What is this thing hanging from my gas grill? I’ll show you!
This demo does not follow the full procedure for lighting the grill with this method. Make sure the gas burners are off, light the match, put the match near the burner, and turn the gas on. That avoids any gas build up and nasty surprises (BOOM!).

Showed it to my dad and he was like I always wonder wtf that thing was thanks brother!
Now I use it thanks
Holds the match
Ohh I get it that what I think what kink😅
I always thought it was to loop around the top of the tank to secure it 😂
lol I also thought maybe it was a grounding wire when I bought my 1st grill.
It literally tells you in the instructions when you assemble the grill
Hey! I just learned something new today! 😃
Match holder
Now see THIS is a "I was today years old" type of thing. Thank you. Never knew what that was and never really tried to find out
I just drop the match, works every time
Your parents most likely genuinely believe that
It will clean out your gas nozzle
Anddddd i am today years old when i found this out
You mean to tell me for 40 years…..
My grill was actually struck by lightning in July, and it still doesn't work. Thank goodness the propane didn't blow up.
Dude im pretty sure every one at one point has always wondered what it does until we see this video, would of never known
My gas grill didnt come with a chain
🙇♂️
Some grills also have a hole on the side to stick a long neck lighter
And that’s on how, the ignition systems fail so often 😂
If i can get to see the end on the chain, i believe it's for clearing out the burner holes. Spiders build webs in these there holes.
Oh
Anyone over the age of 40 should know what that is….or anyone who has had to re-light a hot water tank or a furnace….darn handy little device!
No. It’s a grounding rod
Your parents 😂🫡
Omg thank you I have been wondering about that for years
thank you jerry
what i did was turn on the gas with the lid closed then lit it through a gap. torched all the hairs way up my arm and couldn't move my fingers for a few minutes.
i’ll be damned
That thing is way over engineered for a lightning strike.
Just like it took me till I was 16 years old to learn that turning on the interior light in your car while driving is not illegal
I thought it held the propane tank,
looks at singed arm hairs
That would have been good to know 2 hours ago
Why do parents make shit like that up 😭 like just say you dont know
Speaking as a former child. Parents, please don’t lie to your kids, just admit that you don’t know the answer and learn together. Or just say you’ll tell them later. But for god’s sake, don’t lie
Thank you
