I would like to ask for an advice on installing a needle valve (made for LPG) in to BBQ. I need to lower the temp on my BBQ from about 275F (present min setting) down to 225F to do some slow cooking. By opening tank valve with knob-valves open I can trip safety on my tank regulator in to slow flow what gives me about 180F but it is non adjustable and can not be increased. I am thinking about installing needle valve (have one) but I am not sure if this let me adjust the propane flow so I can regulate temperature in the range lower than my present minimum. And where would be the better place to install the needle valve - between the tank and the existing fixed regulator (high pressure side) or between existing fixed regulator and the knob valves (low pressure side)? Thank you for response.
