Your grill is designed to reach a temperature that you set by adjusting a valve that in turns adjusts the
amount of gas that goes through each burner. This Valve is located behind your knob and is the key to your
heat and fuel consumption. An example being: Cooking on low will give you longer use out of a 20lb LP
tank than will cooking on high every single time.
Furthermore, the way to ignite the burners is through the valves, so please understand the importance of
this piece and the position/care taken to the knobs.
•
Example: If you forget to turn a knob off and the burner is not lit, then you will have a gas leak out of
that valve. You must be aware of your grills status and be responsible!
Burner Configuration and Heat Dispersion:
If you look under the very front of your cooking grates, you will realize that for the first few inches, the burner
does not release any gas. This is designed to be the medium heat portion of your grill for several reasons.
•
One being that the flavorizers ensure even heat dispersion laterally across your grills cooking
surface, so the front is designed to be your medium heat section, while you can utilize the middle of
your cooking grates to get a good high heat (do not forget that this all depends on how high you have
your valves turned as well).
•
As you move towards the back of your grill and past the middle section, you will realize that this is the
hottest portion of your grill, for several reasons.
o
First the grills hood and rear panel does not have the same amount of fresh air moving
across the rear of the cooking grate, as the front of the cooking grate does. Every time you
open the hood, the front will cool, while the back retains the majority of the heat.
o
Underneath, where the burner is attached to the back of the body, you will see that there is a
“crossover” in between each burner. This crossover, sends gas from one burner to the next
(as long as the valves are open), to ensure that all of your burners will light in case your
igniters fail.
For example, if you can only get one burner to light, you just need to keep the hood
open and turn on the valve next to it, to the high position. Gas will then travel through
the new/open burner and will catch the flame from the initial burner.
Burner Use – Indirect and Direct
As you can imagine, by controlling how much gas flows through your burner; determines the size of your
flame. The ideal flame will be blue, with no yellow tip, or excessive noise coming out of the burner.
If you happen to have any of these problems:
•
You will want to check the air adjustment screw on the side of the burner itself (called the Air
Venturi) and also the adjustment screw that resides directly below the orifice to ensure proper gas
flow into the burner from the valve
