I bought 2 of the BG-14 burners along with a Bayou adjustable regulator (10-30 psi) and high pressure lines for my new setup. I tried to get it to light today and was only able to get the one burner lit and not the second.

How should I have the adjustable regulator set for the burners? When I did get light off, I think I had the air control for the burner set low and the regulator high. I was messing with the settings and lost the flame and wasn't able to get it re-lit. What am I doing wrong?

Hoping to brew my first all-grain batch tomorrow, any tips to get me brewing?
 
Sounds like the excess flow valve in the tank adapter tripped, which cuts off most of the flow. Next time start by backing regulator off all the way, closing the burner gas valve if equipped, then open the tank valve slowly. Next turn up the regulator a bit and light the burners up, then turn regulator pressure up as needed so the excess flow valve will not trip and shut off gas flow again..
