After reading on HBT how great this patio cooker is, I decided to retire my old burner and purchase this one. I was pretty excited about it, free shipping at Amazon too. I got the cooker last evening. YAY!! But to my dismay, when I went to assemble the brass hose connector to the burner, I found I could only tighten it three full turns before it froze...leaving 4 brass threads exposed (i.e. unthreaded). I had to laugh at the directions..."do not over-tighten brass hose connector, the air control disc must be able to easily turn for adjustment of flame quality". There isnt a chance in h-e-double-hockey-sticks I could tighten it down to where the air control disc would be immobile. The hose and the male brass connector looks fine. The female threading inside the burner looks like the problem. I am thinking of disassembling the burner from the stand and sending it back to Bayou Classic. Anyone else had an issue with this burner?
