I just got a gas bbq, does anybody know why there is a big hole where the gashose connects?
[Question]Its like reddit is one extreme or the other. Either you get a nice solid response or insulted and told to die lol
Thank you for the latter

Propane torches? With little holes? To mix the air?
I think they call those flamethrowers
Nah, those use napalm.
And my axe
The body spray? It's flammable right?

Now what?
Dude just wanted to say thanks for the latte and you want to kill him?

I should’ve specified ‘clean blue flame’. Reddit is a cesspool and I’m guilty of being a prick from time to time but I’ve been where OP is and I rarely see stupid questions only stupid answers.
Hey man. Came across this post when I was trying to find an answer to a question I had. I'm about to order a natural gas grill as I have a NG line outside my house for grilling. The previous owner didn't use that line ever so she had it capped. I decided to uncap it to make sure it's got gas before buying the grill. When I uncap it and then twist open the valve, the gas comes out very fast. The hissing is quite loud and I can smell the gas right away. Is that normal? I guess my concern is that there's too much gas coming through that gas line.
I’m not a plumber, I can’t answer this question with any certainty. But I do think that NG is regulated at a higher PSI than most fixed regulators for LPG. But that’s all I will say. Call a plumber and have them plumb it in for you. I wish I could help more but I can’t.
Just circling back. Thank you for replying to my question. I tested the pressure and it was in line with what the internet said an outdoor grill gas line should be. Been grilling happily since!
That’s awesome! Glad to hear it. Enjoy!!
Put a pressure gauge on it you'll know if there's a problem

When you buy the grill it will have a gas regulator built in. Be sure to purchase a grill made for natural gas.

You have to add an adapter kit that throttles the amount of gas that will run to the grill.
Buy a regulator for it
This should have been posted in r/ stupid questions. 🤔🤣🤣
What a Buffoon!
Let’s not forget the sarcastic yuk yuk comments too.
Excuse me good sir. Is this where I need to be with my insults, sarcasm, and pitchfork at the ready or am I too late?
I was gonna say the mob has moved on past me but a second wave mob came and got me fairly good.
Damn! I am always a bit late to these kinds of gatherings. I hope it’s not to much of a faux pas with me being late and all, but I would like to extend a hearty go fuck yourself. Do carry on and I hope you have a great day.
Don’t YoU hAvE GoOgLe?!
Some, myself included, just enjoy the discussion on Reddit.
Former you piece of shit, Just die already
Or you make a post looking for help with your car and get zero response.
The way I remember it, first equals former, F=F, latter equals last, L=L..
Thank you! This is my first bbq and i got it used so i thought i was maybe missing a part :)
Enjoy your BBQ, and I wish you epic burgers in your future.
He will burn them to the point where they will be extruded carbon pucks. He's fucked
Why you hurt me?
Taste the meat, not the heat!
Don’t be a gatekeeper
According to Wikipedia you are wrong
Be aware that spiders really like opening like that. Solution is to put a spider guard over the hole and/or to brush the thing out periodically.
Just Google up "bbq spider guards"
Bbq spider sounds interesting.
Sounds like a band name “barbecue spider guardians”
Edit: changed the end to a way better ending.
Will be looking into it, thanks!
My son used to be a pool technician, spiders LOVE natural gas. He said the gas lines are always full of spiders when they open pools in the spring
I thought it is the ignition key hole where the the curly wire key thing that hangs from the little chain goes in to start up the grill.
And Don't forget to click your tongs at least twice.
Nope, completely normal! Enjoy!
These make for tasty BBQ also. https://smokeyourbourbon.com/
Looks threaded too, meaning this is how you adjust the air/fuel mixture to get a clean blue flame.
Now die dammit…lol!
This is the correct answer.
3 elements : heat, fuel, oxygen
This gap is used to pull air in to achive a better flame (I think this is on the sideburner? Because of the venturi effect the gasonly flows into the burner and sucks the air in with it.
Yes, in fact it’s called a Venturi burner. The end of the propane hose has specific office (very small hole) for the application. The gasses premix on the way to the burner head where they are combusted. Edit: it’s orifice not office.
Orifice is a hole. Offices are filled with aholes.
Shoot! Yes indeed.
On a positive, I immediately pictured a little hose sitting at his desk, wearing glasses, typing away on an old dinosaur box computer. So there's that.
Rocket engineer, can confirm
Soooo technically BBQ-ing really is rocket science?
Offices are also filled with holes in my life. I call them meetings, and they're a black hole into which I torpedo hours of my life each day. I can't wait to stand at the pearly gates trying to explain to St. Peter that the Pièce de Résistance of my life was throwing half of it into the void so my teams could do actual work.
Truth
An ahole is an orifice
That’s some meta shit right there
Just spit coffee on a coworker….not sure which of us is the bigger ahole right now. You win all the internet points today.
Named after Vinnie Venturi. He always smoked in his car with the windows up until one day a passenger cracked one open to not die and presto- Venturi effect was born.
Same concept is now on diesel vehicles at the exhaust pipe. When diesel engines need to regenerate, they have to burn off excess soot and other stuff in the diesel exhaust filter, and that requires it to be very, very hot. There was a real chance of something literally being blow torched by walking by the exhaust pipe while this normal operation happens until they put holes in the exhaust to draw in air to cool the hot as heck exhaust gases.
Science, b word.
I don’t think cars were a thing in the 18th century…
It's an orifice with air shutter for primary air mixing. The velocity of the gas along with the orifice size is what creates a draft to draw in air for combustion. This one is non-adjustable.
Also a good idea to check the venturis for spiders.
What would spiders need to use a grill for?
Maybe they want some Fly Mignon!
That pun is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen today.

some maggéscargo
They like the smell of raw gas
Me too. What kind of foods do you think they would cook?
Spppppppiders?
To introduce oxygen it needs to burn.
Venturi to mix air
I've seen some water heaters like that. Always wondered if the pilot made enough heat to induce a draft to get the gas into the burner compartment. I was used to a solid tube all the way to a burner inside. This one just had an orifice on the outside. Just seemed unnecessarily dangerous but IDK. I guess it worked until the burner gave up the ghost.
Looked like this https://www.searspartsdirect.com/product/55xbg634xb-0042-150/id-9006443005?sid=pla:bing:newengen+-+PLA+-+Home+Appliances:1150090823544492::m&msclkid=ba23a0e674981d3e0deac6da543335e1 the main gas tube stops at the narrow end of the cone/inlet.
Thats where you put the meat
That’s what she said
HEYYO!
Needs airflow to make a good flame - looking for blue not orange. Sometimes it’s nice for it to be adjustable- I have several styles on different smokers at my BBQ.
That Gap is so it can have a mixture of air to make it Burn Right
To let spiders in to clog up your flow
This is the only correct answer

Fuel needs oxygen to burn

For fresh air entrainment. Bernoulli’s principle

Air intake. It’s a venturi
Bernoulli's principal in action. My two favourite things. Bbq and science
bbq is science!
Maybe I’m watching too much Star Wars but at first glance this looked like a lightsaber.
Fun n games
Oxygen folks oxygen
Primary Combustion Air mix point.
Fire needs 3 things; heat, fuel, and oxygen. By pre-mixing the oxygen before it gets to the burners, you get a better burn.
Venturi
Fire need oxygen
It’s ok. Thats normal
I am assuming there is a brass part with a small hole somewhere at the end of the gas line. That orifice regulates the proper amount of gas to support the burner ports. The orifice will be different sizes for propane or natural gas as they have different heating values.
The gas jet from the orifice should push gas down the center of the tube and draw air in from the slots you ask about. Flame is supported by the right mix of air and gas and those open slots should be designed for that specific burner
Only one way to find out if it’s an issue
I did, it works :)
Success or 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Got that premix going
Faulty gas valve, like in Artie Bucco's restaurant, vesuvios.
The gas flow via bluetooth
No gas appliance should have a hose clamp for a connection!
If it was straight up gas without an air mixture, the area could become to rich in gas and actually put a flame out.
Propane has to be around 2-10% gas to air mixture for it to be flammable
Natural gas is 5-10%
Happy to hear it bro. Glad I could.help. Make something good for me!
Is no one questioning the hose clamp?
Airflow duh.
That's where you light the pilot
Who you calling a gashole!?
Bluetooth gas
Combustion requires what? Oxygen + catalyst
lol twist on hose clamp but the threaded connector after it is regular teflon taped
That’s what you use to seal air/gas lines…..
That’s definitely gonna leak

Its where the sauce is added
That's the gasshole
Venturi effect
It’s so you can see the propane going to the grill, when you don’t see anything it’s time for a new tank
Bro.. you don't know Giovanni Venturi?!
But that plastic hose is not good because if something don't work right it will melt you need a stainless steel line
This dude never used a Bunsen burner
That’s the part you suck on
gas bbq
Can you elaborate on what that means?
Can’t believe someone hose clamped a freaking gas line goodness
Dude, just stick to insta pot or stove top cooking. Your in way over your head
I hope you’re at least getting paid to gatekeep
Tree fiddy an hour. My old lady gets her Skoal and I get a hot dog off the roller grill
you seem like a real brain dead dipshit
Your username makes this comment so much more enjoyable lol
That's to purge the existing gas inside the cylinder. It'll be fine. Just keep the valve in a closed position. You'll be fine.
This is a grill. BBQ is a method of cooking, not a device or equipment. Try r/grilling
That’s where it mixes with the air to make flame.
