I used my new KAB4 burner this weekend, and I'm having a small issue with it.
When I turn it up high the flames turn clear, start flickering and then go out. It's like they're getting blown out by wind, but I don't think it's wind because it doesn't happen when it's at a lower level and it wasn't particularly windy- I was just inside my garage with the garage door open.
The propane tank is full. I tried adjusting the air intake various ways but nothing helped.
I doubt the regulator is freezing up because I can still hear propane coming out, and then I shut the valve and wait a minute to let the propane dissipate. Then, it starts right back up with no problem. I can run it above half open, but when I get to a certain level of propane flow it starts flickering out. If I turn it down right away, I can save the flame.
Any idea what's happening?
