Fire requires fuel & air in the correct ratios, and a spark to start. It sounds like you have the spark. Do you hear or smell gas flowing after the fire goes out? Describe the flame... Blue and healthy? Or yellow and weak? Have you tried a new propane tank? Even if it has fuel, the...

Flat side up for two reasons. First, it supports the meat better, keeping it from sinking down into the crevasses where it can stick and be difficult to turn. This is more important with softer food. Second, with the points facing down grease drips off easier. It tends to spread out on the...

That is half the fun of a field mod like yours; refining and improving it. Enjoy and keep us posted. -TH

Concur! The supermarket meat departments are deplorable; not a meatcutter in sight just clerks that put out the meat shipped in from the "central facility" wherever that is. And so much is from foreign sources it is just amazing. Until recently we had an excellent independent meat market...

I was in the Ventura, CA Target (Main Street) today and while some of the house-brand accessories were on sale, the Weber kettles were *not* marked down. They had an open-box Jumbo Joe on the shelf; it wasn't marked down but I presume it would go for a reduced price if a buyer asked about...

With the legs shortened the grill would seem to be a lot less stable... Did you notice any tippyness? Be carefull with that, especially if there are kids around. Knocking the grill over could really ruin your day. Weber dealt with that on their small grills with different leg designs; you...

I think there may be some service instructions on the Weber site... IIRC the fault is usually at the spark gap... Take a look and confirm the electrode hasn't been bent and the gap is clear of crud. Next clean both sides of the gap with alcohol. If that fails... Probably time for new...

More degreaser? Any info on the degreaser bottle/can?

Just thinking... Could you fill the underside of the sweeper with wadded-up alum foil or other non-combustible to get better sweeping action? I've never seen one apart so not sure what the underside looks like...

Why not take them to the store and see what they think about the lid-opening and mobility issues? Involving them in the decision is likely to lead to the best outcome... Just my $0.02

My mom and dad had a Broil-Mate gasser for many years -- I believe it was made by Broil-King. It gave them very good service and was a good value. My only complaint about the grill was the burner valves had a very small amount of twist between Max and Min... which made temp setting a...

Ok, now I understand. But it is hard to tell from reading this thread exactly what the grills in question look like, or what grill they fit. So maybe a better description would be helpful?

Hey Pete- That link comes up as dead for me here in the USA too. Curiously, though, the top line of the error page that displays when I click it calls it an "enclosed ash catcher" not a grate so I'm wondering if something got honked up. Have you tried aftermarket parts suppliers or Amazon...

Google is your friend for things like this... http://www.appliance411.com/faq/gas_range_flames.shtml Here is a short quote, but go to the site and go through their whole sequence. ------------------ Flame is yellow and/or causing sooting on cooking utensils. Possible Cause...

I would buy one in a New York minute if I could find them at that price... Buy two and enjoy one for me!

Reviews on Amazon are mixed; several complain about poor range, others do not. -Tom in SoCal

Hi Shaun- Sorry I can't help you with the details since I don't own those items, but I thought I might make a couple suggestions. First, if you CALL Weber customer support they may be able to give you exact griddle dimensions. If you email they will probably just give you the numbers off of...

Thanks to all for your thoughts -- this is exactly the kind of info I was hoping for. Very helpful! -Tom in SoCal

Interesting... I've never been to a BBQ competition and this is doable for me in a day, albeit a long day (I'm in Ventura). Have to put this on the calendar and see what salutes... -Tom in Ventura

Does that scale work well enough to replace the decal? My experience with scale/pointer devices is they don't work very well, at least the one on my Spirit 310 doesn't. So... consider buying a pressure gage for the tank and leaving the pointer and decal off... My $0.02
