Your grill is designed to reach a temperature that you set by adjusting a valve that in turns adjusts the amount of gas
that goes through each burner. This Valve is located behind your knob and is the key to your heat and fuel
consumption. An example being: Cooking on low will give you longer use out of a 20lb LP tank than will cooking on
high every single time.
Furthermore, the way to ignite the burners is through the valves, so please understand the importance of this piece
and the position/care taken to the knobs.
•
Example: If you forget to turn a knob off and the burner is not lit, then you will have a gas leak out of that
valve. You must be aware of your grills status and be responsible!
Burner Configuration and Heat Dispersion:
If you look under the very front of your cooking grates, you will realize that for the first few inches, the burner does
not release any gas. This is designed to be the medium heat portion of your grill for several reasons.
•
One being that the flavorizers ensure even heat dispersion laterally across your grills cooking surface, so the
front is designed to be your medium heat section, while you can utilize the middle of your cooking grates to
get a good high heat (do not forget that this all depends on how high you have your valves turned as well).
•
As you move towards the back of your grill and past the middle section, you will realize that this is the
hottest portion of your grill.
o
Underneath, where the burner is bolted to the back of the body, you will see that there is a
“crossover” in between each burner. This crossover, sends gas from one burner to the next (as long
as the valves are open), to ensure that all of your burners will light in case your igniters fail.
o
For example, if you can only get one burner to light, you just need to keep the hood open and turn
on the valve next to it, to the high position. Gas will then travel through the new/open burner and
will catch the flame from the initial burner. This crossover does provide you constant heat across
the back that increases the temperature and provides you with your hottest position on the grill
(unless you have a CS model with a sear burner – in which the sear burner will provide your highest
temperature for cooking/searing).
To understand how this will effect your cooking, please take a look at the pictures below for visual assistance.
