I am trying to cook on my stove, i've never really used a propane stove before.The pan gets hot, but I have trouble browning ground beef that is broken up for taco meat, the pan cools down and won't get hot enough again.Am I missing something for turning up the pressure or flow so it can get hotter? Or is this just the life that I get to have with the RV?

Mine gets as hot as a regulat stove.

I added the meat - slowly so the pan doesn't lose heat rapidly. Stirred it, broke it up, added a little more. By the time I added all of it, the pan was cooled down quite a bit, and again is not browning the meat and does not get back to sizzling.I've done this meal 100 times on my NG stove at home and never had an issue. Even did it on an electric stove a few weeks ago with no problem.

Sounds like an issue with the stove's eye. Can you try a different eye?

I guess it depends on the btu output of the burner, they aren't all the same.

What color is the flame/Turn on and light all burners, what does the flames look like?They should be a good blue flame.What kind of rig? Have you tried turning the tank(s) off, then back on very slowly. Newer tanks do not like to be turned on rapidly!It could be the regulator. I would not try to adjust it, just get a new one!
