Thanks George for the suggesting that the regulator may be at fault.
I contacted Weber Customer Service..... Long story short, the second person I spoke with immediately suggested sending me a new regulator to try and that the grill will sear meats just as the older version did, etc.
I'll...
The flame is blue in color but very short out of the tube......... Without the SS in place, I could keep my hand at grill level for awhile.... With the SS in place, I can hardly feel any heat at all coming from the slots cut into the SS bar. The SS bar itself got hot enough to sizzle...
Thanks for the suggestion.
I use the smaller propane tanks associated with the portability of the grill. Hence, no regulator.
Perhaps the step where the person "turns on the LP tank" is where I would attach the small propane tank....... after the knob is turned to the OFF position.
Hi Folks,
I've been away for a month or two...... Recently, I tried out my newly purchased WGA Gas Grill retrofitted with the old style metal grill grate (standard issue pre-porcelain) and the SS Flavorizer Bar purchased via the internet.
Upon use, I noticed that I was not getting much heat...
Thanks.
I enjoy this forum since discovering it a little while ago. It is fun to restore my old charcoal WGA and 'rebuild' the new version of the WGA gas grill. I do own other Weber BBQs, including the Q gas grill, but I am more fond of the simple WGA grills. They are simple, lightweight...
I'll need to follow up with a photo or two of my current chrome plated grill on my WGA charcoal grill.
Do the chrome grill grates become hazardous over time and leach unwanted particles into the food? I used a course wire brush that is used in a power drill to strip off and clean the grill...
Anybody know of a Thin Stainless Steel grill grate for the WGA. 10" x 16" thin SS grill grate? I just prefer the thin grill grate and to have it in SS would be awesome!
Thanks everyone.
I order the SS Flavor Plate. I'm researching the grill part now. I see the Craycort cast iron grates on their website. I noticed that the current version has a solid piece down the middle of the grill...... I think it is to protect the gas burner, but I prefer not to have...
Thank you for doing the field test...... After reading your initial reply, I was preparing to purchase the new WGA gas grill, then purchase the after-market parts to test myself.
This could get to be a little fun after all. After I build the 'new' WGA, I will report what kind of heat is...
Greetings. I have been researching and reading quite a bit of information regarding the Pre 2013 WGA Gas Grill since I used to own a late 90's version with the wooded handles, etc. It was my favorite gas grill for a majority of my road trips. Long story as to why I don't own it anymore...
