I am using a presto pressure cooker I turn up to 11 until it know starts rocking and then turn down between 9 and 10. I don't have much problem although I have turned down to low and had to turn it back up. Love this burner

I use a thermometer to check the temperature, and then I adjust the heat control as needed. I've found that the unit will accurately maintain the temperatures needed for my purposes.

I start out on the 10 setting. Once I have reached the 10 lbs pressure (I live under 1,000 feet) I start to very slowly lower the knob. You have to constantly monitor the pressure, as too much fluctuation of the pressure can affect the sealing process. After about 30-40 minutes the pressure stabilizes. I end up with the knob at 6-7 (I have been canning meats that require 90 minutes processing time. I hope this helps you.

Mine came with that pressure regulator but I had a very hard time regulating pressure to 10-11 pounds on my electric stove. I ended up purchasing a pressure regulator that has weight measures on it. Works fine now.

No, you will not NEED it, but you may want it. If your new canner has came with a gauge, then you already have the 15 lb weight and you can pressure can at 10 lbs of pressure by adjusting the heat (at 5K feet you probably won't be canning at 5 lbs much). This weight can be used instead of using the gauge (instructions say to ignore the gauge if you use this weight). The 3 piece design allows you to can at 5, 10 or 15 lbs more reliably as the weight will rock at the predetermined pressure as opposed to over pressurizing (up to 15 lbs) if you get the heat too high and don't turn it down.

Yes, but you don't need it unless you are doing a lot of canning at 5 or 10 pounds of pressure because the canner comes with a regulator that tells you when you hit 15 pounds. When the regulator jiggles just back off to whatever pressure you want to use is indicated on the gauge.

There is a little round dial that adjusts the gas flow on the handle, also you could turn up the gas from your tank. Be careful turning it all off.. I turn off the tank first and then hold the handle down until the fire is out. Then rotate the knob on the handle off and tight.

I think I've figured it out....I've had problems with mine staying only on high. When I first used it you could adjust it from high to low. Mine got screwed up by moving it once (I have it on a cart) and that's when I only had high afterwards. I jiggled stuff around like where the burner was at, or whatever would jiggle and now it's working fine. I got stuck on high only a couple more times and whatever I jiggled corrected it. Otherwise, I LOVE this grill....cooks so well, never had anything burn or flare up.

http://www.bonjourproducts.com/cs_main.html product site where you might get cust serv to send you the instructions.On the back of the unit is a big red button and a small "lever?" thing. Push the lever thing down until it clicks and then push the big red button. The lever is the safety and the big red button turns the gas on spark the gas into a flame.The slide on the left of the unit is a lock. AFTER you light it you can slide this back towards you to lock the flame on. The other slide on the right adjusts size of the flame.

The only thing that I can think of is that once the compressor builds up the desired pressure it will stop, activating again only once the pressure drops below the level you have it set at. The black cylinder on the top is your pressure regulator; twist it one way to increase the maximum amount of pressure, twist it the other way to decrease the max pressure. Yours might be turned all the way down, preventing any pressure from building up. Hope this helps!

I've used all the brands, it's the regulator twist at the bottom of tank, you must adjust it. All the brands of fuel has worked for me. THe key is the regulator. If it won't light, then the pressure is just too high, adjust the twist, then it will work nicely. I like this lighter and it's worked well for me and DHs works nicely too. The product description doesn't tell you about this feature, I had to figure it out by looking at lighter under a 15x magnifier. LOL, then I found the regulator twist! I emailed the seller, but they don't seem to want to add this to the description. Bad seller, good lighter!

It is controlled by water flow, when you turn on the tap the burner will start automatically. Of coz you need to switch on the burner first, which is powered by battery.

Rediranch, This summer I was a beginner also. I LOVE this canner.....it is TOTALLY idiot proof (important for me). It is in fact HUGE! If they come any bigger I don't think we would be able to pick them up even when empty. It is very heavy duty. I only have 1. important note to self.....make sure the little "nitch" on the rim of the pot is facing YOU....this is very important because I can tell you from experience, it's hard to read the dial when it is facing the back of the stove. Depending on how big your kitchen sink is, it's a little difficult to wash but that is a small price to pay for this awesome canner. Hope this helps you.

I have a JenAir 3 main burner 1 side and a rotisserie inferred the stock regulator was 1/2 psi with the 1 psi there is the same control with the burner knobs but it has a better high end for searing, the 36'' ss line is a added plus I always felt that the stock rubber line was inferior for the price of the unit. Im very satisfied with the regulator, like you I had concerns with the higher psi. I hope this helps

Once the canner has vented a steady stream of steam for ten minutes, place the weight on the vent. When it begins to rock gently then you can begin timing, your canner has come to pressure. You may need to watch it and reduce the heat to keep it at a regular rocking motion.

Sometimes, customers buy lighters from me, confusing to fill inside gas and control the fire size, you won&#8242;t confuse any more, let me show how to do for you! I will show you step by step. First, you need to find the position where can fill the fuel. It's on the right side of the watch. Before you fill the fuel, you should use the cross screwdriver to deflation the few remaining gas, when you complete the above step, you can use the butane gas fill into the gas. This position is also to control the fire size, if you are sure there is lighter gas inside the lighter, but the lighter can&#8242;t light, you can use a flat blade screwdriver to control the fire size, transfer large or small adjustment. When you complete the above two steps, you can light up the lighter. Thank you.

Adjust your flow knob. Also crank it up. I spray around 35-40 psi depending on the solution. When you set your psi are you watching what happens to the gage after you pull the trigger. My often drops and I have to readjust the pressure. Hope this helps.

This sits on the vent don't take off the dial gauge, with this is installed it will start to let off steam and keep it at the pressure you select, 5-10-15 pounds of pressure. When it starts the jiggle turn the heat down so that it moves every 4or 5 times a minute so you don't have to keep your eye on the dial all the time you are canning. It's great. Makes canning easier.
