Go to a hardware store and get a plastic plug that you simply screw into the cylinder and it releaves the pressure and will start the gas flowing. Not sure but I think it is called a reset vlave or plug.

KY, years ago I was a charcoal guy and so was my now ex-bro-in-law and our Mother-in-law asked why we don't use gas, probably because my doofus ex-bro-in-law was drunk and wouldn't listen to me how to start the coals and was taking too long getting heat...

I made the comment I wouldn't use a gas grill even if somebody GAVE me one...

Next Christmas, Santa (or my MIL?) got us BOTH gas grills...

You know, you season those lava rocks or whatever they are called with ENOUGH steak grease the food on them tastes really good too...

Plus when both my wife and I worked, it was easy to get home and throw the steaks on the grill in 5 minutes instead of working with the charcoal...

And we use the grill year round, I burn out a grill in two years, doesn't matter if it's a $100 elcheapo or a $400 GrillMaster, two years max before it rusts or burns out...and at 5 degrees or so, it's a HELLUVA lot easier to run out and fire it up and run back in to the warmth than to stay out there trying to get the coals brewing...

(I swear to heaven my NEXT one will be a Weber...and if THAT craps out in two years, I will buy nothing but the cheap ones and replace it every year...

)

But I have my sons old two level smoker on my porch with enough hickory and cherry saved out of my wood over the years...

Venison ribs slow smoked and rubbed after being brined for a couple of days in some goofy brine mixture that includes "your leftover coffee from this morning" tastes REALLY good....

I have a Brinkman gas grill thats a bout 8 years old and works great. I also smoke on this grill. I have a stainless box that I put my wood in and it fits under the grates on top of the heat transfer plates. I get the grill up to about 550 to 600 degrees put the meat on and shut off two of the burners. Keep a close eye on the temp guage and tweak the gas knob until I get it holding steady at around 230 to 235 degrees. Leave the lid closed and it smokes just like my smoker that I rarely use unless I have a lot I want to do at one time. With the grill I can do 2 pork shoulders or 3 briskits or about 8 slabs of ribs standing on the edge.
