Yup, did that. What about the propane stove? The coaches stove worked fine.
It's an orifice issue. Propane ovens (home/commercial) are routinely "modified" for high altitude locations.
I removed the tube holding the orifice and tried blowing through it and little if any air was coming out. Fridge worked fine for the 6 hours before we got
there. I took a fine needle and poked it then I could see light through the orifice hole. The fridge lit after that but the flame isn't right. Going to order
another orifice for it just in case. They recommend only using alcohol and compressed air to clean the orifice, maybe there was a piece of debris clogging
the hole. Are there contaminants in propane? Where would dirt come from if that was the case?
