I cannot tell you how many times I have stood out in the cold, well, not =
what a lot of people would call cold since I live in South Texas, but col=
d enough so that the low level of propane was turning to a liquid because=
of the weather and doused my 250 gallon tank with the water hose to keep=
it warm enough to get the cones down. I hate myself but save the firing=
.. It works great. Now, I haven't done this when it was cold enough to f=
reeze the hose, of course. Ann Sciba, Wharton, TX
