I've just tried using my gas grill for the first time in a few months,
but the flame starts burning down around the venturi, as well as up on
the burner where it's supposed to. This has been an occasional problem
in the past, but now it's at the point where I don't want to use the
grill. Any suggestions on what might be causing the problem?


When you shut off your BBQ, turn the tank off first and then the burners
after they go out from lack of gas from the tank. This way, the excess gas
is not in the line and the spiders won't seek out that spot for their
homes. There is something in the gas that attracts them.
Home Depot and others sell a flexible brush that will clean out the pipe.

Good luck.
