Re: Signs of low grill propane

I did a regulator reset by disconnecting the tank and opening the burner valves. I then closed the burner valves, hooked the tank back up, and then lit it like I usually do.

This is what the flame now looks like




Now I'm trying to cook burgers while dodging Mosquitos.

Maybe I'll haul out a bug zapper.

"Maybe I'll haul out a bug zapper."

Do a bit of research on this
You will discover the bug zappers get almost no mosquitos
They are very effective at killing beneficial insects though

Studies have shown that less than 1% of insects killed in the most common bug zappers are mosquitos
Beneficial night pollinators are the primary causalities of those devices

Please do us all a favor and toss it in trash and spread the word they only waste electricity and primarily kill only beneficial bugs

Here is one of many articles:

Do mosquito magnets/mosquito deletos really work or are they just a $300 gimmick.

They work if you run them all season so that the population never explodes. Putting one out mid-season won't get them under control.

Curious where you came up with that 'fact'

And the definition of control is a bit unclear, more of shade of gray term instead of black & white

When it comes to mosquitoes, short term immediate area population reduction is pretty much all you can expect

Yea yea, major efforts like swamp draining, community wide poison spraying and other large scale environmental projects can have dramatic effects....

Mosquitoes are drawn by carbon dioxide. If you have a way to produce carbon dioxide near the zapper then it will work. Until then I suggest Citronella plants or oil. They are effective at repelling mosquitoes.

That was my parents' experience using one for 8-10 years in their wooded lot in MD.

They also encouraged bats to nest and removed sources of standing water.
