Greetings! I am trying to finish up my mods and have a needle valve question. I would prefer not to do any cutting and splicing so I was thinking I would buy a pre-fab setup. Can I replace the original RJ-A-5/8 gas hose with a bayou classic model number 5HPR30? My concern is going from 1 psig to a 30 psi setup. Any help would be awesome!
 
Simple fix for temp regulation: I inserted a lever ball valve in the 'chain' between the tank & the smoker.

Allows for slight adjustments and at the smoker's lowest settings and with the valve cranked down low, I can maintain low temps (130-150°F) for extended times. Perfect for sausages & jerky smokes.

I just modified my smoker with a similar setup.  I haven't cooked on it yet, but I was messing with it a little, and saw a couple things I didn't like.  Have you guys seen these.

1.) when I turn the ball valve down, you can hear a high pitch whistle sound

2.) when the ball valve is turned down for a lower flame, adjusting the regulator on the smoker doesn't effect the flame.

Not sure if these are real issues, but im all for suggestions.

thanks

Dude can you let me know the details, like exact dimensions of that lever ball valve?

Thanks
