Natural Gas

[Cpop]

My home was built in 2003. There is a pipe on the patio that disperses NG. I bought a Weber BBQ specific for NG and I cant get the gas to supply the BBQ. There are no leaks. Could it be there is not enough pressure from the house to the supply for the BBQ? Another thought is that the male "pipe" coming out of the wall maybe is too short to screw all the way into the hose that supplies the BBQ?
I really don't want to return the BBQ and the plumbers I called "don't handle this work".

Is there a shutoff at that location?

I doubt that that the "HOSE" is supposed to screw on to the [pipe. THere should be a valve first.

if you have gas at the shutoff I bet you tripped the regulator. Turn off shutoff, crack the fitting on the gas supply side of regulator, make sure the burners are off, wait 60 seconds, close fitting you cracked, turn shutoff on slowly, try a burner.

If gas rushes past regulator because a)you turned stutoff on quickly b)burner was on when you turned on shutoff you can trip the regulator.
