There is a screw that is holding a top piece of the burner, I think I am going to take that off and see what it under it, and clean it out. If it all looks metal, I'll take a wire brush to it and maybe re-paint it with high temp paint. I really think the diaphram thing on the regulator is the main problem. I have had a couple of issues with it in the past where I had to bang on it a little to get it to flow. So I think I will take it off the burner and then find a replacement for it.Have you checked for spiderwebs in the burner? I have heard that spiders like to get in there, and when they do, they limit the flow enough to where your burner doesn't work as well as it should. If it is just your burner, there should be standard fittings for everything, including the orifices, just check the size.I assume you have already checked to make sure your oxygen dampers are set correctly, and that the OPD device in your tank isn't limiting the flow?

Unlikly anything wrong with the burner.Possible Regulator.VERY possible your Tank.Swap out tanks. You ought to have a back up anyway. If this does not help then go for a regulator change. Make sure you get a 0 - 20 lb adjustible regulator. You will have serious FLAME ON!!! If you end up with a BBQ regulator from like home depot (You will be screwed)I am a Propane expert. We see many tanks not providing full flow due to the many safety features now on new tanks.C.BThere is a screw that is holding a top piece of the burner, I think I am going to take that off and see what it under it, and clean it out.

+1 . Had a very similar thing happen to my burner. Finally had a chat with the guy where I buy my gas, and they told me to bring it in. Guy looked at the burner, swapped out the regulator, fired it up and it was like brand newUnlikly anything wrong with the burner.Possible Regulator.VERY possible your Tank.Swap out tanks.

Do you happen to have an online source for a 0 - 20lb regulator so I make sure to get the right one? I'm pretty sure that's it as it does the same thing with two different tanks, one being brand newish.Unlikly anything wrong with the burner.Possible Regulator.VERY possible your Tank.Swap out tanks.
