Barbecue seems to lose heat when cooking in cold weather temperatures
50°F or colder. (The liquid propane in the cylinder turns to vapor too slowly to supply the burners with gas. This is
due to the air temperature cooling the LP cylinder which slows the vaporization process.)
Is there frost/ice on the outside of the LP cylinder?
Turn off burner control knobs and the LP cylinder. Replace with a spare LP cylinder and resume cooking.
WARNING: The spare or disconnected LP cylinder must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area out of the reach of children. The spare or disconnected LP cylinder must never be stored under or near your Weber Gas Barbecue.
