    Weak flame when both burners lit - bg14

    Yep, that's all there was! So, those who suggested looking at flow restrictions were correct.

    Weak flame when both burners lit - bg14

    Ok, well first of all, thanks for all the help and advice. Second of all, i'm a moron! So I determined the excess flow valve wasn't the issue as I could hear it both click on and click off. So, I decided to take a closer look at my supply line as it had a this valve feature on it (I was...

    Weak flame when both burners lit - bg14

    So, I did the whole reset thing and it didn't seem to make a large difference. I took off the green tank adapter and the ball that's in there seems to have a lot of movement room (i.e. i can jiggle it around). I'm thinking maybe this isn't a good thing, possibly the spring broke and there's...

    Weak flame when both burners lit - bg14

    Thanks P-J. Other folks have mentioned this before but the link is appreciated. Now, if I can maybe relate this to the typical single tier brutus system: 1. Turn all valves to off 2. Disconnect regulator from LP tank and wait for a while 3. Reconnect regulator to LP tank 4. Open...

    Weak flame when both burners lit - bg14

    Update: Here's some more background info that i left off in the beginning: - Using low pressure propane - BG-14 burners - Honeywell VR8200A2132 valves with corresponding pilot valve and low pressure propane conversion orifice from Brewers Hardware - Marshall 290 series regulator -...

    Weak flame when both burners lit - bg14

    Thanks for the help! I'll definitely look into the different flows and pressures. At one point in time, I didn't have the low pressure (0.5psi) marshal regulator and the burners were pretty spectacular. So, I know the burners work. I'm also building a home climbing wall, so this project...

    Weak flame when both burners lit - bg14

    So, any immediate suggestions for burners? I thought I saw many instances of people using these burners with a low pressure propane system simply by changing out the "jet" orifice for a larger size to do exactly what you mentioned, deliver more fuel, but i guess I'd like the system to work, so...

    Weak flame when both burners lit - bg14

    Propane. I think i even tried a 1/8" orifice and it still didn't seem to make a difference. I've read about people messing around with the spring adjustment as well, but I tried that (went through the entire span of spring compression/adjustment) and it didn't change anything.

    Weak flame when both burners lit - bg14

    Hey, I'm looking for some advice or experience of others to figure out if I have a problem with my brutus set-up. I'm using BG14 burners for both HLT and MT, each burner is controlled by a LOVE temperature controller, honeywell solenoid with a standing pilot, marshall low pressure regulator...

    How old of a freezer would you buy?

    So, could anyone tell me what year/timeframe freezers became more energy efficient? I know there's probably not a definitive answer, but I'm looking for something like "stay out of the 90's" or best to be within the last 5 years, etc. I don't really care if it's not up to part with the newest...

    How old of a freezer would you buy?

    Good advice. Since I already have the fridge for a higher temperature fermenter, a larger freezer would probably give me the most versatility. I wonder if I'd make lagers more often because I'll have temperature control though? So, I take it that most people wouldn't fork over money for an...

    How old of a freezer would you buy?

    Hey all, I've been looking for chest freezers to convert into a keezer for a little while now without much luck. I'd like to get at least a 14.8 cu ft size, but most of the ones I'm finding are quite old. So, my question is, how old is too old? Would you buy a 20 yr old freezer? Couple...

    understanding high pressure versus low pressure propane

    What's the difference between the Marshall 290 and Marshall 299 regulators? I've seen them mentioned here, but it almost seems as though they're being used interchangeably.

    Manufacturer is Ehcotech. The seal is NBR, not Viton. You can find the valves at Valves4Projects on ebay. They're brand new never used or opened really. You'll be saving shipping at $32 each. Thanks for the question!
