Storm coming Thru

[RWS]

My day started at 1:45 AM when my hardline phone rang.  Our great weather service thought it would be good to wake me up and tell me a storm was upon me.  It rang again about the time I got back to sleep.  When the grid power went down at about 4:10 AM, we got up.  The wife put the coffee pot on and I turned on the HF radio and booted the computer wondering how wide spread the power outage is?

Thanks be to God, we had some rain last night, the thunder sort of woke me up but I fell back asleep. We must have had some wind as the squash plants were blown over. 70 degrees here when I went out to the chickens a bit ago. Oh how I wish the temperatures would hover around mid 70’s all the time. Hope you get power back soon.

Our Power came back on about 7:45 AM this morning.  We had a good rain.  It was enough to slow up the gardening this morning.  I need to switch back my lighting panel to grid power now I guess.  Glad it is over.

Sunday December 14th.  We are at our BOL in the mountains of North Ga.  A Winter Arctic Blast is upon us. The temperature in the morning is supposed to be 12 Deg F.  Right now we are having high winds and very gusty.  Supposed to last until daybreak.  We are just up here enjoying our first Winter cold and testing out the heating system.  A couple of my wall mounted propane heaters keep shutting down.  I get them up and running and after a while I hear a little popping noise and observe the flame jumping out from the pilot light leaving the thermocouple uncovered by flame.  This results in the unit shutting down.  I am thinking there is liquid propane vaporizing in the line just before it enters the heater.  This causing an increase in propane pressure causing the flame to jump off the end of the pilot light nozzle.  I am thinking I will tweek (lower) the pressure at the regulator and see if this fixes the problem.

I'm not a LP expert but I have dabbled with hvac. I don't think liquid can exist past the regulator. it should boil / flash evaporate immediately at reduced pressure at the orifice and stay as a gas. to be liquid it needs to be at something like 180psi or --50 degrees

I have an old manometer you can pick up to confirm your pressure

the only I have had a pilot fame do that was from air in the system but it would bleed out quickly and it's would be odd for you to randomly have air unless you just installed it or replaced a gas line. 

any other LP appliances acting up? are the heaters brand new?

I tweeked the regulator lower but it made no difference.  I disassembled the pilot and inspected the orifice.  I could not see anything wrong.  I guess the next step is to replace the orifice. 
Other heaters.  Yes I have a second one doing the same thing and a third one that works perfect.
I have a fourth heater, a Mr. Heater.  It has a blue flame but once for a few minutes I saw orange flame.  Then it went back to blue.  I am thinking the regulator if acting up.  May change it out.
I woke up this morning to 12 Deg F outside.  In the bed room it was 65F.  Downstairs it was 48F.  I do not have the floor heat working yet downstairs.

I came home today so I will work on it later.
