I have two propane appliances. One is a Bosch range top, fed from an outside 114 gal propane tank. The other is a Vermont Castings grill, fed from a 20# bottle. Both of the tanks are outside.
At this time of year, when I go to grill, there is barely enough propane coming out to get the grill to 250 degrees, even with four burners on high. The grill DOES need cleaning (boy, howdy, it really does), which may be part or all of the problem.
But, the two feed off tanks that are outside at the same temp. The cooktop line, though, comes through the garage and a heated portion of the house, so gets some heating up along the way, but the regulator and tank are still outside.
Just how does propane function with relation to outside temperatures, and when is it just too cold to grill outside? Temps here during the questionable episodes were 40-45 deg. F at max coldness, so not down there around freezing. There was some wind, and in the past that does blow the flame around a lot.
After a thorough disassembly and cleaning, what can I expect from propane use outside in 40ish temperatures?
