Switched from the green propane canisters to the proper hose for the Webber to use on a 5lbs propane tank. No extra changes were done. I light it, it works but the flame is blue and very low, just stays close to the burner. After a few minutes, it gets normal.I've done this a few times, tried cleaning the burner, it's clean and still does the same. No problem with the green canisters. What am I doing wrong?

The safety "flow" check valve in the propane tank has tripped.Open the valve on the propane tank very slowly. This usually prevents the safety valve from tripping.When mine does this I turn off the grill close the propane tank then reopen it slowly and relight the grill usually works every time.If that doesn't work turn off grill close propane tank valve disconnet hose from tank. Turn on grill but do not light let the propane bleed off. Close grill valve reconnect hose, open tank valve slowly, open grill valve and light. Should work.Steve

Thank you so muchI will try this tomorrow :)))

I just open the valve on mine when I get to the campground and close it a couple of minutes before the last meal is done. As long as you open it a half hour or so before cooking there should be no problem. There's usually enough propane in the hose after closing the valve to burn for a bit.

Actually, the excessive flow device is located in the Acme fitting/Hose assembly and not the tank.

I wonder if it's because the hose dia. is too small? We've had that problem with our Coleman Roadtrip grill which we run directly off the low pressure line under our TT (removed regulator at the grill) when we had a 20' 1/4" hose. I changed out the hose for a 3/8" hose of the same length and it works better.I used to notice that when I first started the grill with 2 burners running at full heat, the flame was blue and strong. Then the flames gradually slowed and turned yellow on the tips. I'm no expert on propane but I'm guessing that the 1/4" hose was charged to the full low pressure level at first, then couldn't keep delivering that pressure at max. flow to the grill.
