<p>No, you are perfectly right. I think the engineer left the cylinder drain valves open just for the show. Of course, condensate builds up much faster in cold weather, so you need to open the valves at each start. With the drain valves partially open, you´ll lose steam and have to compensate by opening the regulator a little more - hence the sharp bark with a relatively light load.</p>
