The Blue Rhino Barbeque that doesn't.
My travel trailer came with a Blue Rhino BBQ that has a separate gas line and cut off valve, with quick disconnect features. The top of the BBQ has a thermometer for temperature reading.
Last week, while at about 6000 feet in elevation, I could not get much over 275 to 300F temperature to cook a couple of fine Rib eye steaks.
Upon looking at the hose, the diameter of the hose to flow propane looks exceedingly small and restrictive at the valves, perhaps 1/8" or 3 /16" in diameter.
Needless to say, 35 minutes is waaaay too long to cook steaks, 8 minutes per side is my normal procedure. I ended up firing up the generator and nuking them in the microwave to prevent myself from eating raw meat, the BBQ was not getting the job done with enough heat.
Suggestions? Is my pressure for propane too low? Is the intermediary hose too small? Is the valve on the BBQ defective and not flowing enough? It needs more propane and more air to make more heat to cook properly, things like tri tip roasts and steaks and chicken.
