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.
