We tried to light the Kamado with the gas assist lastnight. It was
having none of it. DH had unburried it from the blizzard + 12 " a few
days later, and we had a couple of fillets ready to go. The propane
just wouldn't flow. This is the first time that has happened, and
we've cooked with propane on our now gone propane bbqs for years all
winter long. The fillet was still delicious cooked in an iron
skillet, but certainly lacked that wonderful smokey flavor.

Next time, if your tank is the small 20 pound tank, take it inside or
pour hot water over it to get it going.

You must be nearly out of gas and have no pressure. I've never had a flow
problem in low temperature. Did you try the spare tank?

Since unit was buried, more likely it got water in nozzle or valve.
Warm it up with a Bernz-O-Matic torch! (jes kidding)

Actually I thought of warming it with the hair dryer....but decided
against it. Hubby tried it again yesterday and it lit right away. No
harm no foul. He said the regulater was frozen. What ever. Loved the
bernzomatic idea....BOOOOM!!!!
