What is the difference between Red gas grill regulator and silver?
The color of the gas grill regulator does not affect its function; it's just a cosmetic difference. Both red and silver regulators serve the same purpose of controlling the flow and pressure of gas to the grill burners. It is important to ensure that the regulator is compatible with your specific grill model and can handle the gas pressure needed for proper operation.
What is a gas grill regulator?
AnswerThe regulator forces the gas from the propane tank to maintain a constant discharge pressure-regardless of the level of propane in the tankA regulator does not force gas from a tank. It merely regulates the amount of pressure from the tank.
What does a gas grill regulator look like?
The regulator is actually the silver, metal disc that is connected to your liquid propane gas tank. It's connected to the gas tank with a black, plastic collar, and then a hose goes from the regulator to your grill! There's a picture and even more in depth description of regulators and their purpose on this blog: http://grillpartssearch.com/blog_home/regulatory-regulators
Can the outside temperature have an effect on a gas grill?
Yes. If it is extremely cold, the gas will freeze and will be unusable.
What does frost on a regulator for a propane grill mean?
As bottled propane changes from liquid to gas as it passes through the requlator it changes state and absorbs heat from the air. This causes the moisture in the air to freeze around this metal part. This is normal and is exactly the same mechanism as used in a fridge. Placing an adhesive strip thermometer,or your hand, vertically on the side of the gas bottle will tell you how full it is by the cold boundary.
What is the function of gas regulator of a Bunsen burner?
The gas regulator controls the fuel gas flow.
Is there any danger if the 16.4 oz propane tank for your Weber Q grill get very cold during grilling and what causes it?

Should I buy a gas or normal charcoal Weber BBQ grill?
If you are going to buy a Weber barbecue grill, you should go ahead and get the gas one because it works better. It;s a little more expensive, but its better quality.
Why does your grill only burn two flames at once and will go out when you try to turn any other on?
This sounds like a pressure problem. Check the gas connection to see that all valves that feed the grill / cooker are fully open and if it is fitted with a flexible connector, check that it is connected properly. If it's fed from a bottle it could be that the bottle is running out of gas or if it's fed with mains gas it could be a problem with the mains pressure regulator. If this is a commercial grill, they sometimes have a regulator fitted just before the appliance, in which case it could have a bit of fat blocking the breather hole located somewhere in the top cover.
Over time, is it cheaper to operate a gas grill or a charcoal grill?
Charcoal and gas grills usually cost around the same in the long run. It is more expensive to buy a gas grill, but charcoal to use in a charcoal grill is much more expensive than gas to use in a gas grill.
Why is your gas regulator freezing?
It is normal for the regulator to get cold as the liquid propane turns to gas. If the pressure drop is great enough and the volume is high enough (which is to say, you are doing some serious barbecuing, the temperature can drop below freezing. At that temperature, the moisture in the air will form frost. If this creates some sort of a problem, you can soak a towel in hot water and lay it on the regulator.
