Burner Output

[berlyn]

My daisies are pretty and blue, no yellow or orange. I just want them bigger!!!!!!!!!

I guess I'll have to nag hubby this weekend to adjust them!!

I wonder if that will get sensored!!!

You'll not want to adjust the flame any higher than recommended by CHAMBERS - the patented daisy burner has is extremely efficient and puts out a LOT of heat for it's size. Flame height isn't always an indication that it's hotter in this case.

You can also damage them if you run them higher than they're designed to be...

hi gang,
tod makes a good point; the burners are manufactured for btu output. changing gas flow etc could cause damage. in theory, anyway.
the reality is that if you dont mind burning off some of the pretty black porcelain (you all know im more into performance than looks...) then you can increase the output by adjusting the mixer cap and the air damper at the burner.
now, this has been common knowledge for natural gas with these stoves., but if you follow the service manual re propane....well, the cap needs to be tight against the mixer pin.
not true! remember, these stove were made before in line gas pressure regulators were required. natural gas is pressure regulated at the source but can vary. hence regulators built into all modern appliances. propane, (my favorite dilema for these stoves) is regulated at the tank in your yard. chances are the regulator is the same one that came with the tank. ie history. luckily, propane gas is relatively low pressure in large tanks. but the bottom line is there can be significant pressure differences.
thats why your stove has infinite gas/air ratio adjustments possible!
sorry for rambling... probably didnt give you any real answers. e mail with specifics and ill do my best.
happy holidays
