How do I keep this grill lit. We were in our slip with a very light breeze and I had to re-light at least 10 times before I gave up and went below.

I had the same issue but I had to adjust the external air baffle and now it works great. The external air baffle is right under the regulator.

None at all I'm very pleased with this grill. I don't keep it outside, after I grill I always wheel it back into the garage. It's very sturdy and love the option of propane and coal. Hope this helps.

When grill is cold, and wind free remove grates and burner covers. Light grill. If the flame on low setting drifts or hops above the burners, and is noisy it sounds like you are getting too much air. if it just goes on and off in parts, the problem may be gas flow. If you adjust it, remember to final check it on low, med and high settings for best general flame to make sure no yellow flame is present

I don't own this item anymore but I had the same problem with mine. It would eventually light. Try turning it on and shutting your propane tank off. When you turn the tank back on open the valve slowly. Wait a minute or so and then try lighting it again. Mine worked great when it was lit.

You didn't buy it from me, but perhaps on my recommendation. My igniter has been fine, but if you look at others reviews suggest many have igniter issues like yours. Just like them, you can use a lighter, following the manufacturer's instructions.

yes, very easy. 1) turn on, 2)place lighter on top grill. this will ignite it and if it is too bright out, you can feel the heat if you do not see the glow. hope this helps.

you have to keep turning it, which works best if you have a long grill burner. But I usually make my paellas outside on the charcoal grill, where I can make a fire to fit the pan. With a little practice, that works excellently

I have not had any problem keeping it lit. You do have to turn it up pretty high. I have found that I have to try the ignitor several times before it lites.

Mine was near the house so it blocked the wind. You could put a metal box with a hole for fumes around the top to see if that helped it stay lit.

You are running it a bit too low....try a little higher setting until it stays lit The temp control is not an exact science...there is a thermal senser ( safety device ) that extends into the flame, it will shut the gas off if it does not sense enough heat....so if you run at too low a setting the flame is not hot enough and the senser shuts off the gas...pain in the ........but it works.

Mine works fine on low your grill might be catching wind from the back if it is windy that happens to me also

Unfortunately I don't have a good solution. My fire pit came with a defective igniter and so I resorted to using a $1.00 Walmart igniter. I hold the switch in for about 20 seconds and the burner stays lite.

I have the same device. Of course I didn't realize that it was for meat temp., not grill temp, so when it went over what you'd ever want for meat... well same problem. However, I noticed the problem right away and it was just fine next time I used it. If you didn't see it right when it happened, but let it get even higher you might have burned something out. Not much help, sorry and good luck.

Keep bottom Vents open and dont close top untill temp gets where you want. Remember the more air flow the hotter the coals.

It's the regulator. I had the same issue. The flame will get lower and lower until it goes out completely. When you install the new regulator, be sure to remove the burner and clean it. I used soap water and wire brush, then I used safety pin and poked every holes on the burner to clear the rust and grease. Now, it's like a brand new grill.

I've used nothing but canola oil to get the grill seasoned. Get it screaming hot, cover down, anything on the grate from last use will pretty much be ash & easily scraped with the triangular cleaning tool. Use a small hand whisk brush to get rid of the ash. Another spray with canola oil & get'r hot again. IT WILL SMOKE. Nature of the beast. Spray burgers lightly with canola before placing on the smoking hot grate. I use nothing more than 90/10 mix. Too much fat means more flame up. I'll leave 'em on a couple minutes or less, give 'em a quarter turn, same with other side, then finish up with lowered heat until desired done. I do pretty much the same with steaks, chops, & fish. A light spray with the oil before slapping on the grill, prevents sticking & helps keep any seasonings where they should be, on the meat. For chicken, I've added 4 - 1/4" eye bolts to an old grill that raises the meat an 1-1/2" or so to slow grill the meat. I've found a basket type flat grill at Safeway I place on top of the grate when grilling fish, shrimp, veggies and sliced fruit. Again, I'll lightly spray it and the food before grilling. You're always gonna get some Smoke, but after the initial searing, turning the gas down & watching placement of your meat on the grill should keep the smoking manageable. Doug

Suprised it was damaged!! Mine was packed like a very well! As for the temp? I had that problem yesterday. Smoked a pork roast. Fired up just fine and was running too hot 250! Had both burners on low and both dampers open all the way. So, I turned the valve back on the propane tank. Next think I know the temp is at 150 and when I turn it up the temp will not increase. I shut everything down. Opened the valve on the propane tank all the way and restarted it. Worked fine after that. The propane regulators are very cheap now days and seem to have some issues. I have only used it 3 times and here are some suggestions. Keep what you are smoking if it is a small amount at the same level as the temp gauge. Only use 1 burner at a time. Why? When the 1st one burns out of wood chips you start the other. Then you can change out the chips and it is not hot. Wrap the pans in tin foil! They stay nice and it is an easy clean up when you are done. I am also looking into getting a very thin fire proof seal for the door. It is metal against metal and leaks some smoke. May not be worth the cost but a thought. Also..Make sure you burn it off!! Do it slow and work the vents and the doors as it heats up! They will stick! Hope this helps! Going to do a big turkey this weekend?! Yikes!!!
