I had the same problem with my gas grill, and it turned out that my burner
had corroded to where I wasn't getting any pressure. Maybe check yours out-
easy $20 fix. You also might want to take a look at where the controls fit
into the gas lines - the Venturi tubes, I believe - and make sure that no
insects have made that their home.

Good luck,
