Weber Q1000 Low Flame on Propane Tank or RV Quick Connect

[docque]

My Weber grill (Q1000) loves the little green propane bottles. It cooks great. Hook it up to a propane tank or the quick connect on the RV and it barely has a flame. Already rebuilt it so it is not a bad part on the grill.
Any ideas? I use just a straight connect to the propane tank since it has a regulator on the grill.

The RV quick connects are usually already regulated, so if you have one on the grill, you'll have two regulators, and result in a very low flame. You shouldn't have a problem hooking up to a regular propane tank though. Just make sure you get a hose without a regulator, and you should be good.

We got a 5 lb. tank, which is refillable, so we could stop spending money on the "disposable" tanks. Works great.

Like Hoopy said, you are likely double regulated. My Royal Gourmet grill & griddle combo had a regulator attached to the grill itself. I removed that regulator and purchased a 24' LP extension hose (threaded for the grill on one end and quick disconnect on the other). I leave the threaded end attached to the grill and just pop the QD end into the RV aux LP line. Plenty of fire.

The quick connect is already regulated. I have a Charbroil and have a 1 lb to 20 lb converter hose that does not have a regulator and it works fine.

I get the double regulator issue but if I hook a non regulated hose from a 20lbs propane tank to the grill, I get the same result.

You have something else incorrect. You should have no issues using a larger tank. You're missing something.

I have the same grill. Removed the regulator (bought a hose conversion kit). Works great on my Reflection quick disconnect.

I will try this out. I assume the conversion kit is not that expensive.

This is the one I bought. The “conversion” is just unscrewing the Weber regulator and installing the supplied fitting.

Thanks. I ordered one.

If it's a low flame on both propane sources it might be time to remove and clean the burner tube out. Could be dust and rust particles clogging the burner up
