There is a check valve in the hose that goes from the 20 lb tank to the Q that may need to be reset in order to allow full gas flow. To reset, close tank valve, open grill valve for a minute. Then, close grill valve and SLOWLY open tank valve. Let set for 5 minutes before attempting to light.

Brass brushes may contain lead Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Lead, however, is commonly added. I tested several bbq brushes a few years ago and was dismayed to find lead in them.

PS RE Orifice Mod SAFETY CONCERNS AND WARNINGS I do not recommend modding the orifice - I provided the notes merely as an academic exercise. Increasing the gas flow and heat output could result in overheating and damage to the grill. It could create an unsafe condition in, or near, the...

Dear Pat, Thank you too for weighing in on the Q300! I have passed Phil and your recommendations on to her, and I think she is now looking around to get a good price on a Q300 / 320. On Long Island they are hard to find, except of course by mail order. As for the burner orifice, yes, if you...
