Why does it have a hole in the end of burner which connects to the regulator - Looks like propane will escape thru that hole.

Th hole acts as a ventury to mix air with the propane. It won't leak out do to the gas is under pressure. The draw of the pressured gas literally pulls the air in to make a combustible mixture in the grill.

I'm not sure why that hole is there, but the propane does not leak through that hole.

I too just got back from a camping trip and everything worked like a charm. Both burners operated without any missteps. All I can surmise is perhaps a connection may have jiggled loose during shipping. Try opening up the top and looking at the connections under the burner plate. I would further check the burners in an opposite direction...try lighting the burner that did not light first and see what happens. I'm glad mine worked ok while I was out camping, because it is truly a heavy duty piece of camping equipment that will last for years.

You drill the hole to run the burner through, there is a 3-4 " long threaded tube welded to the burner bottom which feeds the gas to the round burners. this allows you to adjust the height of the burner. The burner stem will fill the hole so no rocks get out. I used one of these a month ago and it was really easy to assemble. I had a round dished bowl so the adjustment was nice to have. They do give all the parts and is quick to assemble.

Jerry, I teed from the tank and ran a separate line to the shop then placed another regulatorwhere I entered the shop, the reason I did this was so when my other furnace and hot waterheater kicked in the pressure would not be too low, I maybe wrong but error on safety first.Your Propane supplier should be able to answer this question correctly .

This is normal for any gas appliance that is pulling off a rail with one regulator. If the flow becomes so low that the first burner goes out completely, then you have two problems: 1. a defective gas regulator on the end of the hose; 2. or the orifice for the second burner is larger than the first one and is pulling more gas than required. I would talk to a local propane dealer technician if it concerns you.

There is a regulator on the unit. I called up Atwood to ask if something addt'l was needed & they said no. My motor home has a regulator on its propane system as well.

Is it possible that you have a regulator on the tank and at the grill? If so remove one. Never alter gas fittings, they are made that way for a reason.

The hole is there to let some steam escape. It is a precaution to keep you from getting a steam burn when you take the lid off.

This has happened to me also. The adapter hose you have is clogged. It may have received some dirt before/during assembly or your 20 lb gas tank has dirty gas. The hose will slowly fill allowing just enough gas to start, then it goes out. You have two options: 1) Find a propane dealer that can blow out the hose adapter for you: or 2) Buy a new hose from a sporting goods store or Wal-Mart. I took option 2.

The material in the pit is not evenly distributed that causes the propane to easily come out in the holes that are not evenly covered.

Dawn, what type of handle problem are you asking about. I have used my set on gas, and propane and I am thinking I might have even took it camping once. They are the best thing I have ever cooked in and when I take the time to really clean them all over they look brand new. As far as the handles are considered, I have never had a problem, but I have seen some replacement handles on Ebay. Let me know if this covers it. Happy New Year

I'm installing mine in a vintage camper which has hood above it that vents outside. That said, the source the propane tank should be either outside or in a sealed compartment vented to the outdoors. The only propane connection should be at the stove itself all the other connections (regulator, solenoid, etc) should be made in the enclosure or outside.

I have not encountered this issue with my grill, however this sounds like a faulty tank or a bad regulator. In my past I have seen tanks do this. I suggest trying a different tank and see if that works.

The big knob looking thing in the picture on the right is the part that screws into the tank to direct the propane. On the bottom left you see a 90 degree angle piece of metal, this is a threaded bolt that tightens to the protective ring around the top of the cylinder via a small slit cut into the bottom of the upright.

I had a possibly related problem. My grill was doing the same thing and it turned out that the POS home depot adapter hose (the one that lets you connect the babyQ to a normal size propane tank) had worn out on the tank side and was not fully opening the valve. Eventually it broke completely and that is the only reason I figured out what was wrong.
