One-Year-Old Weber Gas Grill Won’t Light?
Posted by . Published on 22 March 2010, 5 Comments Received
I own an expensive Weber Gas Grill will not turn most of the time. When I get lit, the bar of the flame does not draw much, and only part of its surface. How do I restore the grid to its original functionality? Note that tank full of propane and tried to change the tanks.

Have you tried taking it apart and cleaning it? If the holes get plugged up you will not get a flame from there.

I find that I have to clean my BBQ at the beginning of every summer. I tend to find spiders, earwigs clogged in the burner intake.

Remove your grates and then your flavor bars (angled metal strips) You can then inspect your burners to see if there are any holes or rust. keep in mind that the gas holes are on the bottom.
This is a good time to remove your drip pan and to clean all the crap from your grill with a scraper and wire brush.
Before you reassemble, check your ignitor to see if it is producing a spark when you push the button. If not, you need a new igniter kit.
Weber grill parts are readily available in stores or on line. A good Weber can last for years and years if kept clean.
