A lot of people opt for a gas BBQ these days, because they can be less fuss than charcoal ones. This does not mean there are never any issues though!
Indeed, one of the most common problems is a grill that is not heating up enough. Here are some reasons why that could be happening.
The gas cylinder level
There is a real possibility that the gas cylinder is at the wrong level. If it is nearly empty or too full, this can cause heating problems. Check that first, because you do not want to be chewing through undercooked food when sitting on your Supremo Bari garden furniture.
A gas leak
If the cylinder is fine, the next thing to look for is a gas leak. Take a look at the connections and the hose on the BBQ to make sure neither is leaking. If this is happening, the burners will not receive enough gas and the temperature will fail to rise.
Bunged up burners
A third potential cause is burners that are bunged up with dirt and bits of food. This can be genuinely dangerous, as it can lead to the BBQ catching fire. Take the burners out and scrub them if necessary.
A flawed thermometer reading
People sometimes think their grill is not hot enough due to the reading on the lid thermometer. Remember that this judges the temperature of the air beneath the lid, not the grill. Factors like the wind can affect the reading.
Try these four tips to resolve any potential gas BBQ heat issues.
