Maaterbuilt propane smoker problem

[Pnwnewbie]

Hi,
New to the smoking thing. I bought the masterbuilt propane smoker (MDS 230s) and I'm having problems igniting the burner. I can see the spark but nothing happens. Any advice would be appreciated!

Can you light it manually with a grill lighter?

I tried but it's not working either.

Seems like it's not pushing gas to the burner then.

I can hear a sound when I turn the burner on to ignite it and it sounds like the gas. I'm not too familiar but I think there is a Venturi clip but just not sure how to attach it?

Try mixing dishsoap and water and coating the tube. See if there's bubbling to let you know that the gas is actually making it to the burner
