Thermos/Charbroil Grill 2 Go regulator

I've seen replacement regulators at Lowes and Home Depot. In addition to the ends needing to be compatable, the regulator needs to be the correct size for the btu's of the device.

I found that when I had regulator problems, the problem solved itself by turning the propane tank valve on very slowly. For some reason when I just cranked it open the regulator didn't work. I got that suggestion from posts with similar issues.
