Unless I start off with a 100% full tank, it will freeze up when I boil crawfish. If it's full when I start, I never have any issues. Am I doing something wrong?

This is the burner I use.

The gas is flowing faster than the tank was designed for causing the build up of frost on the tank, to remedy this put the tank in water when using a double jet burner.

I have a badass regulator and mine'll freeze up as well. I hose it off, shake it up, move it closer to the pot...I'm usually about done when it starts acting up. The full blast setting to get the water back to boil after the bugs are dropped is when it happens. I only need it for a few minutes then, so it's no big deal. During the initial boil there's usually no need for full blast, once they're dropped though, it's on.

Unless you're running a big arse commercial trailer, this will 100% solve your prob. When the gas gets low on the 25gal, even they freeze up if you're running them wide open.
