    If all the gas appliances are having issues, you should call the Gas company. Once in a while the gas distribution pipes fill with water and the gas flow is severely degraded. You may have multiple issues too.

    Your service regulator could be bad. That is the responsibility of the gas utility if it is natural gas.

    I went outside to check the vent on the regulator I also knocked some debris off it with my finger before I took the pics

    The vent can ice up when it is around freezing but that is far more common with propane. With natural gas it is more common that the regulator or meter will have some sort of internal failure.

    Thank you, I'll call the gas company see what they say & change the thermocouple & go from there

    The thermocouple may be ok, it might just not be heating the right part if the flame is too small because the pressure is low.

    I thought it looked weak, I figured it was clogged but it didn't make a difference after taking it apart blowing air through the lines and cleaning it all with steel wool It had rust & debris in it and build up on the thermocouple
