Now thinking about it was propane cos my pressure dropped when i first started and i remember putting it in a garden pot of  hot water...on a hot head...when the gas doesnt seem to last long. It gets really cold at the bottom when u have been working with it for a bit...especially when its parked outside, but...surely that would happen to everyone all the time if that were the case..got me thinking now...

might be worth getting your cannister swapped. same thing happened to me and turned out to be a faulty gas tank. flogas replaced it immediately. x

Do they give extra brownie points for returning squeaky clean tanks?

The propane tank is simply cold warming it up will make it work but if you put it in the cold again it will stop. Gas is produced in the tank at around freezing point so if your temperature gets near to zero then the gas stops.

Yay! It's working again!  ;D ;D ;D ;D  After lugging teh propane tank indoors and leaving it for a couple of days for the outside temp to rise, I am proudly sporting a singed thumb! And four peculiar beads are now baking in" Kill"  ;D

Am feeling pleased and not pleased, thumb now really "pinging" :-\
