is erratic. Flame is
low when burner is on HIGH. Flames do
not run the whole length of the burner
tube.
Fuel scale shows that there is gas in the
LP tank, but tank is empty.
Barbecue seems to lose heat when
cooking in cold weather temperatures
50˚ F or colder.
(The liquid propane in the
cylinder turns to vapor too slowly to
supply the burners with gas. This is due to
the air temperature cooling the LP cylinder
which slows the vaporization process.)

The excess flow safety device,
which is part of the barbecue to

Check adjustment of fuel scale.
Is there frost/ice on the outside of
the LP cylinder?
