Gas powered Bain-Maria playing up (very dangerous fire!)

[AstonHill]

Greetings!
I have just bough a brand new Bain-maria

There appears to be some kind of leak or something is very wrong as when I ig-night the burner there is fire coming out of the vents and the temperature dial gauge too (very dangerous indeed!)

I have uploaded a video to youtube of it. Please see hear

I have contacted the company and they will come back to me when they have an answer. But in the mean time and ideas please?

Thanks

Stop messing with things you obviously haven't a clue about before
You blow your self up

The bottle regulator, if it is a bottle pressure regulator - is not one I recognise.

what do you mean stop messing! I have bought and paid for this to do a job; it is not a game nor a toy!

I found the bottle with regulator on it in a clear out so I know nothing about it; maybe it dose not have a regulator on it and to much gas coming out. I do however have another bottle in storage

You have absolutely no idea what you are doing stop messing around before you kill someone

Maybe if you did the shot in daylight we'd be able to see what you're doing
First question must be Where is the gas regulator ?

There is no regulator - the pipe is connected directly to the bottle valve:

The cylinder is probably providing around 1.5 bar to an appliance with a maximum rated pressure of 37mbar.

It is very definitely not a toy, that's why we are suggesting, for your own safety (and if you are using it for catering, that of your customers), stop messing with an appliance you don't understand.

...also, the connections on that hose look corroded, is there any cracking on the hose? Has the hose BS3212 markings? Is it under two years old?
Have you had gas safety training?
Do you have a risk assessment for its use?

Attached is some guidance for external caterers, it may not be relevant for you, but it should give you some food for thought...

That just explains what different types of gas can be connected to it, natural gas and lpg. I haven’t seen the video but if you think something is dangerous to use then any advice would be to stop using it immediately, especially when it comes to gas. Think of the safety of the general public and yourself.

Seriously.
If you knew what you were doing, you'd absolutely understand that the LPG container needs to have a regulator for connection to any appliance.

Get the fuel supply sorted properly.
