I have a few of those style, some times you need more than one.

I DO like the ones by Lodge better though...

I had the exact same stove. Loved it!

On another note, gas appliances tend to be built with higher btus now - it痴 a marketing thing.

Also how old it the regulator on your propane tank/line. They don稚 last forever and should be replaced every 10 years.

Enjoy!

Hey Marchana, I don't believe my tank regulator would be a problem. It is not even a year old. We bought a buried tank and had it put in last spring. I expect the adjustment screws will solve the problem, but I am not there right now... I'll have to wait a couple of weeks!

I was going to try to explain to you how to convert the regulator on your range, but I found this. If you have this style regulator on the back of your range this is all you have to do. then check the pressure with the manometer .....Converting A Maxtrol Gas Regulator for Natural Gas (NG) or Propane (LP) - YouTube

You can check inches of water column with this....Amazon.com: Yellow Jacket 7875 Water Manometer: Home Improvement

should have about 11 inches from propane

The electronic igniter may not work, but everything will operate when started with a match.

The reason I asked was a Lowes sales rep said the new ones had something like valve that had to have electricity to allow gas to flow.

Mine works just fine by lighting it with a match...

Not that, that matters much, as you can always cook on a BBQ or in my case, I also have a wood fired cook stove in my garage that's on wheels. Just push it outside and fire it up with scrap off my BSM.

We had a gas stove that you could light the burners with a match if the power was out, but you could not light the oven. There was an electronic igniter block that had to heat up before the gas valve would open. No way to light it manually.

I see you have the high BTU burner as well, did you get the wok cradle?

Man, at least twice a week haha Chinese Take Out Recipes - The Woks of Life

No wok cradle, Wakey. We use a large cast iron skillet for most things. It was a 都econd from the lodge store and was super cheap with a tight fitting lid. You cannot tell it is a second.

Thanks for posting the link to "Woks of Life". Santa brought me a new Lodge cast iron wok to use on our gas cooktop.

Their recipes are the best I've found, yet.

So far i've only attempted the "take out" section and they have a huge glossary and many suggested kitchen tools.

Stir fry wrecks the stove but it is worth it.
