Weber Grills

However, after an hour on the phone with Weber, trying everything they explained, I was sent a replacement regulator, back in 2013 when I bought them both. Maybe there’s a reason they sent it. Next variable to replace. It’s like the pressure and/or volume of the cylinder is effecting proper flow to valves. Especially if Kmoose is reporting a consistent burn. Will report back.

Mike,
One issue you could be having is a crappy cylinder valve. We get a bum tank on exchange every once in a while. All the safety crap incorporated into the reg and tank valve really kills performance.

I just got done grilling 2 chuck eyes and thewere perfect. I preheat my Spirit with the lid closed to almost 600. Open and drop them in and close the lid. As soon as the temp runs back up to 500 or 3 minutes (whichever comes first) then I flip em and and repeat. I end up with a pretty rare to med rare that is fully seared with black grill marks.

If your grill isn’t hitting 550-600 with the lid down you have a problem.
