Hey there, Wildcat Fans. I have a giant gas grill that came with the house. I use it for very basic things, and am many years away from joining the grilling/smoking thread.

On Sunday I went to light up the grill in preparation for a July 4th BBQ, and lo and behold, my grill wouldn't start. I thought it was either my propane regulator thing, or that the tank was empty. I tried resetting the regulator deal, I replaced it, and I also have a new propane tank. Still wouldn't light.

I cleaned out the little burner thingies that the gas goes through with a paperclip like YouTube told me to, and it still won't start. I tried resetting the regulator deal again a few times. I even replaced the battery in the starter just for kicks--still nothing.

Does anyone know what is wrong with this thing? And don't say "you have the wrong grill," because I mainly only use it for 'burgs and 'dogs and it has the fry pan thing and it does the trick. I'm not getting a new grill. I just want to fix the old one.

Any HandyCats out there able to help?

My dad had a similar issue.  Found spider webs built up in the gas line preventing the gas.

can't be afraid of leaving the line open for a half hour or so before throwing the match on it.

Un hook parts to find out where the gas is blocked, replace part

Is the burner rusted out?
