Dust off and nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

T_S said it!

I had *nothing* to do with it, I swear!

Heavens, no.

Any worm I’d want would have to have...uh...some backbone?

“Romancing The Worm” does have a certain ring to it.

[eeeeyew!]

Lol.... All good.......:o)

take a small screwdriver and open the venting valve on the side to make sure that the tank is full.

If gas vents out, then close the vent gently and run some hot water on the valve for a minute or so, and then re-connect the tank to the grill.

There is nothing in the tank valve that can break, but o-ring seals can get frozen sometimes.

Once you've had worm, it's what you'll yearn!

Reply 41 worked: There should be a bleeder screw on the side of the valve. Open that with a standard screw driver to release the excess pressure in the tank.

Good to know there’s a safe solution... Thanks for sharing.
