Low Flame On A Propane Barbecue-Easy Fix-Tutorial

In this video, I show you an easy fix for a low flame on a propane barbecue. If you have cleaned your grills and you still have a low flame on your barbecue, it is likely because of the propane regulator that you have activated. There is a special device within the regulator on your propane barbecue that, when activated, will limit the flame on the grill. I show you how to figure out if yours is activated, and then show you how to deactivate it so that you can get a hot barbecue grill again.

Thank you! Fixed mine tonight 🎉

Just bought my grill a bit over a month ago. Used it a week ago for company and worked perfectly. Lit it the other night and had that tiny little flame. Took me an hour to cook a 15 minute dinner. I was ready to pull my hair out and slam my head through the garage wall. Just tried this trick now and worked like a charm on the first try. Thank you soooo much.

[@andrewclark5603]

I can't thank you enough for this video. We're on day 5 with no power recovering from Hurricane Helena in SC. Our grill is literally the only way we have to cook meals right now. I was having the exact problem you described. I even got a new tank thinking the old one was faulty. After following your instructions, my grill worked perfectly. I have been turning the burners on before opening the tank. Now I know how to do it correctly. Once again, thank you from SC!

Have been grilling for 15 years. Never had this happen but your video worked like a charm

[@jefflbi]

Almost 68 yrs old and I've never heard of this and have never had a problem with a grill, until today. I replaced the guts of my Char Broil gas grill and couldn't get a decent flame. I thought it was my tank, so I turned it in for a new one which was just as heavy. Got home, same problem. So I decided to come onto youtube and this was the first video I watched. BINGO!!!! I'm back in business!!! Thanks!!

[@wiesbadengera1]

As an American who thinks tipping is stupid. This is exactly when you should tip. If someone gives you fantastic information that improves your experience or saves you a bunch of money give them a tip and a thank you. It’s mutually beneficial and should be encouraged.

Bought my BBQ grill in 2006, for my 2nd floor apartment and kept it on the front porch. Used it for 2 years and hated it because it was unbelievably inconvenient running up and down the steps to cook meals. It sat since then. Fast forward 17 years and I moved in to a new home. I fired up the grill with a fresh tank and used it since April without issue. Then during our 4th of July party, the grill was only heating to 300 degrees. Took forever to get it up to temp. Thought there was something wrong so I cleaned all the burners. That didn't help. Found your video and it worked (yes on my 17 year old like-new regulator)! I couldn't be happier thanks for sharing. In less than 7 minutes the grill was up to 425 degrees.

[@RONGEE2099]

DUDE THANK YOU this totally worked I was about to spend 300 for a new grill much appreciated

[@EvM-y1k]

Even an engineer like me can learn something new. Excellent tutorial on something so simple.

[@brod2474]

“Even”? You mean you don’t know everything?

[@y2k704]

I knew there was a reason for this, give this man a medal for explaining in detail the issue

[@BigWiLL_973]

Bro you saved me from buying a new grill this weekend.. thanks 🙏

[@V8SKULLS]

Brother can't thank you enough Just went thru Hurricane Milton No power, no nothing And my BBQ would not light. Saw you video, Lifesaver

[@killahills4474]

Tried this tonight after replacing regulator and hose, releasing pressure valve for ten seconds on gas bottle as suggested in other videos. Had the air compressor out to clean the lines out, and a small crowd of bbq experts gathered round too. Watched your vid tried your trick, high fives all round,beers clinking, as the flames doubled in size in front of our eyes. I won’t say how many collective years of tertiary education and hours spent bbq between us, but it was way too many. You are the man.

[@Dan-vq4pz]

Holy crap! This worked perfectly!! Thank you dude!! No more exchanging half full cylinders for this guy right here 🎉🎉🎉

[@alottagarlic]

Seriously... i went and bought all new hardware and stuff and got the same results... thank you buddy!

[@mattmcphail6718]

You are the man! I knew there was nothing wrong with my grill, but finally after many videos you solved my problem. Thank you!

[@r.o.b.m2570]

Man thank you!!! You just stopped me from wasting a bunch of time and money trouble shooting my problem. I did what you said and it fired right back up at full blast🔥🔥🔥

[@dannyphillips2133]

This worked perfectly!!! I bought this propane grill second hand. Very nice grill. I could not get much flame. I thought well it is trash. I watch this video. And now my $500 grill that people gave away probably because they thought it was broken. Thank you. I gave you thumbs up. And subscribed thank you for sharing your time

[@MissionFailed2]

Thanks, man! Got a ton of steak right before the holiday-right when everything is closed. Thought I will be going hungry. Your little trick fixed the thing right up.

[@styop-chicago3147]

I had low flame and after watching your video and did what you instructed, it works fine! Thank you!

[@ChrisWolford-y7n]

Thank you so much man! Grill was only getting up to 250! Did this and it worked perfectly

[@paulstanwayjr]

Worked great! Have nearly a full propane tank but low bbq flame. I thought gas line or valve was clogged or “broken”. Followed your video and problem fixed in less than a minute. I will now open tank valve first and then open BBQ gas knob second. 65 years old and i still learned something new today. 😄

[@paulinammarie]

I was super skeptical this would fix my issue, but I followed the instructions and it worked immediately. Thanks!!

[@scarletgonzales840]

My man ! had the problem for months was about to take new grill apart. Worked like a charm thanks.

[@leechburglights]

Same here! Just referb'ed a barely used grill that was working perfectly. Then all of the sudden, the temp wouldn't go above 300 degrees.

[@tiasims4458]

Worked perfectly for me- saved me a ton of stress and saved dinner! Thank you!

[@bigroky3484]

Thanks man. Brand new bbq, though it is broken. Your advice is great. You saved my marriage. Greeting from Australia

[@puphouse]

Dude! Thank you! Saved me so much time. Had no idea I needed to reset that regulator, but now make sense! System is on fire now!!

[@TheMarkyMarx]

Thank you. Saved me from going to get a new propane tank. Burners were super low because I had not turned on the tank on first for the correct ignition sequence. Caused a bit of a disaster at the time as it wouldn't heat above 250f, but I know now why!

[@danielwillliams9669]

That was great. I was about to pitch that grill and I love my grill - almost 20 years old - I thought it was done. But, because you gave the hook up - I am hoping to get many more years out of it. I hope this works!

[@bull364]

This worked for me today! Thank you. Saved me from cleaning the grill when it's not even dirty.

[@daryllfuentes1459]

Great video! I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time and thinking I was just getting unlucky with propane tanks. I wished I watched this sooner.

[@billclark8241]

Thanks for your suggestion. I will try it and hopefully it works. Wonder why you would think to open the burner valve before ever opening the tank valve? Maybe my wife did this to cause this issue but I will try your theory. Thanks again for taking the time to record, edit and post this.

[@markberger8839]

Perfect. Wonderful. What a nice way to start my day--resetting the regulator and having my grill work again. Thank you so much.

[@Yota93-4runner]

Amazing! I was convinced I messed up assembling my grill. Turns out it was the regulator. Thank you!!

WOW! Just tried and worked the first time. Everybody turn it really slowly and it works. I'm always a skeptical person but if it works, I have to shout it out. Thank you.

Thank you Sir! Had this problem after 5 years of having my grill. The first time and could not figure it out until I came to KZbin!

[@melternes3678]

Wow! I was ready to beat this thing with a hammer. I changed the internal parts got a new regulator and it’s still kept doing the same thing and now I figured it out. Thanks to you.

[@jeffkelly636]

I'm glad I found this video. I had disassembled and meticulously cleaned the inside, grill, burner holes, burner shields and it only went up to 225 F. Going to try this next, I think this is the reason because I was getting the same size blue flame on all burners, but only 225F. Thanks!

[@colbynazarchyk5689]

Thank god a video that actually works, been an unfortunate month of all tutorials not working for me but hell yeah you saved me 😂☝🏽

[@tanishaw8628]

I had this issue the last time I used my grill a few months ago..It took me FOREVER to cook just a few hamburgers and hotdogs...I've been googling and searching KZbin to figure out what's wrong or how to troubleshoot it. I purchased new burners on amazon (haven't installed them yet). The grill is about 4 years old but barely used..I thought it was broken or clogged or whatever. I'm going to try this today. Thank you!!!!!

[@ugomarsolais]

I can't believe it was something so simple!! Thanks bro!

[@StephanieM67]

This was soooooo helpful.... I had a feeling something was wrong with the flow of propane, but haven't been able to identify what that problem was exactly (my issue is that I am not seeing any active flame coming from the venturi pipes [if that is the right term] but definitely getrinf plenty of heat when turning on the BBQ? The pipes are clean, and all holes clear of any old food debris? Anyways ... I am hopeful you you have solved it for me! And ...if nothing else, I am now aware of the proper steps in turning on my BBQ safely and effectively without triggering that safety feature! Thank you sooooo much...this was a fantastic video!! 😊

[@brettwbaxtersr61]

I did not believe there was a fix, but sure as heck. IT WORKED! Thank you

[@christined.3728]

I'll be trying this fix tomorrow night, just put a new tank on this evening and the flames were all very low so I think this may be the fix. Thanks in advance!

[@MattMendians]

I was out of town and hadn’t used my grill in a while. It does need to be cleaned but I’m having this problem right now as I’m cooking pork chops. I will try this tomorrow. I also noticed that I turned on the gas and it didn’t work. I turned off so I thought and it lights. I always turn my grill off so somethings strange. Maybe I didn’t turn off and this has happened but my gauge doesn’t change wether it’s one or off! Thanks for video!

[@123isaacg]

Never knew this was a thing! I’m cooking on my blackstone griddle @11:30pm for me and my girlfriend and I put on a brand new tank and thought I was losing my mind. Fixed it and now I’m back to chefin it up

[@gjohnson81z]

Saved me $600 thank you. Was about to put mine up for free and Facebook market place and go buy another 6 burner. My friend told me to KZbin "Propane slow burner". Did these steps and it lite up like it was brand new. TYTYTY.

[@jjaylad]

Me fadder loves ya, Me mudder loves ya, and I loves ya! My propane firepit was generating only a low flame. I had shut it off at the tank and had not shut off the burner valve. We spent a whole evening enjoying what was about 1/5th of the flame we should have had. I just went out and tried your fix and it worked perfectly. Note to self: Turn off the burner valve after using any gas device!!

[@-C.C]

I wished I watched this before rebuilding my grill- cause the same sh1t that plagued me before the rebuild happened after the rebuild- until I watched this. You are my hero right now.

[@kungfumachinist]

You earned a thumb's up, that did the trick! I have another problem, though. I have replaced the burners in my grill. When the grill is on low, it seems to be fine. But as I turn it up, the force of the gas coming out seems to "blow out" the flame. Not on all holes, mostly on one side. I can see the flame root move away from the hole and then it goes out. Any fixes for that?

[@1moreford]

Adjust your air/gas ratio. Lower the amount of air. Too little air makes orange flames and too much blows out the flames.

[@Mrtumu10]
