Should the vent hole on a gas grill leak a little gas while in use?
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008rjr666 asked:
Bought a CharBroil gas grill used, noticed tape on the regulator, and realized the vent hole was taped shut. If all 3 burners are off and tank valve is open gas runs freely out the vent hole. When burners are on and I stick my nose to the regulator I can only sense a small whiff of gas. From what I’ve read this hole should be free of obstructions and it seems to grill better without the tape. This is my first gas grill, is this normal? What’s the purpose of that vent? Thanks.
