Why at the lowest setting is there still a 1 inch flame at the top of the cylinder that is half-blue, half-orange and only on one side?

It could be two reasons: the wick that can never be 100% on level and second the kerosene tank may be giving slight pressure to one side. Re-adjust your wick manually because it could be slightly too high.

Is your unit new or have you had it for some time? Problem normally w/ kerosene heaters from my experience is the wick or fuel is contaminated. I would contact mfg. they normally have been able to help me with this type of problem.

1. Only one cylinder at a time, especially if you want to use the ignition condition checking mode.2. The range can be up to about 500mm, depending on interference, on a single cylinder engine such as an outboard or a golf car. however, it needs to be a lot closer for a multi cylinder engine.

The flame is adjustable, just like your regular cooktop. I cooked everything from fried eggs on low to stir fry on the little thing and it worked great.

The amount of warm air it blows is adjustable at four levels. I cannot recall the flame changing. We have enjoyed ours.

The flame level is somewhat adjustable, yes. It is intended to be operated just below the 'smoke' level, with little visible flame but with a healthy red glow, as shown in the picture but, it is not freely adjustable. Basically, it's on or off, very little flame and no smoke.

The vent is located at the top in the middle of the unit. Right above the flame.

I have not worried about flame height only the heat given off by the grill--that is enough heat to cook the food. The flame is a nice blue flame (which is the hottest) not the yellow flame which is yellow due to unburned carbon and therefore cooler.

Have to use super sharp scissors, then a nice hot flame. The center strands melt slower, so try to move slowly. I keep it in the blue part of the flame on a pocket lighter, but recently purchased a propane torch for the steadier heat. Try not to let it actually start on fire, though, it discolors the ends. Good luck!

I haven't installed mine yet, but typically if the pilot doesn't stay lit after holding the valve in the pilot position for a minute after lighting, it is usually either a fault thermocouple or the pilot flame isn't positioned correctly on the tip of the thermocouple. I am assuming that your gas pressure has been checked and the pilot flame is adjusted correctly.

Flame is short about 1' to 2' at the most. Puts out a blue flame and will torch anything. We use them for starting brush piles on fire in farm fields in spring clean up. Melts ice extremely fast.

Pot is top of the line. I agree it could be that your burner will not go low enough. A flame tamer works great.

It is not...also 2 strokes don't have a combustion problem. If it pings...it's a tuning issue.

Yes, it has a knob on the side of the regulator/flow control that goes from off to high. But, the knob from low to high reall does not change the overall flame strength that much...you are pretty much always cooking at "high" and that is okay.

I have not experienced a problem with a low flame setting. However, the control is a bit touchy down at the lowest point.

Do you mean the main flame cuts off and must be reignited? We've never had a problem with our natural gas unit. Is your's propane or natural gas? Low line pressure could be the problem as could be the O2 senser.

Make sure you put a good amount of fuel in first. After that hold the flame on it for about 10 seconds. If it still doesn't light, check to make sure it's still damp on the inside and try again. Note, that its not going to be a visible flame but you might see it glow orange sometimes and only put what you need for that specific time and don't fill it expecting to use it later or in a couple of days, I tried this and learned quick that its not like there lighters. So soon after filling it, it needs to be lit otherwise it won't light up.

It's not much of a control. There is a knob to adjust the height of the flames inside but I generally keep watching the temperature guage that is on the lid.
