I gave up on the Sam's Club Grand Hall SS grill due to constant flareup on
the ceramic tiles. Bought a new Weber Genesis Gold C. Nice grill. I'm
having some trouble getting the grill up hot enough to sear steaks. Did a
couple of 1-1/2" thick strips Saturday night and it took 30 minutes to get
to medium rare. I noticed that the flame was pretty low, so I took off the
propane bottle and inverted it. It seemed to get hotter after that. Anyone
have experience with this? I think it's the new over flow valve in the
propane bottles. Or is there a way to set up the regulator on the Weber?

Turn off all of the valves including the one at the top of the tank.
Open the valves starting with the tank and then opening the next closest
to the tank until they are all open. That should take care of the
problem. If it doesn't, call Weber. They will help you out.

I had the same problem, could only get to 250 with the lid closed.
Somewhere in your owners manual addresses this, it has to do with a
safety device I think in the tank. They give you a proceedure to fix
it. As I recall it happens if any valves are in the on position when
you open the tank valve. -RP

My gasser had the same problem until I hooked it up the main propane tank
for the house. Now the propane is delivered at a much better price than
filling up those little tanks.

The new flow valves are to prevent accidents from people doing what you just
did. The entire country has to suffer with that crap because of what a few
people have done with tanks.

When you open the valve (on the tank) do not open all the way. than turn on
control and light. The gold (actuall all the b's and c's) get VERY hot VERY
fast so either you have a bad regulteor or bad tank valve if the
instructions don't work BTW NEVER invert a propane tank!

You might have air in the tank. This can be bled by SLOWLY turning the
flat head screw near the valve counter-clockwise. Watch for a white
mist and a propane odor and close it. Be very careful and make sure
there is nothing around to ignite it! Propane will also freeze your
skin so, again, open it SLOWLY!

I turned off the gas first and disconnected it. Yea, a slug of liquid
propane would probably sear those steaks!

Keep dinking around with propane tanks rather than take them to
someone who knows what he is doing. With any luck, you'll get exactly
what you deserve.

Did you ever consider that I do know what I'm doing? I was certified to
dispense propane a few years back and nothing has changed, pro.

"Get exactly what I deserve"? Nice. I don't hope for you to drop dead
from a heat attack, fat ass, despite your behavior.

Does that make giving advice about potentially explosive, toxic and
thermic procedures to amateurs over the internet a good idea? Why not
suggest that the tank be taken to a certified propane dealer for purging?

I have the Genesis side by side with the 22" round charcoal Weber. The
propane Weber can't remotely compete with the charcoal for searing the
steak, even with the lid down, which basically roasts the steak. I use
charcoal 90% of the time and gas 10%, when I have to. I have tried
everything I can find or think of without success.

You should know, stalker. After all, you went to all the trouble to

It's called an Acceptable Use Policy, slick. You don't want complaints
sent to your ISP's abuse desk, then don't violate their AUP.

These concepts are pretty simple. Why do they have to be explained to
you?

"He e-mailed my boss to complain about me posting to Usenet."

For the second (or third) time, I did no such thing, pro. Please post a
copy of my "complaint". If you are using your state-owned computer
while you collect your state-supported salary in order to post your BS
in good conscience, then happy trails, lard ass. It seems that your
antics have created a problem for you. Live and learn - but you already
knew that, right?

Thats odd for a few reasons:
1) I thought you kfd me last year
2) You realize that you husband wasn't the butt of the joke, it is actually
supportive (a dude saying he has been making it with another guys mom is a
common cutdown)
3) Lovely mouth you have on you, I take it charm school has done you well.
Unfortunately you never realized is was a taxidermy that you were learning
instead.
