    Heat, no flame

    New Weber Spirit 310. New propane tank. Initial burn off and calibration under way. It ignites immediately and heats quickly (just started calibrating with the Maverick so don't have temp readings yet) but there is no visible flame. I've double checked connections, turned off and reignited, still heat and no flame. It was delievered assembled. Can't imagine all ports on all burners are clogged.

    Is it burning so cleanly I can't see flame in daylight or do I have a gas flow problem?

    No heat without flame I would have thought. I'd get a long paper taper and see if it ignites on the ports. Presume there is no gas smell indicating a lack of combustion?

      Thanks, MeatMonster. There is no gas smell at all. I'll try the paper

      Tried the paper taper. Ignited immediately so must be really clean, blue flame.

      Good news! Now let's take that Weber's cherry! Pics please on your first cook!

    What MeatMonster said. Maybe just a really hot blue flame.

      You're getting heat, no apparent flame, no gas odor? My take is that's a good thing!

        Check it at night.

          My Weber Spirit performs the same way. Hard to detect the flame but it's there.

            Do you get smoke?

              Heat cooks. If it gets real hot you are fine. Only warm and you might have a problem.
