I'll go back a few days or a week later, turn it on and, nothing. No gas is getting to the burners. There's no smell and no distinct but subtle hissing of the gas entering the burners. I try full blast, medium, minimal, nothing. I disconnect the hose from the house, and I use a tool or my finger to press down on the stopper and gas comes out. I killed the pilot light on my gas fireplace incase there wasn't enough gas pressure or something, and the grill still doesn't get any gas. Super frustrated, I have to think of something else for dinner.


I go back a week later, and the damn thing works again.



Does anyone have any ideas? I gotta think there's a blockage or something in the hose (it's not kinked anywhere) but it doesn't explain why it works 50% of the time. I plan on calling Weber, but I thought I'd poll the horde here.

My mother had a similar issue with her weber bbq when it was new. We replaced the natural gas hose and it worked fine after that. Not sure what the issue was with the hose but replacing it solved the problem.
