OK, this seems to be the best forum to post this in, so here goes.

This is our first winter with the new grill and tonight it would barely start if I only turn on and light 1 burner (out of 4). Our old, crappy little grill fired up reliably regardless of cold and we're still using that gas tank for the new grill. I tried bringing the tank in for a few hours to let it warm up and am now able to get 2 barely lit burners going, but this is obviously still woefully inadequate for cooking anything but a hotdog.

Any suggestions on how to get the grill going? And why is the new fancy-pants grill having trouble when our old, beat up Charbroil had no trouble at all in worse weather?

My steaks for the next few months are depending on your forthcoming wisdom. Please save them from the horror of oven broiling. :)

Thanks!

If anybody else comes across this issue, a friend pointed me here.

Welcome to Weber.com

I was using an older grill until this year, but the old ways don't work so well for new grills apparently.

In a nutshell, turn on the gas at the tank first. Let it pressurize for a minute, then turn on and ignite the burners.

Worked like a charm. 500 degrees and all snow melted off in under 3 minutes.

Our steaks have been saved! :D

Scratches head how else were you lighting it then, it even says in the instructions to the one we bought in the summer turn the gas on first... :rolleyes:

At least you won't be steakless though witch is always a good thing...
