	Well this is what was so odd about our burners... or at least
	mine, anyway.  It would maintain a good flame from down to 1psi
	and would support same up to 80 or 100 psi (haven't used that
	forge in two years... don't quite recall the max PSIG.)

 	When it went "funny" it would still go to max pressure, but
	minimum rose to about 3psi.  Still good, but I've been a bit
	perplexed as to why.
