flame isn't as strong as it should be, take the time to check and
clean the venturi's.

Spiders or small insects have been known to create "flashback"
problems. The spiders spin webs, build nestsand lay eggs in the grill's
venturi tube (s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The
backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This
is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause
injury.
