What E19
actually means.
When the flame drops out, the controller does not stop right away; it fires the glow plug to relight the pellets and shows E19 while it tries. A burst of bigger flame and smoke as it relights is normal, because extra pellets have gathered in the burn pot.

What to do when E19 shows on the grillKind of codeFlame and gas flow
The control lost its flame or never found enough gas to hold one. The common reasons are plain: a propane regulator that dropped into its low-flow safety mode because the tank valve was opened with a knob on, a tank running empty, wind across an open burner, or a flame sensor coated in grease. Knobs off, the tank closed and reopened slowly, then a relight usually settles the first; if you smell gas, walk away first, and the valve, the sensor and every fitting stay with a technician.

Weber grill calls often come from a flame that dropped low mid-cook; the tech starts at the tank, the hose and the regulator.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Weber's own guidance for E19 on its grills. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Leave the grill plugged in and let it try to relight.
Check the hopper and top up with fresh pellets if the level is low.
Expect a short burst of smoke and flame when the fire catches again, and keep the lid closed.
If the grill keeps losing its flame, clean the burn pot once it is cold, and book a visit if that does not stop it.

What not to do
E19 is the grill still trying; if relighting fails it moves on to E3 and shuts down. It is not an overheat warning, which is E5.

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code copied exactly, the model and serial from the rating label, and a word on whether the grill still lights, heats or feeds pellets. With those three the office can match the likely part to your grill the same day.
