Would you buy the 5 burner again if you knew that it would not heat up like you hoped it would?

I think it heats fine. Even they smallest burner in the back will keep a large pot of sauce/liquid simmering on the lowest setting. The front burners are very strong, much hotter than any stove I have owned before. I use the middle burner for very large pots, or griddles. We have 3 kids, cook and bake everyday. I love this stove and would definitively buy it again. However, we had to adjust the burners when we bought it, because the flames were too low.

I did. I was just not as "forceful" with it. I just went over the burner lightly, removing as much of the gunk as I could. It didn't seem to affect it at all. Of course, I did end up getting the "sparker" wet, but once it dried (I just sparked it a few times) it lit right up. Haven't had any issues with any of it at all.

Good morning. You will need to buy the 6.5 only if it is damage otherwise you don't need to get one. Each burner is individual from each other. The burner woks great. 1/advice. Wait until you have the burner to take out the damage one, that is because of the wires, they do not ecpecifie where they go. Thanks

I would NOT. In all honesty, I haven't tried it but I would be afraid that the bamboo area might scorch from residual burner heat. I had something similar years ago (not same brand or material) and ended up having a burner coil imprint from the heat on the underside.

I think our heat element died after 5 years but frankly we got our money's worth out of it. My husband then bought a bigger better smoker but we eventually ended up buying a 2nd old smokey as it made the best ribs ever.

I too just got back from a camping trip and everything worked like a charm. Both burners operated without any missteps. All I can surmise is perhaps a connection may have jiggled loose during shipping. Try opening up the top and looking at the connections under the burner plate. I would further check the burners in an opposite direction...try lighting the burner that did not light first and see what happens. I'm glad mine worked ok while I was out camping, because it is truly a heavy duty piece of camping equipment that will last for years.

If you don't use the burners at once, which MOST people don't you are fine. it will get dicy using all 4, I never have used more then 2 at once.

It is cast iron, so yes it would be just like a cast iron frying pan, but the burner would only cover part of it so the heat distribution might not be the best.

I think all burners heat most effectivley on top of the burner that is the same size. If you want it to heat a larger pan it would be advisable to get a aluminum pan or a copper bottom pan to distribute the heat more evenly...........Ken

I dont see a problem as long as the 2 burners line up with the plates on the bottom. I'v seen it on display that way with a deep fryer next to it.The worst that can happen if it doesn't line up is you will get hot spots. Hope that helps

For me, no -I have an electric stove and the heat doesn't go as high as a flame. I usually have the stove control set anywhere from 5-7 because it gets too hot otherwise. Hope that helps.

I was very unhappy with mine as the bottom warped so badly that it wouldn't sit flat on the burner (electric stove). Thus it would never get hot enough. I had to use a gas burner on my gas grill to cook. I returned my purchase

What a novel idea ! Having some experience in the burner business, my answer would be yes...at the least, it wouldn't hurt.

Pot is top of the line. I agree it could be that your burner will not go low enough. A flame tamer works great.

My 5 burner does not. Right after I placed my order I saw other ones that said they would attach to a computer, how ever I believe only one of the 5 burners will actually do this. Using this copy as a master you then make more in the regular way.

Neither on mine. The burners get luke-warm, not enough to cook anything. It's in the garage going to Goodwill.Wish I had better news for you.
