Just bought a new Char-Broil "table top" propane gas grill from Home Depot. I had plans to use it today, but while assembling came across a huge doubt. Pls imagine the burner as a flat bottle. The regulator/valve is connected to the bottle opening. On the neck of the bottle there a through square hole with a diagonal 1/2 inch size. I feel that when the gas is on, it will leak from this. Is this right? A picture of the grill can be seen at http://www.charbroil.com/grills/table_top.asp. Any info on this will be immensely helpful.
Regards - Dippy |

 That is the venturi vent. When the grills is lit the the burners pull oxygen for combustion through that that hole. If it becomes cloged you will get yellow / orange flames with plenty of soot. Worse yet your BBQ could fill with un-burned gas an really flare up.
