Had the fridge about a week did excellent job the first few days on propane, but now very poor, flame seems to be low, how to adjust?

mine ran fine on propane for two weeks in a test environment, home before taking on trip. I did not see any problems with it on propane. might check on propane pressure, try another regulator.

Mine run fine and have been used extensively. No known adjustment on flame. Try different dial locations on propane start dial as it affects meter showing gas(why?). Try inverting for 3 hrs. Suggest purchasing a cheap indoor/outdoor thermometer that has cord to outside to check temperature at a glance. Don't expect help from Porta Gaz.

Reply - First - I like my chest and principal of keeping things cold , especially during hurricane season. On ac power you can control the temperature, but on propane it takes a good day to get cold. My advice would be put a thermometer inside to help with your issue. If it gets too cold, convert items over into a regular cooler. I haven't had to use my for several days yet, but mine got down to regular refrigerator temperatures. - My main issue is medication.

It's the same as all portable grills. You can adjust the flow of propane on the dial were the bottle attaches. Therefor you can turn it to low or high. There is a temp guage on the front also. It's a great grill.

There may be a problem with the propane. Some heaters have a pilot light in the furnace that must be lighted manually. Others have a auto self-sparking unit that will light the propane. And another possible issue is that either the propane may be turned off at the tank----or the propane has air in the lines. Try lighting the main burner on the stove. Sometimes it is necessary to "bleed" the propane lines, I do this with the stove before trying the furnace. Furnaces will blow cold when initially started, then after a few seconds you will hear the propane light, then a few more seconds before they blow warm, then eventually hot air.

I have not encountered this issue with my grill, however this sounds like a faulty tank or a bad regulator. In my past I have seen tanks do this. I suggest trying a different tank and see if that works.

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 did not do anything special. I unplugged it for a short time, switched it off, plugged it back in, and switched it to low. I haven't tried that one on high again since low seems to do the job of providing heat.

Mine seems to light better with the valve turned to the lowest setting. And let it warm 3 to 5 min then turn it to the desired heat.Good luck.

Turn the knob on the front of the unit to the right to the highest setting (8). The unit should heat up and stay on for longer. Adjust to your sealing needs downward from that highest setting. If you have already done this and the unit does not heat up, then I would call the mfg and or Amazon for a replacement under warranty. Hope that helps.

I have two different types of butane gas burners and I find it difficult to get a low enough flame on both of them to properly cook rice, grains, or to simmer soups or stews without all the liquid boiling off. I wanted to know if there were any other portable gas burners that were more sensitive to being set at low temps!

Hi Dana, I grilled twice and it was a lot of smoke too. Even I tuned to minimum gas, it still burned the meat. I am trying also figure out if there is better way to do it. On the same boat. Stephen

This happens a lot when the butane hasn't stabilized. Shake up the can, fill with the can pointed downwards and in short bursts until you see it fizzing over. Shake the iron a little and let it warm to room temp. Set to low-medium and try igniting again. Hope this helps!

We had the same problem. That is why we returned it and got a propane version.

You may need more butane. I use mine on a daily basis and run out every 2-3 weeks. If that's not it you may have accumulated some dirt iN the hardware. Hit every nook and crany of it with a q-tip. I wouldn't use any chemical cleaners unless you're positive of the reactivity. Final suggestion is make sure every apparatus is snug and not damaged. Hope one of those help.

Same as other propane grills with single valve. Low, medium and high or variations there of. Mine was too hot. I've resized the jet 1/1000in. smaller and will drop that same amount again.

No problem lighting heater. Hold button down for about 10 seconds, release and depress button again. Residual gas from first press should help firing it right up.

I've noticed that if the water gets to low the temp won,t stay put. Also unhooked the propane tank thinking it was empty, screwed it back it and the temp shot up. Maybe an air lock of some kind. Hope this helps. We really like it.
