How To Light a Propane Gas Grill

Start by turning the valve on the top of the propane tank counterclockwise. Open the grill, turn one of the burners on. You might have a knob with ignite on it. If so use it and press it in until the grill lights. If you have a separate ignition button or switch, press it instead. If the grill doesn't light, turn off the propane. Once the gas has cleared, turn the gas back on and use a long safety lighter to light through the hole on the side of your grill. Don't stand over the grill looking into it while trying to ignite it.

Safety tip: Always make sure the lid is opened FIRST before you turn on the propane valve. If not, you may be facing a fireball once the burners ignite.

I'm thinking to much gas try turning the gas on a little bit make sure its capable of lighting then once its lit turn the gas up slowly until you have a satisfying flame :)

Honestly didn't know how to turn on the grill or the propane tank lol.

I'm 19 and this is my first time hosting a bbq.

I'm just glad he told me to turn on the propane! Knew I was forgetting something!

That was so short and sweet I almost cried. Just what I needed cause I wasn't sure if I should open the lid while lighting. It made sense to open it just wasn't sure.

Thank you!!! I always forget if I should turn on propane first or open valve. I have vapor-locked more often than I would like to admit

[MYlearning-fl]

Thank you. Looking forward to trying this today. Total newbie. I have used only charcoal grills before.

Thanks for the video but it didn't help me today when I couldn't get the grill started. I solved the problem by replacing the AA battery in the ignition, . A new AA battery immediately solved my problem. Hope this helps some people out there!

Btw by "light" position he means the highest possible heat, as in "lighting up the grill"

0:30 This method is more reliable (and safer). The click sparkers sometimes don't work especially if they are dirty with soot & grease.

Thank you! You'd think a new gas grill's instruction booklet would include "How to light" ;) I knew how to light our old grill but this didn't have the same mechanism.

[infamousS]

This worked for me very well, thank you!

[PatriotGamesROCKS]

First time doing it manually and I didn't blow myself up. Thanks :P

[urkoolUncle]

Thanks, buddy; very helpful !!!
I'm an amateur at this!!
(The lighting stick helped me get the middle burner going; it wouldn't light with the auto-switch!!)

[bulletsyt]
