Weber Q 1200 /Q 2200 gas flow issues and solutions 

awesome im glad I was able to help!

A nipple on the burner or the one coming out of the regulator?

I agree. i love these grills. I now have 3 of them and one being electric. If you have issues with them, this video should help! thanks for watching

I purchased the "Q cleaning kit" from the Weber site and brought my grill back to looking new. I don't always clean it thoroughly after every use but after 30 mins with the kit, it was spotless. Again, thanks for all your input with these grills.

Im glad I was able to help! Its an easy fix but its frustrating when it happens and you don't know why!

Ugh. Lucky! My grill is driving me crazy! I might have a bad regulator I need to replace.

@@Tovenaar13 I did this also with a brand new one and it does not work at all. No smell of gas at all here.

@@servispg I replaced my regulator. $60 part from Weber. That was totally the issue! So much fire comes out now I can't believe it! LOL

Amazon sent me a new one and I just replace the bottom of the grill and now all is working. Amazon took only a couple of days to send the replacement.

​@servispg what was the part number for Amazon my regulator is bad

Mine is only three months old and wasn’t lighting on the right side. This video fixed it!

Steven Sanders - it’s a protection feature that’s built in not a fault

Yeah bro same, that regulator reset saved my Sunday!!

Byron Gass really, it works just like that?

Mine only goes to 250°F now, so I guess it’s plugged with fat. Will clean in the weekend and hopefully will be able to reach 400°F

@@rogermty1971 update?

@@ultimatemetalguitartones I drilled with the smallest bit I could get -1/16- at the end of the regulator assembly, there is a small orifice that was clogged up with grease. It was way too big! Now there is a huge yellow flame, but, I can regulate it with the knob. It is not perfect, because you can put way too much heat, but at least now I can control it. I should order another regulator assembly and drill it with something smaller than a 1/16 bit, if I can find it.

@@rogermty1971 thx a lot!

Do get blue flame out of the little holes in the burner tube? This is the key as a blue flame is a lot hotter than a yellow or orange flame. Be safe and happy cooking.

I agree. I figured i would save people the headache of trying to find a fix to these problems. These are amazing grills and like anything else, they have issues from time to time. Thanks for watching.

The regulators are $48.99 new with a 1yr warranty. I just talked to Weber, mine failed 1 wk before warranty expiration...they are sending one FREE replacement!

@jimhohl9003 when I bought mine from Weber it was $70 dollars after warranty.

Awesome I'm glad it worked! Weber grills are awesome and made to last!

@@tonybuddy123 parts are also readily available for the Q series.

It use to bother me when I first started making videos but not anymore. I know my camera work sucks but the content is solid. Thanks for watching!

Im not sure since I haven't tried it but I dont see why not. I get great results from a garden hose so I haven't bothered to try any other methods

Also if you use water you can physically see which holes are plugged since water wouldn’t be coming out of it. You wouldn’t be able to visually see clogged holes with an air compressor.

tonybuddy123 That makes sense. Thanks!

Awesome Im glad to hear!

thats awesome man, glad it helped. If you have any other questions or issues, let me know and i might be able to help.

Any way to clean the req or is a replacement necessary? Thanks

Awesome Im glad you found some use out of it!

To be honest i am not sure but Ill fire them up this weekend and measure the temps with and without grill grates.

I look forward to your video. Thanks!

Didn't have time to test the grill grates but i did film how hot they get.

Thank you for your comment. These little grills are amazing. I am still debating on whether i should pick up the electric version of this grill (weber Q 1400/2400). I would like to see how they compare when it comes to cooking and temps between electric and propane.

tonybuddy123 yeah. My research says that the electrics are good but you can't open up the lid as much to check on the meat because they will lose half thier heat each time you open the lid and they do not come with a version that has a temperature gauge on it. And it works better if the meat started cooking at room temperature. The Weber versions works better then other models. They are a lot more expensive though. Debating because the propane version cooks faster but the electric ones saves on purchasing propanes and don't have to worry about running out of propane while cooking. Thinking about it because wanting to cook on my balcony in the summer time so that I don't over heat the apartment in the summer time.

I do almost all of my cooking outdoors for that same reason you mentioned in your comment. I have yet to come across something i am not able to cook with one of my grills i own. I Purchased a brand new weber Q140 today on craigslist. Its the old model but there isn't much difference between the new and old model besides some minor cosmetic ones and the grates. I am going to make a video comparing the cook times between electric and propane. I am excited to see if there is a difference in performance. I should have that video done in the next week or so.

tonybuddy123 yeah I have seen a youtube video of a guy bbqing a roast of lamb, pork roast and a beef roast. (all different videos) they had it on a rack that is sold separately from the weber but it was made for the weber. There was another one whom roasted a red, green and yellew peppers on the weber, another that sliced a zuchinni in slices and grilled that to go with his steaks. (this last one was done on an electric). Been learning lots. I am saving money to getting one A weber. I did my research and I liked it. A lot of bbq come with grills that are not cast iron while the weber has and it is good priced.

idk i guess it would depend on where you get it from. probably around 40-50 bucks. Ive never had to replace one since Ive always been able to fix it with the steps in the video

I've had my Q for quite a few years now so its an earlier model and early on my assembly that holds the tank and regulator broke. I called webber and they sent me out a new one asap free of charge. I dont know for sure but it may have been a design flaw that they were rectifying but it was sure nice to get fast free service. I found this video serching for a low flame solution with a standard 1lb bottle. I'm gonna give your fix a whirl. Thanks for a very nice video.

Don't buy anything from Amazon. Bezos is a vile evil creature. Working for Amazon is as close you can get to a 3rd world forced labour camp.

I use mine with a 20lb tank!

i run mine off a tank, but you will need to take the regulator off if the hose comes with one. spray soapy water on the connections to find a leak.

Tyler Latta thank you!

Russ thank you for your information! Appreciated!

yes I did. The one in this video was chipped when I pulled it out of the box and weber sent me a new lid so I decided to spray paint it to see how it would hold up and so far so good.

I haven't had much issues or concern with the bottles being near the heat since propane bottle gets pretty cold when using it.

You can pick up an adapter hose to use 5, 20, whatever size tank you want. I use mine on a 20# up here in the frozen north in Canada.

Im glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

I find that a 1lb bottle runs about 2-2.5 hours on medium on the Q2000/2200.

@@ChicagoGriller Thank you for the answer!

Q1200 хватает одного баллона на две полноценные жарки (каждые примерно по 1.5 часа (огонь - умеренный/максимальный)

you welcome. Thanks for watching

Im glad you were able to figure that out! These little grills are bullet proof and only minor things need adjusting or fixing when things go wrong!

I have a Weber spirit propane grill. The flame is too high and can't reduce it. I replaced the burners inside the grill and no help. Any ideas?

He means motorhome, I think. I connected one to my camp trailer before, and it was a simple plumbing job to take apart a fitting and put together what I needed to end up with a hose coming off the tank. On my motorhome, I wouldn't consider it worth the risk, because I'd be plumbing in a possible leak under the motorhome. On my trailer, the possible leak would have been out on the tongue, and therefore a small leak couldn't have ended up filling some compartment in my living space and blowing up or gassing me in my sleep. You would be using the regulator on your barbecue, and the pressure in the motor home tank will be about what you get with any large propane cylinder.

I think it would depend if your Motorhome has a quick connect fitting off the side. My family has one where your able to connect other propane devices via quick connect and we ended up doing this with the weber Q. You will just need to make sure you take the regulator off the weber Q

Its Flo Gas i use in my Motorhome for cooking

im not sure since Ive never heard of it.

Awesome! Im glad your up and running!

thanks!
