Bought this grill from a competitor & my propane tank sits on the ground. From the pic here it looks like there should be something that holds it up?

It sits on a tray under the grill. It also has a hangar for the tank and an indicator of how much propane is left in the tank.

The propane tank should hang from a "scale" on the right side that shows how full the tank is. Check out the manual, it will show the mechanism.

no it actually hangs off a type of tank fill guage. this is the first thing that never works on any grill, however.

It hangs from a hook on the right. Difficult to engage when tank is full, but easier when tank is partially used. Amount of gas remaining is indicated by red markings. A useful feature.

You pull on the sides & the grill tilts so all the greese runs to the drip pan. I think mine might have a loose screw because it wants to tilt on it's own.

Hi Running Gal,The only thing that secures the grill to the cart is a Velcro strap. It's just to keep it in place when rolling the cart around. I don't think that's the answer you were hopeful for. If you have issues with safety the grill will likely be a target. Good luck! John

Standard propane tank sits upright (like any grill). Don't think larger is an option unless you assemble without the tank guards. Standard tank is lasting for long time with regular use.

Hi, thank you for your patience - had to wait for my husband to return home to ask him!! He says it is a bit tricky to line up with the coupler on the grill tank (which is what he uses, too), but it turns counter-clockwise when aligned properly. Hopefully this will solve your problem. Let me know if you have any other concerns, he has used his quite a bit and might be able to give you some tips. Good luck!

The gas connect is inside but the propane tank would be outside. You can find the manual via using google to see how it connects.

do what joseph said, bleed it out and then reattach it, BUT make sure the grill is off and when you turn on the propane at the tank let it sit for a solid couple minutes for the pressure to equalize properly or when you turn on the grill you wont have proper flow

You have to file down the top of the brass fitting, which goes into your grill. It is too long/tall and won't allow the pin to engage, thus allowing the propane to flow. I went to Sears bought a cheap file and filed down the part right in front of the brass threads. It has a beveled edge, you just have to file down the depth till the bevel is gone about 2 to 3 mm and then clean up any burs.

You will need to get a low pressure regulator. Connect the regulator to the tank and theother end to the grill.You can buy the low pressure regulator right here on Amazon.

I had the same problem because the metal disk on the right side of the grilling rack. It has little bumps on it that are supposed to fit into matching indentations in the side of the grill itself. There is a spot to hold it flat, and another spot to hold it slightly tilted. On mine, the metal disc was bent so the bumps didn't fully engage the indents. I tried to straighten it out myself, but couldn't. Contacted MECO, and after seeing pictures & my description of the problem sent me a whole new handle/heating element/grill rack piece. Once I replaced it, everything worked as it should. Of course there is also the possibility you installed it in the wrong hole on the left side of the grill, and it won't work. Apparently this is very common, since their customer service was pretty sure that was the problem until I sent them pictures showing it was installed correctly.

if you use the disposable bottles, they screw in on the right side of the grill behind the dial knob. If you buy the hose like I did and use a five gallon propane tank, tank sits on the ground below the grill.

I have used my grill all summer and have not had any problems with the propane tank. It does not protrude out from the pipe frame that surrounds the grill and it is located behind the digital timer. Perhaps because the tank used is long and slender and seems to hang freely, it might appear to be more fragile than it actually is. As with any item owned, I guess that if it were to be struck hard enough, damage could occur. I do not think that a support for the tank would be practical because you need to have the leverage to install and remove it. Under normal usage, I do not think that there should be any worry about having problems with the tank. I have used my grill all summer and have not had any problems with the propane tank.

Hi, Here's an easy fix to keep your drip pan on: Take the screws out of the bottom of the grill feet. Attach the grill brackets to the feet and use 2" screws to secure. By keeping the feet on, you can keep your drip pan. Thank you! Extreme Marine Products

Hi Howard, the grill came with a tool (piece of stainless steel)to clean the tube where the gas passes from the propane to the burner area , just pass it through couple a times it should clean it up .good luck and you can also call Weber customer service.

There is a built in magnet on the base floor inside the front. The part where your gas tank sits into... it is either missing or your base could be backward?

I understand that is new but I am still of the opinion that either the burner holes are clogged by some debris or the propane gas valve is not fully opened so not enough pressure reaches the rear side of the burner - you have only one ignition system and that means that either it ignites or it does not, and in your case, it does, so to me it looks like the fuel doesn't make it all the way - I'm not an engineer but have been struggling with this very pretty grill for years; I buy and change the burner every year ($49)! ... I also have a full size propane can and purchased a full size hose adaptor and connector (approx. $14)... Good luck!

mine was double packaged when I received it (which I was worried after reading some of the reviews that it might be damaged) and it was in perfect condition. I changed out the regulator and installed my own (a needle valve and a small on/off valve) to solve this problem which is very common it seems on a lot of grills like this.
