Thank you.
I think that I will just drop that regulator and connect it directly
as you explained.
I am sorry I misunderstood.
Thank you for being patient.
However, I did the test you suggested. I connected the BBQ regulator.
Valve closed. I put my finger on the outlet and opened the valve. I
felt some pressure. I did not move. I slowly removed the pressure on
the finger that is blocking the outlet. Nothing happened. There was no
pressure at all. I did not feel any gas coming out.
What does that tell you?
Thank you again and have a great day.

That's again making me think that the valve might be stuck. Can you look into the
inlet and see the valve poppet?

    ... As you adjust closer to a neutral mixture the rate of flame propagation increases, eventually exceeding the rate at which the mixed gas is moving, the flame enters the orifices and then travels quickly down to the mixer (once inside, the pressure rises quickly and the flame travels faster, until the gas in the mixer effectively detonates, thus the pop sound). ... It certainly sounds as if the O2 regulator is faulty. ... If this isn't the case, and you're sure you have an oxygen tank that has pressure in it and you're opening the oxygen tank valve all the way, until it seats wide open and you're sure that the valve will flow the required volume then the regulator has a problem. ...
