I've made a mistake that I need help getting out of.
I bought this fryer setup recently, thinking I could finally move up to 10 gallon batches. Burner is listed as 150k BTU. Burner looks like this:
I have a bulk LP tank for my house and a Tee in the basement. I ran black iron pipe (1/2") out of the basement, terminating with a "NG quick disconnect" I found at Lowe's. My thought was to remove the high pressure reg from the burner, attach the 10' hose that come with the QD, and use the bulk propane from my house to power my boils.
However, I didn't realize how low-pressure my output regulator on my 500G tank was. All I could get out of this burner was a pukey yellow flame. Obviously, I was ticked after spending $100 on pipe, valves, disconnects, etc.
Question is this: Can I drill out the orifice in the burner in order to use this on a low pressure supply? Or am I hosed?
