I know there are no dumb questions, but I have a dumb question for other LSG Pellet Owners

I feel like an idiot (and maybe I’m sleep deprived from my 3 year old partying hard at night) but how do I get the ball valve to open and close? I can screw it onto the cooker, but for the life of me can’t get the switch to open or close. I’m sure the answer is obvious, but any help is appreciated.

Just grab the handle and rotate it down. If it won’t rotate down then rotate up. If you have to rotate the handle up and it hits the bottom of the cooker you can screw valve off and flip how it is installed. Ball valve handles can seem to be hard to turn right from the factory but they will turn with a little pressure.

Wut dis guy sed.

I feel like it’s jammed. I’ll try again when my kids asleep.

If you have some pipe that will slip over the handle it can give you some leverage,

Cheata pipe!!!

[Baltimorelger]

Never been opened so hopefully it’s just needs to be broken in. I’ll see if I can find something g to build leverage.

[Baltimorelger]

Victory!!!! It just took a lot of elbow grease but we’re good to go! Thanks all!

It's always tightest the first time.

I was gonna say that you just needed to put your purse down and give it a manly tug, but I thought there might be too much going on with that comment so I refrained.

[Baltimorelger]

Your restraint is appreciated. Not an inaccurate piece of advice though.
