Propane Cooktop

I have a 3 burner Suburban cooktop. Is there a way to adjust the flame lower? The way it is now, there is no way to simmer anything.

Try pulling the knob off and look inside the shaft. Some models have an adjustment screw inside the shaft. Use a flat blade screwdriver to adjust the flame while it is at the minimum setting.

I have verified the propane pressure and even tweaked it down to 10.5 inches of water which helped a little. The one thing I have not done is check the pressure at the burners but I'm not real sure what it should be. I would assume the stove regulator would create a little lower than the main reg. pressure. Anyone know?

WHY would you do this??????? The LP pressure MUST be 11.5 inches and the Range has its OWN LP regulator that drops it to 10.5 inches. Now, your whole RV has inadequate LP pressure. Doug

PS, this is what happens when you don't know what you are doing:B

Verify correct LPG pressure.

Move the pan until just a part of it is being heated. That may be MM but it works.

So, why don't you buy an Attwood and install it????
I suppose I might but I just dropped 150 grand on this motorhome and really don't want to replace a brand new stove. I also realize you can put a pizza stone in the oven and a a simmer ring on the stovetop but it's a mickey mouse fix that should not have to be made.

I know it takes a lot of intellectual thinking, but why not slide the pot
off to one side of the burner,.......like I been doing for years ??

A diffuser works fine. You can buy one or just use a lid off a large tin can.

Pizza stone in the bottom of the oven will smooth out the heat fluctuations.

Get a SimmerMat from Amazon and put a large pizza stone or cast-iron griddle in the bottom of the oven.

You know.. I kind of WISH I had that problem. My Problem is the big burner is barley hot enough for the old pressure cooker.

The new pressure cooker... is electric and works very well (instant pot).
Home was where I park it. but alas the.
