When I attached the gas bottle, the gas leaks out and then doesn't light. I believe this is what I need. Does anyone have any words of wisdom?

Mine was doing the same thing, this resolved the problem. Been a happy camper eversince!

I would guess "probably". they had a lot of trouble with the early Weber regulators. Mine had extremely low pressure, the replacement fixed that.

Tis does not directly answer your question, but I bought and used a 20 lb. tank and had no problems. I never used a small gas canister. I'd suggest asking a gas supplier for ideas on how to correct the problem.

Are you using the 1lb small gas bottles? If so the may not be sealing good. But also the regulator could be leaking. A solution of soapy water in a spray bottle will find the leak.

I had a similar issue with a Rhino tank. However, mine would connect, but it leaked. I bought some yellow gas line tape and wrapped the connection on the tank 3 or 4 times - no more leak issues.

Check your fuel switch to make sure its fully open. could possibly be a blocked line. Also, did you put stabilizer in the fuel, it is necessary to put in stabilizer when the gas sets for a period of time. if you did not put stabilizer in, drain the tank and purge the gas line. Then refill with fresh gas with stabilizer added.

I saw the same problem, and it refuse to light and all i smelled was gas coming out. Wrapped the gap with tin foil; lights on the first press of the piezo electric starter. If I need a better fuel/air ratio, I will poke a hole in the foil.

You are running it a bit too low....try a little higher setting until it stays lit The temp control is not an exact science...there is a thermal senser ( safety device ) that extends into the flame, it will shut the gas off if it does not sense enough heat....so if you run at too low a setting the flame is not hot enough and the senser shuts off the gas...pain in the ........but it works.

Try bleeding ur water. Might have a air pocket? And check ur gas regulator it wont light if water or gas isnt right. There is no swith now just hole where one used to be. Hope that helps.

The first time I used the Mastrad it distorted the seal & gas escaped. I discovered that I hadn't screwed the cap on all the way. The seal should not be visible when it is tightened & actually continues to rotate 1-2 more times before it is truly sealed. Then before i put the cartridge on I press the release valve in go make sure it is not stuck. Make sure not to cross thread the cartridge holder. After gassing I leave the cartridge in place, shake the canister & put it in the fridge for several hours. When ready don't try to open it until you press the pressure release valve until no more gas escapes. Then open the lid & replace it with the storage cap. If this doesn't help then I suggest you contact Mastrad. Oh yeah, use the white funnel provided to fill & only fill until the liquid touches the bottom of the funnel.

When I thought I smelled gad I had already called the gas company before this arrived and they fixed the problem. I'm not sure at the moment how this will work.. I haven't had another gas leak so I'm not sure what it does when it occurs.

I would suggest checking your propane regulator for proper operation. Possibly test the LP gas pressure at the connection going to the water heater.

Same thing with mine! It's something to do with the squeeze handle blocking the gas. I was able to make mine work by pushing the handle up when attaching the Co2 cartridge.

The torch should be upside down, with the BUTANE refill bottle inverted on top. Make sure the valve is centered. Press in and hold together tightly, after a few moments, IT WILL START TO LEAK OUT AT THE VALVE. ITS FULL. aGAIN, MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING BUTANE.

I had the same problem, because of the bottom rubber gasket that makes it really hard to screw down tightly. I solved it by getting rid of the gasket and using plumbers putty instead. No leaks.

My recommendation is to call a local supplier of gas. They should be able to explain how or suggest a technician you could call.

Quite possible. For the safest & best storage you should remove the gas bottle after use & the unit has cooled. Then you don't have to worry about the bottle leaking. While attached. That's how we do it.

I had a possibly related problem. My grill was doing the same thing and it turned out that the POS home depot adapter hose (the one that lets you connect the babyQ to a normal size propane tank) had worn out on the tank side and was not fully opening the valve. Eventually it broke completely and that is the only reason I figured out what was wrong.

Sound like ignitor is not creating any spark for the butane to light. I would consider returning it.

Do you have gas for it?A full new canister ?Is it connected correctly?Can you light it with a match?
