What causes difficulty in starting the burner after it has been in use? Signed - fought out

I always turn the tank on before opening up the regulator. And I always turn the tank off first before closing the regulator. This seems to prevent activation of the safety valves in either the tank or the regulator. If this doesn't work for you, call Bayou Classic, they will send you a replacement regulator if that is the problem.

I've had this burner for over a year and I've had no issues. It works great and I will own more in the near future

Fortunately for me I have had no problems relighting unless the regulator is turned up too high

I did. I was just not as "forceful" with it. I just went over the burner lightly, removing as much of the gunk as I could. It didn't seem to affect it at all. Of course, I did end up getting the "sparker" wet, but once it dried (I just sparked it a few times) it lit right up. Haven't had any issues with any of it at all.

Same Exact thing happened to me after just 2 uses. Perhaps contact the mfgr?

Greg said about it meeting resistance. If you stop there you are the problem. Push it a little further and make sure it is seated properly. If you still have the problem get it replaced.

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

If you're fortunate enough to get it lit, simply pop off the burner and it will extinguish itself rapidly. Should you need new burners buy six and if you're lucky you will have two that actually work. Don't expect a refund. Oh yeah. You will not have an easy time unwrapping the new burners,

I'm assuming that the blower is not coming on both before and after you replaced the control board. Ensure the jumpers are in the correct configuration and there is power to the board. Test the motor by directly connecting it to 120VAC. If the motor works, the board is installed correctly and it has power then the next thing to check would be the plenum temperature sensor. That is the "enable" for the motor. Does the gas burner come on for a while and then shut off?

Mine was hard to start the first time, but is fine now. Still doesn't want to rev up quickly. I know this is a carb adjustment. 1st start after a long non-use period, I have to hold the throttle trigger fully down. It' hard to believe the part about the carb not being under a warranty. lm

There's a fan that blows hot air out from behind the center burner when the oven is on. The fan is only on when the oven is on. So yeah, seems like you're going to have the same problem.

you might have to play with the regulators...i noticed when i have the burners off and turn the tank on that you will hear a click and i think the pressure needs to equalize before trying to start it. it happens when i change tanks and i usually wait and then it gets hot, if i start it right away i have trouble getting a high temp. also watch the wind, i have my door face the wind and play with the dampners on the sides. i have been using mine in 10 degree weather and it is heating just fine. as far as damage i didnt experience that.

My both burners backed up within 5-10 minutes. So, I apologize I can't respond to your question.

I've never had an issue starting mine. I just flip the switch to on, turn on the choke and pull the handle a couple times. Once it's running I slide the choke off. Been really reliable so far.

Tip Take burner head off, fill with fluid lightly dampen burner with fluid replace burner then light. Good luck. Mine works great.

That is an error code. Unplug unit. Wait 5 mins. Depending on what you are doing [hot/cold smoke], make sure everything is clean, dry, and set up properly, cup, lid, pot seated and arrow lined up etc.

Well I didn't have that issue uninstalling but I did have to loosen the front knob assembly to install the new burner. The gas flow tube extends from the knob. If the old burners extension is to long then you can't pull it away far enough to make the angle to pull it out. So my recommendation would be to loosen the whole front panel so you can pull it out far enough so the feed tubes clear your old burner. Hope this helps

I have now gone through three of these because of the same error message. I use mine for roasting on the BBQ, and my understanding is that the cord is fried because the heat from the direct flame is too intense. I have a friend who's been using the same unit for years, but only uses it in the oven where there's no direct flame. I hate to tell you this, but your unit is caput. You can contact Oneida and get a replacement cord, but my experience with them is that their customer service is nil. There are thermometers out there that can be used on the grill. This isn't one of them. Believe me, I speak from experience.
