In my area, spiders somehow manage to plug the gas orifices in my outdoor
grill with their web material. The low flame creates the impression of low
gas pressure, but the real issue is actually an obstruction. In my grill,
the solution is to take apart the jets and clean the orifices with a
toothpick.
