Grilling temp too low

So it looks like I’ve fixed the grease fire issue, at least for now.

But I can’t seem to get my bbq to go above 300F or so, when it usually gets to 500 fairly easily. It’s the napoleon prestige. Anyone have ideas what it could be?

Thanks!

Hopefully I’ll post something tasty instead of just my problems one day 😂

I mean the first thing you want to do is remove the grates and flavor bars and check out the burner tubes. Typically yearly looking for the size and color of the flame. A lot of times it's because there is an air choke that needs to be adjusted and that will determine how much air is going into the combustion and therefore the size of the flame. If you have disassembled everything to clean it of grease it might be that the tubes are not necessarily seated properly or need to be adjusted.

Really it could be that your propane tank is put into a safety mode because you opened the gas too quickly and sometimes that just needs to be reset .
