The valve serves as some form of regulator and the control knob has several "detents" however the lowest setting is far to hot for "simmer" and you will end up with scorched food in the bottom of your pan. There is also a tendency to blacken the exterior bottom. This would be and indication of a low air to fuel mix/ratio (carborizing flame). It's still a nice little stove and if these problems were corrected, I would use it most of the time, even at the dock. Steve s/v Good Intentions |
