Q: We have a 100# propane tank outside for the fuel source. When below freezing, when I turn the gas logs on, the flame goes out and the pilot light goes out. I poured warm water on the regulator at the propane tank and now the gas log set works. What do I do?
A: Your experience shows that the issue is with your
propane system and not the gas log set. The outside regulator is frozen and not
allowing the liquid propane to vaporize into gas that the gas log set
needs to operate properly. By pouring the warm water on the regulator,
you are unfreezing the regulator and, in effect, unblocking the log jam that
was keeping the propane gas from getting to the gas log set that it needs to burn. With the
regulator frozen, the effect was the same as if you had turned off the
valve. Please contact you propane supplier for their advice on how to
protect your regulator from freezing.
