Fixed! The new orifice came in, drilled them to #57, and drilled out the connector to 1/8" to insure no blockage. The result after 8 min - 15 min with the hood closed on high. 600deg. Heres the flames: Very happy with the grill and the result. With the hood closed: High tops out at 600...

Thank you for the offer anyway, my replacement manifold assembly is due in this Thursday but I just saw the new orifice I ordered are set to deliver today. They come predrilled at a #70, and from what I read on the web, the standard propane size for 3 burners 36,000 BTU should be a #57. The...

Yep, whoever converted it from NG to LP must have installed that adapter. After doing some research that's how they come and you are suppose to punch it out to 1/8" so no obstruction. So maybe and likely that was the real problem, starving fuel. So now, does anyone have a source for 3 of the...

The picture was taken after I drilled it out to a #45, before it was #57.

Here is the last part I drilled out that actually increased gas flow to the valves and then through the valves to the burner tubes. This is screwed into the manifold block and the line from the LP tank after the regulator is attached. So the flow is regulated at the tank up to the distribution...

I guess if I could find 3 orifice for the valves now, I would like to see the end effect of having those at #57 or #53 with the feeding orifice opened up to #45. Bruce, if your offer is still open, send me a PM with details for shipping and cost and I'd like to do some testing with the 310...

Well all 3 tanks were from different sources and 2 of the tanks were tested on other grills and produced 500+ heat. I took the manifold off again and removed the orifice connector going to the tank. The orifice was a #57, It was not blocked, I decided to drill it out to see what effect it...

The burners are new, Weber brand, removed from the box myself. Yes, I had adjusted the air shutters for the best flame. I readjusted all 3 to 3/16" and did a preheat cycle. After 15 minutes, hood temp gauge was 325 and internal temp gauge was at 375. Not high or dirty flames, just not very...

Thank you for the offer, I really appreciate it, but I just ordered a replacement. I will update the forum with my results as I believe this kind of troubleshooting helps others that have issues. Really cool of you to offer though and thank you again!

I agree, this simple grill has been a pain in the A$$. Hoping it will be fixed soon. I'll let everyone know. I took the manifold off last night, removed the valves, removed the fittings and tried to shake anything inside loose, nothing came out, then I took an air hose and blew it out, still...

Thanks everyone, I'll check the manifold, valves, and fittings. If i don't find anything, I'll order the manifold. Hopefully that will fix it. It's as much about be stubborn and fixing the dang thing now, as it is about getting a good deal on a used weber.

So I'm looking for a replacement manifold now. My grill is a Weber DZ 0095791 serial # 3851001, It started life as a Natural Gas Grill, It was already a propane model when I got it, so I think someone just changed the orifice and regulator. Since I've tried everything else to get this grill...

I replaced the tank again too, this one makes the 3rd full and different tanks that was tried, 3 regulators, and new hoses, complete set of new weber tubes and cross bars and using 2 different temp gauges. The orifice enlarging really had little to no impact on the heat. The flames are...

well a lot of storms this weekend but some time to mess around with the grill, checked on connections for leaks, none. replaced regulator again, no change, last resort, I enlarged the orifice from a size #53 to size #45, temp still maxes out at 450. actually only 400 with the flavor bars in...

When I replaced the regulator, I did the whole unit, It was not a weber regulator, just a generic replacement from Lowes, think it was made by Charbroil. Changing the regulator had zero effect on it. I guess my next things to do will be: 1) get some water and dish soap and look for any leaks...

the sticker says its a 42,000 BTU, so divided by 3 tubes that's 14,000 each. According to a chart I found the orifice should be a #57, which would be smaller than I have. Is it possible that liquid propane is flooding the tubes and not burning as it should? Also, without the flavor bars the...

I've put a new regulator on it already, just checked the sizes of the orifice and they were #53, or .060" which sounds about right for a lp grill. I've done the reset and still it only gets up to about 350 in fifteen minutes and then to about 450 in 30 minutes. Anybody else got any ideas about...

The model number on the grill designates it is an NG, Is it even possible that the previous owner connected an LP line to the manifold without changing anything else and this would cause that? I am using propane LP gas.

Ok, so I picked up this GENESIS E-320 NG gas grill from a friend of mine. My first weber, I've always just used whatever was cheap and on sale in the past and decided to give this one a shot. I got it home, cleaned it up and tried to burn it off up around 500-600 for a few minutes like my old...
