Well there seems to be a problem with the gasser. I noticed I am getting an orange flame instead of a blue one with yellow tips. What to do?
I got this information after doing some research.
This is what I found……………………………
Regulators seem to be stickier these days and when they stick you don’t get enough gas to generate a good grilling temperature.
To get your regulator unstuck you need to release the pressure on it.
Here’s how…….
-
Turn off the gas at the propane tank
-
Disconnect the gas line from the tank
-
Open the grill lid
-
Turn all control valves to high
-
Wait for about a minute
-
Turn all control valves to off
-
Reconnect the gas line to the tank
-
SLOWLY turn on the gas at the tank
-
Light the grill normally
Your grill should now heat normally
To keep it from sticking again make sure that you turn off the control valves first, then turn off the tank valve. Always open your tank valve slowly.
If this doesn’t work give it a second try. If you still have low flame then you probably have a faulty regulator that will need to be replaced.
Always use common sense when doing this type of work. If you’re thinking to yourself ”What do you mean?” , then it’s better that you don’t tackle this one…
Let someone else do it OK?…………..
We at THE BIG IRON believe you should enjoy food…..not wear it while flying through the air.
I replace a lot of regulators in the Boston MA area, low flame is one of the top ten problems customers call me on. I can unstick the regulator but then I’ll get a “calling me back call” to re-fix the regulator. So I replace them.
I also use a manometer to help locate the low gas pressure output problem.
2nd cause could be a clogged valve orifice or venturi tube.
