I'd be surprised if you don't have gas though your regulator.
If this doesn't work, I'll give you my old Weber regulator that I replaced when it was working perfectly fine. I called Weber and they said, "you need a new regulator".
Thanks for the excellent advice. I disconnected the tank, opened up the burner valve knobs, brought the tank into the house to cool down, and went golfing with my wife. When we got home I closed the burner valve knobs, reconnected the tank, slowly opened the tank valve, then opened the burner knobs and the grill worked like a charm. The reset fixed the regulator problem and the blackened grouper on the cast iron was to die for. Thanks again : )
