I bought a Bayou Classic KA4B burner from amazon last week, brought it home and hooked it up to a newly filled propane tank, went to fire it up and... nothing. No gas is flowing from the tank through the regulator.
I disconnected and reconnected several times, re-read the manual in excruciating detail following the steps and order of opening the valves repeatedly with no luck.
I got on a chat with Bayou Classic support and he had me try a couple of things (mainly smacking the regulator around a bit) and no dice. He asked me to send a pic and the receipt and he would send a new regulator. Being impatient and knowing Amazon is the much quicker alternative, I returned the first one and they shipped me a brand new one.
Well, I'm having the same exact issue now. The thing is, the tank works just fine with my weber grill, so the tank itself isn't bad, right?
Steps:
When I disconnect the hose from the tank, there is the typical release of gas pressure.
I recently got this tank at one of those tank exchange places (no one near me fills them anymore...) So am I stuck waiting to burn through the gas on this one with the grill so I can try a different tank? Anything else I can try here?

Steps:
- Turn off Tank and Burner valves
- Connect Burner Hose to Tank
- Slowly turn on Tank Valve (this is where it gets interesting, as every time I turn the valve on when connected to the burner, there is a very loud "click"inside the tank valve, like a spring firing into place. Doesn't happen with the grill)
- Slowly turn on Burner Valve
- Nothing happens. No gas whatsoever is flowing to the burner
