Grrr. Spent all frickin’ day doing what is becoming my least favorite thing, on a trip to the big town about 50 miles away. Purchased a new pressure regulator. Came back hungry, harried, and with a couple of dogs doing their “dad’s home” meltdown. Had to make some on-the-fly modifications to the cabin itself, since I screwed up propane hoses. Finally got things back together and found that somehow I’d actually managed to make matters worse. If I keep this up diligently enough, maybe I can fix the stove so I can’t even fry eggs.
Uncle Joel is bummed. And just in time for the opening blasts of the promised storm which is also promised to last nearly a week off and on. Winter has returned.
Uncle Joel has tequila. But first I’m going to turn off the ‘pooter and tend chickens.
Uncle Joel, you still have wood, so you can fry eggs. Well, depending upon your diligence at draining the tequila bottle: you could become able to fry eggs on the coals of the former Lair.
Sorry–didn’t mean to rekindle (oops!) your concerns about fire, which I happen to share.
Be careful with that clear liquid. You can tell the difference between it & water easily–fish don’t fuck in tequila. I think that means it’s healthier.
Probably best to quit sometime before both feet have the same amount of feeling in ’em. Short of that, enjoy yourself.
Sounds like a bad day was had – my condolences. Just push on through.
I can’t see your gas system from this distance, but I can feel your frustration!
From my admittedly remote and poorly-informed perspective, it’s becoming apparent that your problems (at least, not all of them) are not regulator related. For one thing, your top burners always seem to work, while the problem is always your oven, but both of those things work from the same regulator. The way to check what’s happening with your gas system is to tee a manometer near or at the connection to your stove. Make or borrow a manometer. It can be as simple as a “U” of clear tubing filled with an appropriate slug of bubble-free water. When you are done, leave the plugged-off tee as a test port that you will hopefully never again need.
