    Cal Flame NG Conversion Issue

    Several years ago I bought a Cal Flame P4 grill. I ran it off of propane for a few years. Last summer I had a gas line installed and converted the grill to NG. I can't get the grill to light, it does smell like gas when the burners are on, but they won't light.

    I used Cal Flame's conversion kit BBQ007101045. I added the supplied regulator and installed the four 1.9 mm main burner orifices. I have reviewed the instructions several times, removed, inspected and reinstalled 3 of the 4 orifices (Using pipe thread compound for gas). I verified that the regulator oriented correctly. I have turned on the burners, opened the grill to make sure all the air was out of the flex line. Finally, I have held a grill lighter next to each burner and turned it on, but none of them will light.

    The only ideas I have is maybe there isn't enough pressure in the gas line? When I tested the grill all over gas applicances where off (Except the hot water heater). Could the regulator is bad (Hard to believe)?

    Thoughts?

    Call the gas company?
    Maybe the regulator needs to be set or reset. That happened with a gas grill I had before I switched to a pellet pooper.

      Good news! I made a call to the Cal Flame tech support and they suggested removing the quick connect and flex line I installed and replace it with CSST (Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing). After a two trips to the hardware store (I bough two female connectors and one male - I know better than that!) the grill fired right up!
