    Grill issue

    I have a Char-Broil infrared 4 burner grill. I have had it for 3 years. Recently I turned the grill on and it takes a very long time to bring it to temp. I noticed that the burners when on high are putting out very little flame.

    I have changed out the regulator which did not help and also changed out the bottle. Nothing so far has helped. Any suggestions?

    Have you checked the hose? I may have collapsed.
    have you cleaned the burner orifice could be partly plugged.

    I have cleaned it real good. Nothing is plugged there. As far as the hose, everything that is a hose from the bottle to the grill looks good

    Gas grills do not last long before some sort of problem surfaces if you use them often...Buy a BGE and it will be your last grill ever...

    Are you opening the cylinder valve slowly?

    Good advice above. Next cheapest, easiest thing to do is replace the hose. Next would be replace the burner assembly. If that doesn’t work, replace the grill. Same reason I got rid of my CharBroil years ago and went with a Weber. I was constantly having pressure issues after a few years. I got tired of trying to diagnose it. And +2 on the BGE.
