I was just given the burner. At 10 psi it puts out pretty flame but its not enough to get things back to a boil quickly when dumping the seafood in.

It just seems like there is something in the regulator that limits the flow on the regulator. It is the regulator that shuts down when i start to really open the valve on the burner itself.
I ended up only being able to open the burner valve up about 25% of the way and then open the regulator to 10psi. If I turned the reg up to 15% the regulator would shut down.

the part that screws into the tank has a safety valve depending on what color it is. you can upsize that or drill it out to disable it. i did the latter and have had no issues. red, black, green.... all rated for different pressures.

quote:

Different colors for the Type 1 Propane connectors are based on the spring tension and flow rate. The light green connectors are rated for 200,000 Btu per hour. The black are rated for 70,000-100,000 Btu per hour. The dark green are rated for 450,000-500,000 Btu per hour. The Red connector is the strongest spring and is often used for high pressure adapters and T-fittings.
