So, here goes....
The Weekend BEFORE the polar Vortex hits St. Louis, I had two Monster Rib-Eyes to cook.... Had to work that Saturday so time was of the essence. I called the Blue Genny into service. Turned on the Gas, turned on burner 1 and hit the button. Got all 3 up and fired. Closed the Lid and waited to hit 500 or so. Going to reverse sear these bad boys and do up some Bacon Wrapped asparagus after.
Checked on the Temps after about 10 minutes and she only hit 350ish. Waited another 10 and no change. I hooked up the Maverick to the grate and yep... 355F. Thats all she had. Frustrated, I pulled out the SSP and fired up some charcoal. Delayed dinner a bit but they turned out amazing. Put the Dogs on the Gasser for the MIL. It took a while but they finished up like she likes them. (She won't eat steak. I know... sacrilege right??)...
Now keep in mind, I have completed a recent all internal parts restoration on this old girl back in September new everything other than the Regulator. She cooked like a dream back then....
This weekend when it was 69F outside, I pulled off the cover and lit her up again. Pegged the thermo at 600F in 10 minutes. I shut it down and tried again after she cooled off. Same result. Good, Hot temps again. No real difference in the color of the flames in the tubes...
Sound like I have a temperamental Regulator??? That is the only part I didn't change out. I do have a spare reg and manifold from another project...
Thoughts encouraged....
