The regulator on my FIREDISC® Cooker doesn’t seem to work (or displays low flame or low heat). What should I do?

(It should not be pushed down/in.) • Unhook the canister. • Double-check the regulator knob to ensure it’s in the LOCK OFF position and cannot be pushed down. Wait 1 to 2 minutes. • Re-attach the canister to the regulator making sure the knob is in the LOCK OFF position • Re-light If this occurs with a conversion hose hooked up to a 20-lb. tank, complete the following steps: • Turn off the regulator, making sure the regulator knob is in the full LOCK OFF position and cannot be pushed down. • Turn off the main gas valve on the 20-lb. tank. • Unhook the hose from the regulator and then the tank. Do this in a well-ventilated area away from open flame or sparks, **Do not smoke since gas will drain from the hose. (You will hear a hissing sound) • Wait 1 to 2 minutes for the gas to drain from the hose. • Hook up the hose again to the 20-lb. tank and then the regulator. • Slowly turn on the 20-lb. tank valve and wait 2 to 3 minutes while the hose fills with gas (You will see the hose flex just a bit as it fills). • Re-light.

2. My FireDisc is too hot.
Look where the regulator screws into the burners and you will see 2 screws. Loosen those screws a little bit and you will be able to turn that metal piece which opens and closes your vents. If you put the screws in the middle of the slats, that will close your vents up as much as they close which will allow less oxygen into the burner. Try playing around with that and see if it helps.
