    Default How do you light a propane grill?

    No seriously, I've never used one. I snagged this Sunbeam propane camp grill at an estate sale today. Looks just like this.




    Except mine has the propane attachment/control valve. The seal looks good and it cleaned up very nicely. Do you put the valve on the "light" position and hold a match in there? I really don't know how to do this. Total noob question.

    I was about to try it a few minutes before I went to bed. Then thought better. I'll get some sleep and try it outside tomorrow.

    It doesn't have an electronic starter I would guess?

    Or it's dead.

    Yeah for the most part, use a long match. Unless you have real talent, then you can use a zippo.

    This unless it is an electronic ignition model. Probably needs just a AA battery if it is. Buy one of the long reach trigger lighters. Or drop a match in and pull your hand back quick but light it as soon as you turn the gas on
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    These don't spit out that much propane. I have one I use for camping. Take out the grate and flame cover. Then turn on the gas to high. Use a regular lighter and stick it next to the burner. You're not gonna burn your arm off. These only put off about an inch of flame.

    I usually just take the grate off and light my small propane grill with a bic lighter. You shouldn't have any problems doing it that way. Just be ready to move your hand when it's lit.
