We were testing the 50 gal pot and burner before the big brew and I'm glad I did. It was about 20 degrees out last night when we were heating some water to see how long it would take to boil. I adjusted the regulator to a good sized flame and went inside for a beer. (A watched pot never boils) I can came out about 15 mins. later and the flame was way down and I couldn't adjust it any higher. It would flame up if I shook the tank of LP but then go down again right away. I think what happened was the tank started to freeze. It was a new tank so I doubt the tank was the problem. I never had a problem with a tank freezing up on a gas grill even at cold temps. The only thing I can come up with is that the burner is more powerful and using more fuel is whats freezing the tank up. What we have is a bayou burner 10" 210,000 btu with a 30 regulator. Any advise is welcome about a solution. I'll probably just have to brew in the garage with the door and window cracked. Let me know if I'm right about why its freezing up. Thanks in advance!![Mug :mug: :mug:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-154.gif)
