I normally ignore your posts, but I want to comment that messing with the propane system for "winterization" is not only unnecessary, but not recommended. The little screw you are talking about is most likely the gas adjustment, and should be left alone if things are working properly. We are all here to help each other, but I strongly suggest to those reading this to leave the gas system alone. If you remove an appliance (as this thread is addressing), it is not a bad idea to put a flare type plug in the end of the open pipe to prevent possibility of a big leak while waiting for the replacement appliance (water heater in this case I believe).
