Can the burner run at a low flame? (low simmer)

Have three of them so it's not just one result. NO - recommend a diffuser for this, example of heat is cast iron griddle for pancakes flame down so close as a hair from it shutting off poUr 4 pancakes best turn the first or will be very dark. With a diffuser easier to control. Great stove with this one modification.

It's pretty darn hot even at its lowest setting. It has cut out on me a few times when I really try and dial it down. Overall a great stove. Super hot.

Unfortunately Mr. Davis is correct. I have put a small aluminum pan on top of the burner on one side, set the burner to low and proceed. The pan collects the drippings and deflects the fire. It works if you have the time.

Yes. You can turn the burner to low. In camp coffee doesn't usually last that long.

Yes, I think so, but I haven't used it that low. I typically lower the flame to where the temperature stabilizes around 350 or 375. That does a nice job on small roasts. But they cook faster than indoor ovens. I suppose that suggests the temperature is higher than it reads, but the roasts come out juicy, as though cooked on a rotisserie. This is a terrific, multipurpose, fuel conserving grille for two, or for a small family.

These burners aren't designed to be super adjustable, they work best at a high output. You should be using a low pressure regulator also.

There is no setting that allows you to make fine heat output adjustments. It has a low or high heat setting. The lowest output would be pilot light only on and that might be sufficient at some point. At low half the burner lights and on high the whole burner lights.

Haven't tried it, but I'm sure that if you were to use a bbq type igniter it should be easy. I would put the flame of the igniter down by where the units igniter would spark, then turn on the gas (middle burner). Should light right up.

That's odd. Mine wont go any lower that 240. The trick is to act like you are shutting it off, but not all the way. So between on and off, you can get the flame adjusted much lower. Only other option is to buy a different regulator. Hope this helps! p.s. Double check your actual temp with an oven thermometer. Gauge on the door is not very accurate.

I had NO problem adjusting to high or very low flame. I love this portable stove.

Yes you can, but be careful to keep the handles clear of the burner flame. The plastic coating on the handles can burn, to prevent this from happening(again) I broke the plastic off with pliers. Problem solved and they still function as intended.

I do not think it will matter. So long as you have the proper connection, it should be fine. The only thing that might be different is how far you can place the tank from the burner. The hose angle might eat up some of the distance you would otherwise get if the connection was lower.

I have had no problems with mine so far, and I use a pretty big burner as well. The only issue I have found is that fittings leak (actually it's more of a dribble). It is so minor I rarely even notice it.

I have a high BTU burner on my gas cooktop and it works fine, I would see no difference using it on a campfire.

No. It actually heats and rises to pressure quite quickly. I've used it on a low burner setting with no problem.

Yes, you can. Just turn the burner on about 75% heat and put your coals on it. Let them sit for about 5 minutes until the bottom half is glowing red, flip and repeat. Once the whole coal is red you are ready to go.

I don't know if it can, we have not used the burner that way, we hook it up to a portable tank. Sorry.

Yes, if you put this regulator on you will be able to run 3 burners at full heat and then some. However the adjustment knob is touchy and needs to be adjusted a few times then it will stabilize.
