    Propane cooktop
    I have a GE gas cooktop that runs on propane. It doesn't seem very powerful, I have used much cheaper stoves that run on propane that boil water much faster. Is there any way I can increase its output ?

    Where I would start is by checking your gas pressure. You will need a pressure gauge to achieve this. Perhaps your gas pressure isn't high enough. However DO NOT adjust the pressure without using a gauge, and NEVER adjust the pressre higher than what the data plate calls for.

    You may also want to check the orfice to make sure its not clogged on the burner.

TW and WC on a propane tank [ 1 Answers ]
