Gas Grill Burner Flames Blowing Out Or Looking Yellow and Wavy? 

Thank you so much. We thought ours was broken for the longest time

Wow, I had NO idea about this!!! I really wish I had learned better grill care growing up. Thank you !!👍😉

Thank you so much, this was the exact fix for replacement Weber Spirit burner tube set. I had no idea and just installed them but apparently they ship with this part in mostly closed position letting very little air in.

Thanks. A few years ago I decided to replace the burners, flavor bars and ignitor on my 2005 Genesis Silver C Weber Grill. That was a real bad boy grill at the time. Anyways I could tell the grill didnt cook as well after that. It was like the power was in the back and the middle and front burners were just okay. I didnt realize that maybe I needed to adjust the air flow vents to set the burners to that even blue flame. This video proves that yes one should look at the flames after install and adjust accordingly, I figure if I'm going to do the work to get at the ends of the tubes and it takes a little doing, might as well just get new burners for 28 bucks from Amazon and replace the ignitor as well. At my age this will probably be the last time. PS, my grill is well cared for and looks showroom condition. I use it year round even in the dead of winter here in Minny. Thanks for the info, I'm going to try what you said to do.

Great explanation

best explanation of this venturi, and its relation to blue vs orange. for me, i'm trying to get the orange wavy on my firepit, but it's coming out like a bunsen burner like your grill! i think i need to close the valve to reduce O2 mixing too much, because i hear it hissing pretty loud.

Could also be not enough propane due to a clogged orifice. Usually on older grills. Would have to remove orifices with small wrench or socket and clean them with a fine wire and some compressed air. If the air shutters have never been messed with during grills life then they likely don't need to be. They are set at the factory. Check air shutters for debris and rust-through as well. If so then it's time for a new grill.

Great video. Can you show me where the air shutter is on a Weber traveler?

Great video!! 👍👍👍

Why would I have nice blue flames when starting the grill on HI, but after closing it and letting it warm up to over 500 degrees after a while, all four burners then have yellow flames on HI? Is it too hot in there to get enough oxygen at that point?

my grill feel over now low flame when i turn other burners on, did the reset tank start where you turn off unscrew wait then turn on slow. same ☹️ when on if i tap on burners they go high but then go back down maybe regulater bad ?

Great video! Thanks!

It's sad so many quality stainless grills get thrown away ,😢 we have to do better to recycle and repair . I just got a quality stainless grill , its like a $3000 dollar grill, I paid $40 at the scrap yard and $25 for new burners.and $12 for a full gas bottle at the local thrift store time to party like a rock star ! 😁 They should be teaching the kids in high school how to fix things instead of some crazy upper level math that only one in a hundred million will ever need ! As a kid I had to take everything thing apart to understand how it works that way I would know how to fix it.

Thank you for making videos, good job. . I hate to nit pick but it’s air, not oxygen going into the burners. Air is only 21% oxygen. The rest is nitrogen and perhaps 1% Argon. You’d have one heck of a flame if it was 100% oxygen blowing in lol!

Mine idk why needs too be fully open too burn sum what blue 😧
