I can not get my gas grill to light.

This is what I have tried.

1. Tank is full

2. Ignitor is sparking

3. Have even tried putting burning paper next to burner

What else can I check ?

The fact that 3 failed, makes be believe you have a leak somewhere.
With the grill turned "on", can you hear and smell gas?

OPD. Tank is how full? There is an overfill protection valve in the
tank that shuts it off under certain circumstances such as a broken
valve. When you put on a full tank it sometimes activates. '

Let it sit. Turn off the gas, turn off the tank. After a minute,
slowly open the tank valve, then open the burner valves and try lighting
it. Once the tank level comes down a bit you won't have the problem.

Thank you government for protecting you from yourself.

You are assuming facts not in evidence (lawyer talk), he didn't say he had the gas turned on.

If the grill hasn't been cleaned for a long time, break it down and
take a power washer to it, especially the burners.

Oppie even tried "putting burning paper next to burner".

Was fire involved?

I was thinking the same thing. Could be the dirt dobbers or some other
vermin clogging up the pipes that are open to the air.

That is assuming that gas is in the tank, it is valved on and all the
other minor things that is often operator error.

+1. On my previous grill, I had to fabricate screen covers for the
venturis. Before that, very ambitious spiders would completely clog the
air intakes.

Clogged burners

Is the fuel pressure regulator working?

I gave a video link on how to reset it. This isn't your grandfather's
time period.

If it can't be reset then replace it with the correct PSI rating.

OP has gone south on his thread.
