I purchased a new Webster Spirit E210 propane grill from home depot. I also got a 20 pound pre-purged tank, branded Bernzomatic.
I had the tank filled at our local U-Haul store. The scale read 5.0 after he filled it. (Is that too full?)
I tried grilling on the new setup with mixed success. It seemed like the output was low, and the built-in dome thermometer had a hard time hitting 300F. It went like that for about an hour and a half, food was barely cooking. I convinced myself that I should return the grill.
I let it run for a while, and when I came back out, I saw that the flame was much stronger, and the temp easily ran to 550F after opening the dome.
I'm just curious what happened. Perhaps the tank required a re-purge? I don't suspect that was the issue since home depot has pretty high customer traffic and moves these tanks. Or was it just over-filled? How would over-filling cause the symptoms I had?
