Red Dragon

[hnorber]

Does anyone know why Flame Engineering stopped selling Red Dragon heaters?  I've had one for more than 10 yrs - and it seems to have a recurring problem in the valve or regulator.  I'm hooking it up to full propane tanks, but only showing about 5lbs of pressure (max - when pressing the boost button for ignition) and it won't light.    Not sure if they still support existing units?

Nope. They won’t even so much as sell a replacement hose. They stopped selling a thing if it’s for aviation. I called when I needed parts. From the sound of it, they had some kind of aviation liability issues and turned tail and ran abandoning all their great products and reputation behind.

Looks like you may need parts for your Weed Burner…
