Howdy all! Would appreciate suggestions for how to increase temps on my propane powered cooker.
My orignal propne cooker rusted out and I replaced it with a Masterbuilt 44” MPS 250. Read feedback from folks online that said they could get temperatures into the 360 range, if desired. It’s got two burners...many commenters have stated that they only run one burner to get temps into the 250 range. It’s much greater capacity and ability to cook low and slow as well as hot and fast sold me. So, I pulled the trigger!
Maiden voyage this past weekend only got temps to a max of 260 with both burners going. Outside temps were in the 80’s - 90’s with low wind. This was with a new propane tank with valve opened to max.
Question: can I replace the low pressure regulator that came with the cooker for one that allows higher pressures (more fuel = more heat)?
I’ve pinged Masterbuilt for assistance and am awaiting their response. Thought I’d toss this out to the bretheren to get collective wisdom as well.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated!
