Dear Sir, My truck camper's entire propane system went down. I watched several youtube videos suggesting I take this apart and replace that, and then I watched you. My problem was so easily solved because of your advice. Thank you very much. You saved me a ton of labor and money.
Yep! I've been bleeding my line every time I shut down the grill. It seamed like the logical thing to do. Now I need to reset, and do the correct shutdown procedure from now on. Thank you. Well done.
This is the 1st i have heard this,and i have to say this gentleman just save my new grill from being thrown in the yard and being put out of its misery.took 1 minute to fix.thank you so much!
It is great to see a real pro explain this. I'm incredibly grateful for your detailed explanation. Solved my low pressure problem and now it won't happen again. Thank you!
Amazing! Last night, I ran out of propane while pre-heating my grill. Swapped the spare and nothing. Thought it was the weather (snowstorm) and brought the tank inside to warm. Even tried a hair dryer on low. Nothing! Today, even though the grill was covered in 8 inches of snow overnight, your fix solved the problem. Can't believe I never heard of this before. Many thanks Mr. Dixon.
Good grief! You are a life saver! I've been putting off 'fixing' my BBQ for 6 months now, thinking it was going to be a 4 hour intense project of looking for leaking lines and blockages, disassembling and then maybe giving up and getting a new BBQ. In about 90 seconds I tried the regulator reset...and opened the valve s l o w l y this time. BINGO! Full flames are back baby! THANK YOU!
Thanks! This happened for the first time when I changed the tank, after 5 years and many tank changes. Sometimes I "burped" it but never opened the valve very slowly as you directed her but no problem until today, and your advice worked like a charm!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this information! Finally an explanation that makes sense logically so I can remember -- fast flow cutoff safety valve.
just what I needed. I've had this happen many times over the years and by sheer luck of taking the tank on and off finally got it working. Now I know the issue. Something worth noting. I live someplace that gets cold in the winter months and this issue seems worse in cold months. Meaning I think it takes longer for that "Slam" valve to open again when it is 10 degrees outside. I can say this issue is common when people change tanks because they generally let there LP run out, and just pull the old tank off and try to reignite the new tank without all the turning off of burners.
OMG. You just saved my dinner while camping! I was cursing, stressing, worried what we would do for dinner. And bam! Cooking with fire again! Thank you!
Thank you Mr. Dixon--- the issue is truly vexing, and for those of us who purchase used propane equipment WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS, the low flow issue is turns a cookout into a truly frustrating experience. I was prepared to purchase a new table top Weber grill, and then I fortunately found your youtube presentation. Weber corporation should make your video REQUIRED viewing. Very gratefully, James
Thank you Duff. Watched three other videos previously. None of their advice worked. This worked ... it's my 20th wedding anniversary and I needed my grill. Thanks for helping it to happen.
Thank you so much, trying to cook for a graduation party and stove acted up. Tried several tanks and issued never changed. Luckily we checked this first before buying a new one. You brought magic to our cooking. Much thank you for sharing this information with us.
great information....got a propane BBQ after so many years of using NG and didn't realize the regulators have built it shut off valves. Didn't realize it was so complicated. Thanks for the information
This is excellent Duff!! I have thrown out many a good propane hose believing the regulator was the problem. I strongly suggest the manufacturers should put a note on each hose to instruct possible problems of low pressure and the solution. Keep up the great work Duff
This video is very well done. It had a thorough explanation of the system function, and it had the two steps required to minimize triggering the "low flow" function. Open the valve "painfully slow" and leave the low pressure section of the hose full of gas.
Cooking the world's best grilled chicken tonight, when I had to change the tank. Second tank made only minimum flame (200 degrees F), and sent me to research cleaning my venturi tubes, where to buy a cleaning brush, etc. Luckily, I found your AWESOME video, and the process worked in seconds!!! And I didn't have to finish my chicken in the oven! THANK YOU!
Your video saved me at least a few hundreds on a new bbq. The comment "turn the valve open painfully slow for the first quarter turn" was the solution in fixing the low flow issue of my bbq. Thanks!
You sir are my hero. I'd watched numerous videos and tried numerous times to fix the low flow problem but this is the only one that worked for me. I was about to throw my 9 month old weber spirit in the trash!
The guy in this video is the best!!!! Not only did he have "the fix", but he had "the why" this is happening. Really, really good info, and he presented in a clear manner and he got right to the point.
OMG! Who knows how many years I’ve wondered about this... probably the same number of years since they introduced this style of regulator. I was just about to take the fuel system of my grill apart... Thank you!
A few years ago, my grill would shut off completely. Finally I got someone who told me to do the valves in the order you specify. Voila! Never had a problem since!
Thanks for explaining both the problem and the solution. My issue has been on a propane space heater. Nothing to shut off on the heater itself. But opening the tank valve "painfully slowly" at first, until hearing the faint click inside the regulator, has solved the low-heat issue. Cheers!
Thank you. I'm have an issue and I thought it was water from rain in the grill. I'll give this a try. Just came back in and yep, it's working just fine now. I've got a small portable Coleman grill because it's only my wife and I. the valve is different on the adaptor but the idea definitely worked. Thanks
Hay,it worked.Thanks! I put a new tank of PP on grill yesterday and could not get the gas to work.I got up today and did what you said and it worked.Thanks a million.
Don't you think the morons that manufacture and sell LP appliances should do more to spread this message? Apparently they like nuisance calls to customer service and people returning "defective" products. Thanks for the great video. And here I thought I knew everything. :)
I threw out my old regulator and hose when I saw it had cracks all over the hose . Now it went from yellow and orange flames to blue like it is supposed to have . Thanks for the video and information on resetting the regulator , Weber Grills had the same information on resetting the regulator in the included manual , too many people don't read the instruction manual and wonder why they have problems . I learned after trying to assemble a 4 burner gas grill with my buddy , we were drinking beer and decided to put it together . 😄 Finally had to disassemble it and read the instructions and get it together properly ! 😂👍
Common since prevailed .I connected regulator 1/4 turn the gas tank as instructed and I am back to full flame, Thank you ,almost started a major disassemble project
wife wanted to buy new bbq ,i said give me a try at it,after cleaning and new burners it did not work over 300 ,ready to give up I watched your vid now im a hero thx a lot
You are awesome. Almost went to lows and got a new regulator. Did exactly what you recommended and my stove works again. I love you tube. My new religion:)
Thank you ! I’ve been telling people in our BBQ group and it has been helping a lot of people to get back to grilling again . Thank you for the Video . Weber Grills even says the same thing but it isn’t a video !
Isn''t this video awesome? I've got it accidentally bookmarked and I keep seeing it helping... Got me all hip to a situation that was gonna be bad without the answer too!
Who's here because you're on your 5th video on this subject and none of the previous videos got your grill working?
I replaced 2 regulators back in the day at different times before i saw this a few years ago. Why doesnt anyone know this??! Thank you again sir!!

I have sent this video to our entire Boy Scout troop. Thank you!
May want to include there’s a excess flow valve built into the opd valve as well
This happened last night. I did not google grills are how to fix issue but this was on my feed this morning. They are watching!
That has to be the BEST explanation I've seen on Regulators. Thank you
Thanks so much! After following ALL your steps: success! Thank you!
Worked like a charm. Hadn't realized the bleeding of the lines was the "old" way. Thanks for the info, saved my night.
WOW, That just took 5 years of stress out of my life haha THanks Buddy!
Thanks for the tutorial. Fixed my problem in a minute!
great work Duff easy instructions rectified my low-flow!
Thanks! This happened for the first time when I changed the tank, after 5 years and many tank changes. Sometimes I "burped" it but never opened the valve very slowly as you directed her but no problem until today, and your advice worked like a charm!
Excellent instructions! Fixed my problem of having the burners on when I opened the tank!
Thanks! I was about ready to take everything apart and start replacing parts - tried this... all good now. Thanks again.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this information! Finally an explanation that makes sense logically so I can remember -- fast flow cutoff safety valve.
Thank you for the detailed explanation!
Wished I had seen this 3 years ago. Great explanation on the workings of the regulator. You taught this old dog a new trick. Thanks!
just what I needed. I've had this happen many times over the years and by sheer luck of taking the tank on and off finally got it working. Now I know the issue. Something worth noting.

Perfect. This was the solution I was looking for. My grill now gets to a high temperature.
Thank you for taking the time to explain. With his knowledge, i was able to work through my BBQ low flame problem.
OMG. You just saved my dinner while camping! I was cursing, stressing, worried what we would do for dinner. And bam! Cooking with fire again! Thank you!
Thank you, follow his instructions the problem went away. Never know about the first quarter turn. Worked for me! Thanks
Perfectly explained ! Thanks a million
8 years after, and I watch this just now. It's info help me with this same problem I had with my BBQ. TY

Thank you Jeff Goldblum...I didn’t know you were selling propane and propane accessories!
Just followed your steps...THANKS!! You saved my dinner!!!!
Excellent explanation. I knew this could happen, but never was told how to reset it. Thank You. I like the cut-away of the tank to.
great information....got a propane BBQ after so many years of using NG and didn't realize the regulators have built it shut off valves. Didn't realize it was so complicated. Thanks for the information
Thank you, your video is very informative and will do as you have instructed.
That is exactly what was going on with mine. I was shopping for a rebuilding kit. When I ran across your video, THANK YOU SO MUCH !
This is excellent Duff!! I have thrown out many a good propane hose believing the regulator was the problem. I strongly suggest the manufacturers should put a note on each hose to instruct possible problems of low pressure and the solution. Keep up the great work Duff

Great to listen to somebody who knows what he's talking about!
At this time you are a voice from the past. Best explanation EVER now I can learn to cook on a grill.
Your video saved me at least a few hundreds on a new bbq. The comment "turn the valve open painfully slow for the first quarter turn" was the solution in fixing the low flow issue of my bbq. Thanks!
Steps worked. And the side comment about making sure side burner was off made the difference compared to other videos.
You sir are my hero. I'd watched numerous videos and tried numerous times to fix the low flow problem but this is the only one that worked for me. I was about to throw my 9 month old weber spirit in the trash!
Thank you sir! You saved my reputation at the family barbecue.
Thanks, Worked like a charm! We're cooking with gas now!
The guy in this video is the best!!!! Not only did he have "the fix", but he had "the why" this is happening. Really, really good info, and he presented in a clear manner and he got right to the point.
brilliant video he explains very clearly the safety mechanism of propane gas tanks...
OMG! Who knows how many years I’ve wondered about this... probably the same number of years since they introduced this style of regulator. I was just about to take the fuel system of my grill apart... Thank you!
God bless you man! Your excellent video got the gas working in my motorhome on a cold winter night. Thanks!
Great instruction & explanation, thank you!
A few years ago, my grill would shut off completely. Finally I got someone who told me to do the valves in the order you specify. Voila! Never had a problem since!

Thanks for the education and fix No Gimmicks or extras just what we need know to go get it up and running. you’re awesome dude. Thankyou
You saved my dinner 8 years later thank you!!
Thanks for explaining both the problem and the solution. My issue has been on a propane space heater. Nothing to shut off on the heater itself. But opening the tank valve "painfully slowly" at first, until hearing the faint click inside the regulator, has solved the low-heat issue. Cheers!
Another thank you !!! It worked I replaced two tanks and just about to purchase a new hose with a regulator. Perfect !!!
Thank you. Succinct and easy for anyone to understand.

Weber says it in the owner’s manual . But , people are too lazy to read through it ! 😊
I threw out my old regulator and hose when I saw it had cracks all over the hose . Now it went from yellow and orange flames to blue like it is supposed to have .

Awesome video. I tripped it after replacing a VERY old grill & turning off the gas from the tank instead of the appliance. Back to grilling!
Common since prevailed .I connected regulator 1/4 turn the gas tank as instructed and I am back to full flame, Thank you ,almost started a major disassemble project
