Experiencing flare-ups:
ƽCAUTION: 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.

tank, but tank is empty.
Check
Inspect Weber Spider Stopper
Guards for possible obstructions.

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

Is LP fuel low or empty?

THIS IS NOT A DEFECT.
Check adjustment of fuel scale.
