    broken propane valve

    the burner, clear back to where the valve goes into it. there should be a round cap that looks like a vent there. that is where you adjust the air - gas mix. things like to climb up there and stay. you might be able to use a gun cleaning brush and clean it out without removing it. but you might...

    broken propane valve

    most valves are not made to be off or low. if they quit they usually gall and not turn or leak by. but if a critter climbed into the venturie that can act as a plug or restriction. what color is the flame?

    broken propane valve

    Dang the luck.   Have you checked the lp connection to make sure nothing in the end restricting it?  Also check to make sure no spiders decided to make a home in the venturie. Other then that do you have another regulator and tank to try?  Good luck.

    New to smoking, hoping for some equipment advice

    for the money and the fact when you start this life you will want bigger. IMHO the MES 40 at sam's club is the way to go.$300.00 and they stand behind their product very well. It has a remote, a window, and a meat probe built in. It is a larger size so you can do more if you want. I have a 30...
