[QUOTE="bear, post: 1152679, member: 5779"] Natural gas orifices are actually larger than propane orifices. Natural gas is delivered at a lower pressure and has a lower btu rating per cubic ft. thus uses a larger orifice. Propane on the other hand is delivered at a higher pressure, burns hotter (much higher btu rating) and uses a smaller orifice. It is definitely an air to gas mixture problem. Start with the burner and work back to the regulator. Clean the burner, check the orifice, check the hose for any blockage, check the regulator to make sure you are getting the correct delivery pressure. If you are not able to check delivery pressure on the regulator you may need to just try another regulator and hose. Also check your bottle to make sure it has enough propane and pressure to operate correctly. Most important, do all of this outside, not in your basement. [/QUOTE]
