Weber Grills
I connected my Genesis Weber Grill directly to NG using a conversion kit. It won’t get hotter then 300 deg?
Any thoughts on why it won’t heat up?
The Weber Grill should heat up to 500 degrees, the best I get is 300 and it takes awhile. From everything I have read about Weber grills it should heat up to 500 deg in about 15min?
Two points I will make here..
First of all what is the outside temperature? Where do you live? A lot of people grill in freezing or below freezing temperatures and expect the same performance as on days in the summertime. A grill has a lot of surface area that is “giving up” heat if you are in a cold part of the country.
The other thing I’m going to put forward here is going to start a big argument! I know that! Well, bring it on!
Natural gas has less btu’s than propane does. It is not going to put out as much heat on NG as it did on propane. I know you installed a conversion kit that changed the orifice size, and possibly even the controls, but the burner is probably the very same one. The size of the burner holes and surface area of the burner have not changed. The heat will be slightly less.
By the way, when you made the conversion, did you adjust the air doors on the burner near where the burner tubes meet the controls. You need to adjust that so the flame is nice and blue and not “dancing” off of the burner. A blue flame is hot. A yellow flame is cool in comparison…
