Thanks for all the reply’s. It will do this at around 40 degrees or below. I have determined the pressure or flow is low by lighting the stove top. When I do this the flame will drop very low but doesn’t usally go all the way off.
Last night it dropped pressure about 3 times within 4 hours. It is connected to a full 100 gallon bottle and this problem didn’t start till I had it delivered. After it dropped for the third time last night I switched it back over to one of my smaller bottles and didn’t have any further problems though the night.
I now believe the problem is in the bottle but do not understand what is happening so I can convince my gas supplier that the problem is in his bottle.
Water. That's what is in the bottle.
It vaporizes, and when it passes through the regulator and the pressure drops, so does the temp, and the water vapor freezes.
The link I posted above explains this in more detail.
Had this happen at home a couple of times, and pouring hot water over the regulator fixed it.
