Propane burner problem

[jalc6927]

Hey guys

I have a two jet burner from academy and it works great usually

About every three brews the flame becomes real weak as compared to the normal which boils 7 gallons in about 10 minutes, then all of sudden it will get real weak and it takes about an hour to get to boil

I bought a new regulator and it worked great for about 3 brews

Tanks are full

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Try shutting off the tank and disconnecting the regulator from the tank, then reconnect. I have this problem occasionally with my backyard propane grill, and that always fixes it.

Agree with @mongoose33, its probably the regulator tripping due to excessive flow pre-ignition.

That worked this time

The regulator froze?

Makes me think about the Grainfather more and more

Its probably because of the dual jets.

I have a few bayou burners that work alright, they take some time to heat 9gallons of water, they sound like a 747 APU and Im really close to building an electric rig . . . so you arent alone.

747 APU is about right, almost need hearing protection
