Good hints thanks. I discovered today that I was hanging my torch the wrong way. I had the torch end lying above the newspaper, not the end that goes onto the propane tank. Umm was this suppose to obvious? Maybe I am blonde...

Anyways, I will hang the torch properly this time tonight.

Plus I am armed with some mapp gas

Plus I am armed with another hothead a local supplier kindly lent me.

I will be testing and taking notes all weekend.

This WILL be solved!

Find out when your supplier gets a fresh supply of propane and that is when you want to fill your bottle--right after a new shipment. My husband fills my tank and they get their new shipment on Friday. I had him fill my tank after they got their new propane and it has been acting much better.
