I have a little problem!!!! I need to find a good 30psi propane regulator. The one now is getting worse with every fire. If I fire more than one burner at a time the regulator freezes up and I have to close the valve take the regulator off the tank and bleed the system before I can fire it up again. Any suggestions? I have tried a set 30psi regulator with a needle valve and that shut down fast as soon as I opened the valve on the second burner. The adjustable one works better but will not support the 3 burners anymore. Thoughts????
 
The problem may be with the tank connector. The common black ones have anti-surge device built in which cuts the gas flow to a trickle in the event that a hose is severed or otherwise compromised for whatever reason. You might be able to simply swap out the connector for one of these green ones which do not have the anti-surge valve:

Here's a 0-30 adjustable regulator that should also work: http://www.tejassmokers.com/images/IMG_0865.JPG

I suspect you are tripping the anti-surge thingy and the problem is not that the regulator is freezing up.
