i know getbig can solve all things so......my grill is only a couple of years old. It makes a kinda "whooshing" sound coming from where the gas burns, like it isn't burning cleanly, but no gas odor. But just wondering what the noise could be.
PS: If I blow myself up, I'll be sure to post from the burn-unit.
And to keep this bbing related, of course I'm usually grilling chicken breasts and I often "carb load" while doing it.

What a suprise that a redneck can't grill on anything that isn't a rusty empty 55gal drum ::)

The Gas jets could be clogged by debris or insects.

Also, how full is your tank. It sounds like you may need to refill.

x2, that's what I'd check first

Aha, tank is full, so I will look into that. Any suggestions on how best to clean them? I thought you were probably a griller... 8)

A little trick:
Disconnect the burners, then take them to a car wash/gas station with strong air hose and spray compressed air in them if you don`t have a compressor.
Or you can disconnect and give them a brush with your grill brush.

I`d rather use a Charcoal grill though!
You can`t beat the flavor and its simple.
-
Just the regulator acting up for different temp changes. Does it light? Does it burn efficiently? If its just one of those returnable tanks, the regulator (diaphragm) in it might be going out.
If it lights & burns well enough to cook your sausage then all is well in San Fran.

So true..

Yep probably some clogs fucking with the airflow. Once a year I hit the grills and undergrill with a pressure washer (water only). Never tried it on the flame spreader tho.

Can I do that on an Infrared Heat gas grill w/ceramic plates? I don't want to have to take anything apart because I'd probably break something ::)
Sometimes mine is lit and then Whoosh! and then that side doesn't heat up right again before I'm done grilling.

Yee-Hawww godammit! A GAS grill in Apex?! Ye gotta be shittin me boy! Whadichyado win the godamm lotto or somefing?

Whoosh? You too? That Pet Shop Boys character gets around.
My undergrill is metal with ceramic briquetes ( ::)) and I do ok. I'm sure your grills would lift off easy. I'd guess the 'radiator' that the gas heats up (if that's what you mean by ceramic plates) would lift out for cleaning too, unless it's dead flat and easy to clean in place. Be aware of your PSIs if you have a kick ass pressure washer and are hitting ceramics tho. Maybe keep them on a solid surface to stop them cracking. My electric domestic style is pretty wimpy compared to big motor driven units so never had any problems on the bbq, vehicle tyres, etc.
TA probably had the right idea. If your flame spreader is whooshing hit it with a fine wire brush, maybe even a pick of some sort for the holes if there's junk burned in there and see how you do. Tbh you could probably pick up new flame spreaders pretty cheap if cleaning them looks like an impossible job.
I'm not much of a grill meister. Hope this isn't crappy advice!

maybe your grill is owning other things in the house
get it- "WHOOOSH"

Im just shocked that Adonis uses a gas grill.
I would think he only uses a Firepit that was removed from an English castle circa 1200 ad and taken to America by sailboat....where it was reassembled by ancestors of the originals creators

I have a gas grill which I never use. I only use Charcoal.
My Grandfather had a French Terrace built in the back, straight off the cooks lower kitchen and lined the entire thing with red brick ovens and fire pits and the center had a 15 foot giant A for our last name.

x2 and of course the charcoal would only be freshly made by French workers outside of Versailles ant sent to him via steamboat on a monthly basis ::) ::)
But seeing as Adonis is a wannabe blue blood, he probably makes the charcoal himself in his winter chateau in Aspen..

I`d like to chop down the Redwoods and have them delivered via stage coach in a smoker car so that it will be ready to hit the grill by the time it arrives.

It's surprisingly easy to make your own charcoal..

Implying you have the intelligence, sense and safety knowledge to cut down a tree and not 'accident' everyone around you

Fuck I'm intrigued now. Why would it whoosh? All I can guess is that there is air backflow for some reason into the flame spreader and the flame is igniting just on the wrong side of a little aperture or two causing the air/gas to expand and whoosh through. Or the force of ignition and expanding air/gas overcomes the gas pressure inside the flame spreader and the ignited mixture pushes itself back through the aperture momentarily and repeatedly.
Stella, yours blows itself out altogether with a mighty whoosh? But not right away? I'd guess that something is changing shape enough as it heats up to make this happen but if it relights right away that theory doesn't hold much water. If it blows itself out it must be getting enough air from somewhere to intermix and go poof, and I guess the pressure from the poof delays the gas in the line long enough that there's no more flame left to ignite it by the time the gas resurfaces? Don't know how or why you'd be getting air into the system when you've got positive gas pressure as indicated on the other side of the grill.
Maybe a plumber/gas fitter will weigh in.

I thought the thread title was
"My girl makes a kinda "whooshing" sound - what is the noise?"

I'll light my grill, let it heat up for awhile...and then put the food on it. After awhile or sometimes right away (or even before I put the food on it) one side will POOF (if I'm standing right there I will scream) and go out and then it is whooshing but it will light up right away again but the whoosh is still coming from that side..there is flame there but it's dancing around on the ceramic plate and rarely heats up well again like the side that didn't go out.
My grill is hooked up to a permanent farm size gas tank.

sooo this isn't a thread about Queefs???

I read it too fast at first and thought you wrote that "Your GIRL makes kinda 'whooshing' sounds".
I guess an apology is in order.

First thing you'll need is a freezer full of red meat and a squat oriented power program. Stella, you're such a girl!
Sounds like you've got a gas leak somewhere. :-\ Like a bad coupling or something. The gas builds up until it goes poof with enough force to blow out the flames on the burner but the flame stays lit at the leak and gives you a whooshing sound as it burns at a single point under high pressure. Like the sound of a plumbers torch? And so you end up with crappy pressure to the burner and not a lot of heat getting produced.
The tricky part is that it sounds like you've usually got normal pressure when you first light it up, or that it's intermittent for some reason. Plumbers use a dishsoap & water mix applied to joints & couplings with a paint brush to check for leaks (bubbles make it easy to see - works well to find a leak on tyres too), but if it's got a mind of its own or needs a little heat to start up then you might not spot it with a cold inspection. I'd see if everything (grill, ceramic radiator plate, etc) can be removed, then fire it up and let it do its usual poof thing. After you have your little scream you could remove all the stuff that's blocking your view with pliers and a hotmitt, not wearing a particularly flammable outfit, (since it probably needs all that stuff in place to allow the gas to build up and create the poof) and see if you can spot a flame jetting out from a wrong spot.
When it turns out I couldn't be more wrong, the usual Getbig excuses apply: been sick, too busy with the supermodels to workout, etc.

Your one stop shop for crackpot theories that lead nowhere!
Best advice is to hit up that roadside place outside Chapel Hill for some pulled pork. But don't be under 250 or you'll be the little man in the room. 8)

I'm probably wrong anyway but sounds like it bears looking at. Do it after dark so you don't have to stick your head in there to see the flame.

Pretty good, I CAUTION YOU STRONGLY, this happened to my friend's wife after the idiot tried ton fix that exact same problem at a BBQ, me and him were very cautious with the BBQ trying to get it to ignite without luckm this idiot comes in forcefully grabs the bbq lighter and leans in and over the grill (now full with gas) and starts clicking away madly.. the next thing we saw/heard was a WHOOOOSH, an 8 foot fireball and the dissapearance of her hair and eyebrows (no joke) she had to wear a wig for 3 months.. afterwards we poured a pitcher of iced tea on her burning head.. be careful!!
