Refrigerator not as cold on gas
Well, thanks everyone!! I'm very grateful for the suggested remedies.
Here is an update- I removed the cowl around the burner and put a 90 degree bend in a piece of old fuel line and blew 150 psi air up into the stack while banging away on the sides. Probably 2 or 3 tablespoons of rust came out, not as much as I thought should. I also checked the flame and it is centered right under the hole in the bottom of the stack. There is a nice strong blue flame- and it certainly gets warm! I had installed two muffin fans on the condenser coils last summer to no avail, so I relocated them to the top of the compartment, just below the lid. There is a considerable amount of warm air now exhausting through the vent. The beer is still at 40 degrees, but we'll see where it goes overnight. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Stephen Birtles" > > Re-aim the flame > Stephen 77fc35 > > > --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "ronmarabito2002" > > > > > Shane: I would bet that it has to do with the flame.
