Hello,

I am going to start building my first smokehouse. I'm going to be using a propane burner and was hoping someone could explain what a flame out sensor is and how you install/use it with the burner. I forgot to mention that I plan to plumb the burner to the tank and not use the hose.

A flame sensor detects the flame of the burner..   If the flame goes out, the sensor turns off the gas supply...

Are there any tips or other suggestions for using a propane burner? Anything to worry about by hard plumbing the supply line?
