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 charbroil would. It wouldn't heat over 350. Even after I cleaned the tubes. So after a bunch of stuff listed below:
Replaced 3 new burner tubes and cross bar, bought new regulator, using new full tank of propane, and took apart manifold to insure no blockages were present, adjusted flames on burner tubes to blue, with just a tip of yellow on the ends.
Now, It registers 400 on the hood temp gage, so I bought an oven temp gage and placed it inside on the grates and it shows that it heats to 450 after about 15 min of run time.
Question to the experts, is this normal?
If not, what else could be preventing it from heating higher?
Anyone with one of these grills? what temp does yours get to with all 3 burners on high and the hood closed?
Thanks,
