Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout the grilling season. Always check especially after long periods of storing the grill. If the flame is significantly yellow in color, the appropriate amount of LP gas in the air/LP gas mixture is not correct. This could be due to a blocked burner from grease drippings or from insects building a nest inside the burner or burner opening. See How to Clean the Burners.
