Weber BBQ deals

Yeah I'm not debating the difference in ease of use and cleanliness of the gas, just the taste difference, but I see from a bit of online research (which I should probably have did beforehand) I can easily buy smoker boxes, and wood pellets which I'll definitely be looking into.

Also, the ease of adjusting the temperature on the gas was an absolute eye opener to me , my old weber kettle was an absolute starter model, didn't even have a thermometer on it, but in saying that I managed to get some lovely bits of meat from that at times. Pork loins in particular over indirect were always top notch of it. I'll have a nosey on Amazon for a little smoker box and have a play around, still more than happy with my purchase.

A friend bought one and has exact same issue - it’s a known issue from what I can see online - clearing the gas from the BBQ (disconnecting from gas tank once BBQ is off, opening all 3 leavers to drain remaining gas with lid off and waiting about 10 minutes- then reconnect to gas tank and slowly turn regulator lever on gas tank to on position ensuring the bbq dials themselves are set to off- allow some time - maybe 30 seconds, for pressure to build- this is to potentially reset the safety device in the dials themselves - then turn on and ignite the dials one at a time with lid open - some more guidance here - it doesn’t call out the spluttering per se, but it does mention a reduced flow if the sensor detects an issue

• there’s also an air/gas regulator at the back of the dials themselves- there’s some online videos on how to adjust these - I’m wondering if this is the issue but again from online they only partially resolved the problem - do post back here with updates

Looks like the deal is sold out in Woodies, any other places offering the same deal?

Was over with friend this evening- here’s something you could try.

Switch on gas 1 on full (one furthest left) with the lid up obviously- then turn quickly on to minimum - there’s a very good chance it will go out completely and not reignite (obviously switch off dial at this point 😀 )- we had the grate taken out along with the flavourisers so we could see clearly - and obviously the lid up.

There’s also a bit of a squealing noise (best I can describe it) - I think it’s burner 1 is the issue - hope this helps as it might be easier to describe to Weber

Thanks Oscar, all quite on the Weber frontmy air intakes seem to be open a good bit more than the link on the reddit.

Just went out and ran the BBQ for 5 minutes there and did not misfire once.

Gonna do a cook tomorrow night to see how it goes for a extended period of time.

I haven't had a chance to turn mine on yet and won't get to until the weekend.

Are others on the thread having this issue with the burner?

Ah that’s super news- just how difficult will it be I wonder to fit that ? I’m sure you’ve had the pain of assembly - whilst only a few hours, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to revisit that again with friend

Ya I'll have to wait and see what components are actually supplied by Weber does the burner kit include for the indivdual regulators ect or is it just the burner tubes and how many 1 or 3.

Will take a bit of time no doubt, but at least the hardware is free issued as such.

@Oscar_Madison Yes my package arrived yesterday which consists of all 3 burner tubes and common rail.

Install looks to be simple enough has fairly decent instructions with it just to get the time at the weekend.

Only other thing it can be id say is the control valve, so presuming Weber have the inside track on this and know that it is the tubes and not the control valve itself.

Ya just did it there about a 15 min job.

They supplied 3 burners complete pack I only swapped burner one ran for 5 minutes seems to be all good now

Just set mine up the weekend and had first bbq yesterday and I have a miss fire on the burner, I thought it was just the wind first but reading here it seems to be a common issue.

I bought a Weber E-310 from a garden store in Dublin just under a year ago. Between the jigs and the reels I never got around to setting it up until recently and only used it for the first time the other night.

I must use it again this week, is the issue that the burner to the left (1st burn) blows out ?

Thanks

Not for us - tried the “easy way” out and just replaced burner 1- issue is still there- so I’ll have to open it up again another day (friend is not good with this sort of thing) and do the whole shooting match - a pain but I suppose serves me right for taking the shortcut

Also excellent for gas BBQs. Couple of bits of charcoal in it, wood or whatever. Close the gas BBQ lid and get your smoke on.

hmmm - I’d be shaky on doing that - but the backfire on the common rail happens currently -but I THINK it’s caused by burner 1 going out - must take a new video close to darkness just to see what’s happening

Really if this doesn’t work (when I replace all 3 burners) out we’ll be looking for money back - wasted too much time - no wonder this was discounted
