The grill works by having a tank that is filled with gas installed below the grill. This tank is connected to the grill with a long pipe and sends gas to the unit when the grills button is switched to on. The tanks typically last a long time, but require replacement every once in a while, depending on use. You know when to replace the gas tank because the flames begin growing smaller and may put themselves out.
