Why is there a sudden drop in gas flow in my Char-Broil Grill?

A sudden drop in gas flow or low flame in your Char-Broil Grill can be caused by several factors. First, check if you are out of gas in the LP cylinder. If not, the excess flow valve may have tripped; in this case, turn off the knobs, wait 30 seconds, and light the grill. If flames are still low, turn off the knobs and LP cylinder valve, disconnect the regulator, reconnect it, perform a leak test, turn on the LP cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds, and then light the grill. Another potential cause is a vapor lock at the coupling nut/LP cylinder connection; turn off the knobs and LP cylinder valve, disconnect the coupling nut from the cylinder, reconnect it, and try again.
