Barbecue seems to lose heat when cooking in cold
weather temperatures of 50°F or colder.
Is there frost/ice on the outside of the LP cylinder? The liquid propane in the cylinder turns to vapor too
slowly to supply the burners with gas. This is due to the
air temperature cooling the LP cylinder, which slows the
vaporization process. Turn off burner control knobs and
the LP cylinder . replace with a spare LP cylinder and
resume cooking.
