WTF! I connect the regulator to the burner and do the leak
test/tightening routine about 6 freakin'times .
Anyone got advice on what I could do different to prevent the gas leak
and still lemme fry the turkey with this contraption?

Note: this is the second regulator/burner from the mfr (NB)!

Q' 4 all!

Did you use teflon tape at your connections?

Thanks, guy. I got some for plumbing I do around the house. I'll give
that a go and see what happens. Honestly, didn't know teflon tape was
ok for propane.
AFB RAWKS!

Thanks for your dos pesos. I got the connection TO the tank fine. It
was the connection FROM the regulator to BURNER.

the liberal use of soapy water to check for leaks before use? Brush all
connections with soap laddened water, turn on the gas and watch for
bubbles. Do this hours before cooking time.

Thanks for the advice. It worked. I was out of plummer's tape so, I
went over to HD and found the YELLOW variety for gas lines. Dunno what
the dif is but, I feel a little better knowing I've got the right
stuff.
