burners (L.P.		cylinder, the cylinder may not be able to generate enough vapor

		there is frost on the bottom of the cylinder and gas flow is restricted, this
		can be improved by placing the cylinder in a container of water. The
		water will help heat the cylinder and prevent the ice build-up that
		prevents the needed vapor from forming inside the cylinder.
	Outside temperature	As the temperature gets below 70 deg. F, the ability to produce the

		the performance of the grill because of less vapor available. At
		temperatures below the 50's there is just not enough vapor available to
		support adequate combustion in these high capacity burners.
Regulator	Water in the liquid	Small amounts of water in liquid propane can form ice crystals in the

ONLY)		use a two stage regulator that reduces, but does not eliminate this
		problem.
	Drawing liquid	On a 40# horizontal tank it is possible to have liquid propane in the
	propane rather than	discharge rather than propane gas (vapor). This can happen if the tank
	gas from a 40# tank.	is overfilled or if it is bounced around during transportation. A short “J”
		shaped tube is located inside the tank. This is called a “dip tube” and it
		is the point where the propane vapor is taken into the discharge and
		then into the regulator. If liquid propane fills this tube it will be drawn
		into the regulator where it expands into gas. This will cause frost and
		ice to build up on the outside of the regulator and supply hose and will
		interfere with normal operation. This can cause the excess flow valve
		to close and severely restrict the amount of propane gas allowed to
		pass through the regulator and hose. If you suspect an overfilled tank,
		or that there is liquid in the dip tube, it can be corrected by running the
		unit with the tank(s) in the upright or vertical position in front of the
		CBBQ. Make sure that the tanks are properly secured in the vertical
		position so they cannot be knocked over! After the liquid propane in the
		dip tube has been burned off, the tank(s) can be returned to their
		normal position. Be careful when returning the tank(s) to the horizontal
		position so that you don't cause more liquid propane to be “sloshed” into
		the dip tube again or it will be necessary to repeat the process again.
