I have a Sunncamp SE350, and I seem to have an issue with my gas grill. I'm not entirely sure what the fault is, but it's not burning properly. I've contacted Sunncamp and it's not something they can fix. So I'm considering my options, I have a separate Camping Gaz cooker with grill, but I really don't want to have to lug around a whole extra unit, alternatively what I'd like to do is repair or replace my existing unit.
Has anyone had a similar issue, and if so how did you resolve it?

The regulator that connects to the bottle is brand new, the both ring on the hob work perfectly, it's just the grill that isn't working as it should

I had a similar problem and fixed it by cleaning all the small holes that the gas normally flows out of in the grill itself. Bit tedious using a needle but did the trick!

Best to brush it rather than pole needles in.

If it is burning a bit yellow or not coming through some jets, what is common is a spider web inside the jet and/or the tube, it will most likely just need blowing through.

Thanks Chris, that is the problem, I will give a good clean, and fingers crossed it will do the trick.

So, today I managed to have a proper look at the issue with my grill, and I discovered that the union that connect the tiny copper pipe to the control knob is covered in black soot, and this is the source of my yellow flame, this explains why I have a burn mark on the top surface of the hob that is no where near anything. So fingers crossed it's just a leaky union, and will end up being a cheap fix.

Gas grill is now fixed, it turned out to be cobweb blocking the nozzle from the control, so after a strip down and clean up, toast is back on the menu 😂
