Why my Brinkmann 810-2512-S does not get hot enough?
- J
  Jordan MyersAug 17, 2025
  If your Brinkmann Grill isn't getting hot enough, begin by replacing or refilling the LP gas tank. If that doesn't solve the issue, a flow limiting device may have been activated. Try a Mini Reset by turning the control knobs and LP gas tank valve to “OFF”, waiting one minute, and then relighting the grill according to the lighting instructions. If the flames are still too low, perform a Full Reset: Turn off the control knobs and LP gas tank valve, disconnect the regulator from the propane tank, inspect the LP cylinder rubber seal, wait one minute, reconnect the regulator, perform a leak test on all connections, and then light the grill as instructed.

Why Brinkmann 810-2512-S flame is yellow or orange?
- C
  christine40Aug 25, 2025
  If the flame on your Brinkmann Grill is yellow or orange, it could be due to a few reasons. If it's a new burner, residual manufacturing oils may be present, so burn the grill for 15 minutes on high with the lid closed. Also, check for spider webs or insect nests in the venturi and clean them out. Food residue or grease on the burner can also cause this issue, so clean the burner thoroughly. Ensure the burner venturi is properly engaged with the valve. Finally, the air shutter on the burner may need adjustment.
