Does your grill always cook with a lot of soot ? We sometimes wrap up
vegetables in foil and cook them but the foil is absolutely black and
untouchable after a few minutes - am I doing something wrong with the
assembly or screwing up the gas/air mixture somehow ?

I have the propain Magma and was always having problems with the fire
going
out and a very smokey flame.

Turns out that a bug was building a cocoon inside the gas tube, between
the
regulator gas jet and the burner base.

I cleaned it out and it worked fine until the next weekend. The damn bug
or
his sibling was back.. This problem went on for about a month, until I
wrapped the air inlet with tap between uses.

I've never had that problem, though I admit the entire mount is pretty quirky.


I had a Force 10 before the Magma, which was better in every way. The mount
connected with one screw and was far better.
The Magma cooks fine, but it's very poorly designed compared to the Force 10
and other brands. We always get a laugh when setting up the grill because of
that dumb mount.
Also: The Force 10 rarely got knocked out by wind. The grill market is wide
open for better designs in the sub 200 dollar market.

Is your flame yellow? Sounds like not enough air getting into the air/gas
mixing tube.
