Kastorkoloz Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I have had this burner function for about 1.5 years. Just today it's been weak, sputtering and backfeeding. 20200124_120724.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzkill Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Assuming you haven't made any modifications to the burner lately and that your propane tank isn't going empty, the most likely culprit is debris in the supply line and/or orifice inside the burner.

ThomasPowers Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Check the regulator too; especially if it was one not rated for propane use and then used for propane. Debris (rust or joint tape most commonly---sometimes spiders) are common issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastorkoloz Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 I'll try cleaning it first, then replacing the regulator. The latter seems the most likely option based on what research I've been doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Welcome to IFI...have you read this yet? READ THIS FIRST It will help you get the best out of the forum. Without more info we are just guessing. Your video won't play for me. Still pictures of your forge, burner, and propane supply will help. One thing is if you are using the BBQ size tank it may be freezing up. If you were near me, I would stop by to lend a hand but I don't know where in the world you are located, hence the suggestion to edit your profile to show location.
