Karl,
What do you mean by full pipes?
Does Altitude affect propane pressure?
SLC is pretty high (up there ;o)
And at least to me, it seems that propane
just doesn't start as well
in extremely sub freezing temps?

Would it help to keep the tank full(er) or does that matter?
PS: Nice little units those propex! Just bought one not too long ago!

Bob, we need to connect when I come through the area this winter. It
shouldn't need three tries. I forget - do you have the full pipes on this
and running stock 11-wci gas pressure? These two seem to be very important
for reliable starts.
