The Weber Q grills are great but some have issues with propane from time to time. Ill show you some quick and easy fixes for these issues
This was exactly what I needed to troubleshoot the propane flow issues. The part about resetting the regulator was CLUTCH. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this.
Yeah bro same, that regulator reset saved my Sunday!!
You are a GENIUS, Thank You! Our grill has been out of action for a while but after following your advice it is now back in action : )
Thanks for the video, my weber was just about to get thrown over the fence 😉
The regulator issue solved it big time. Lil Q grill is SIZZLIN HOT NOW! Thank you for the advice
Thanks for the tips! After reviving my Q from storage I was having issues with uneven or blocked flames and this helped!
This videos totally saved my Labor Day weekend!! Thanks!!!
This worked perfectly! The q1000 and q1200 both have regulator issues and instantly thought I had to replace it before I saw this video. It’s not a lot work, just takes some elbow grease!
Great video, love the way you explain everything step by step and easy to understand. Thanks!
The first step of relieving the pressure from the regulator just fixed my problem thanks man
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
Thank you. I've had my Q220 since 2007 and it has always worked great. But I have recently been having trouble getting the grill heated over 350*. So I will try this fix. That was very helpful. ☺
Thank you for the video. As a new owner of a used Q, I need to bookmark this for future reference.
Thank you for the video. It helps to see it done and where to start. Again, Thanks!
I have a different type of Weber, and I tried what you first said about the pressure, and it worked! Thank you! You saved me from buying a new grill!
Awesome I'm glad it worked! Weber grills are awesome and made to last!
@@tonybuddy123 parts are also readily available for the Q series.
Nice clear instructions. My Weber Q now works!
Thanks, great, easy to follow tutorial. Our weber grills again!
Thanks, I’m dealing with this issue so now I know how to take it apart.
Great video. Nice to have these maintenance/troubleshooting tips.
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.
Thank you! Will try your tips and pray it works!
Thanks. pretty thorough. Wasn’t enough for mine. While I had it discombobulated I open the valve under pressure and it dribble/ spurted oil from the regulator. I suspect the regulator is plugged with condensed oil from years of killer meals. Great of you to publish video. Thanks again.
Any way to clean the req or is a replacement necessary? Thanks
Wow, Hey we really APPRECIATE you taking the time to make this video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!🥰🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the vid, just what I was looking for bro.
Thanks for the video. Just what I needed!
Thanks bro this just fixed my gas issues well done sir
Thanks. Useful in my grill troubleshooting.
Nice one mate - worked a treat.
Thanks! your video helped resolve an issue I had with my burner
Im glad I was able to help! Its an easy fix but its frustrating when it happens and you don't know why!
Incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Thank you I hope these works for me I have the same grill I will get it cleaned out these weekend
This video really helped me. Thanks
Great video!! Thank you for taking the time to show us how to trouble shoot the Q2200. It is a great grill and I have not had any trouble with it (yet).
W.
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.
Wow...it worked. Thanks for posting!
Great video brotha, Thanks
I flushed out the tube but had to use a paperclip on that nipple to clear the blockage that was restricting the flow. Your video put me on the right track. Thanks.
awesome im glad I was able to help!
A nipple on the burner or the one coming out of the regulator?
Cheers mate. Worked out well
Excellent Video...thanks bud!
Figuratively and literally saved my bacon. Thank you, sir!
Great troubleshooting. Thank you!
Im glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Thank for the great tips 👌👌
Thanks! Will try this soon.
what a great video, thanks man!
Great tutorial 👌👌
Thanks for the useful video. Normally all these videos are not detailed. I was also about to throw out my Webber
Thank you so very much for this!
Why will my smalle canister like in the video not fit to my exact weber grill?
I bought one of these sans stand, earlier this year after being on the fence about it and recently have gas flow issues within months of receiving it. :/
great, advise seemed to have worked. thanks.
Fantastic. I was ready to buy a new Q grill then followed your vid for cleaning gas tube...Good as new!
Sweet.
This worked great for me, thanks
Awesome Im glad you found some use out of it!
Thanks for the video
Sure is pretty I have that one but in badge Black looks so good
Awesome video! Thanks for walking through these preventative maintenance steps they have helped me get my Q1200 running full flame like new!
thats awesome man, glad it helped. If you have any other questions or issues, let me know and i might be able to help.
How big should the flame be?
Thank you for the video. One thing though. There is a vent hole on the regulator that can get blocked. This was my problem.
Thanks Antonio. . . . very helpful!
Good idea. Thank you.
Thank you very helpful
they say in the manual to go forwards and backwards when brushing the burner not side to side, so that you don't get as much crud in the burner
Did u paint your lid?
Thank you! Your tips worked:)
Awesome Im glad to hear!
Great video! 2 questions: 1) how long did you let the pipes sit before reinstalling? 3: how did you get your grill so clean? I have a year's worth of gunk seemingly stuck to the inside of the grill and I've not clue how to loosen it up.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
thanks from australia!!.. i was getting ready to bite the bullet..but now its time to chuck anotha shrimp on the barby!!!!
GOOD VIDEO THANKS...
Wow im glad downunder we have the big gas bottle models rather than the small propane bottles right nesr the heat
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.
I had a screw come out of my weber baby Q where the regulator is held still so it fits properly into the burner. That let it get cockeyed and let too much air in. It was easy to fix once I saw the problem.
Thanks for the video.
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?
Great video. I have no idea who the few people are that gave it a thumbs down.
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!
Would love some video stabilization. I was a little nauseous.
Thank you This helps a lot. Did not know that they can come apart like that to wash. Saving up my money for one of these grills. Still debating between a propane or an electric. Electric is more money with more cooking time.
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.
Excellent video!! Thank you… my Q1200 wouldn’t go past 400!! Need to do a deep clean I suppose!
Great video. Worked like a charm! Thanks.
Awesome! Im glad your up and running!
Thank you. Grilling again.
Hi just seen this and I will give it a go tomorrow, but my issue is my Weber just 2 months old you think is this common or should contact to supplier?
Thanks in advance
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
I enjoy your videos. How hot can this grill get? I like to really sear my steaks (the hotter the better). Do you think grill grates when help? Thanks!
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.
Just bought a Q1200 BBQ. Love the brand. Are these BBQ’s strictly run on a propane cylinder or are they able to run off of a 20lb. tank?
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!
thank you.....i love youtube
Thanks Tony
you welcome. Thanks for watching
Some times a little tap on the regulator will loosen it up and make things work as well. Thanks, a good common sense video.
I have a brand new grill and the back burner doesn’t work after each use. It’s really annoying to have to brush off the burner tube after each use. This is stupid and I never had to do this with my Q1000, but this brand new Q2200 grill is junk. I’m sure we’ll end up taking it back, but I’ll let Weber send me a few new parts first.
thanks
Awesome vid man.
thanks!
Got you over the 600 hurdle on "likes." :)
Could you use an air compressor to clean out?
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!
Best way to clean your tube is to put it in a self clean oven comes out like new.
Byron Gass really, it works just like that?
Quick question. How long this 1lb propane tank will last with q2200? I.m actually looking for the smaller brother q1200 BTU will help to calculate a time.
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)
did u just turn the plastic side table on the flames xD
can i connect this up 2 my M/H gas ?
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.
If you have a spider web make sure to kill the spider.
how much does weber charge for the regulator ? and I just had the igniter changed . git it from amazon because they had 2 day delivery
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.
Did you repaint the lid? That looks really glossy
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.
WHY ONE HANDED ? YOUR SYSTEM WORKED GREAT ! FIRST TIME GAINED 50*, SECONED TIME 150*, BUT I USED 2 HANDS.
Im lucky if i can get mine to 400 degrees, cleaned everything and just terrible gas flow, all the more reason to stick with charcoal
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!
Didn't solve mine.
Weber will send us a free regulator if it has issues or need pay? Lol
Too many ads
These grills are not that great. The regulators are junk. Weber will not send you one for free they are around $70. I have been through two already.
