It's now obvious from OPs description that he has a manual controlled fridge.
Uses a piezo ignitor to light main flame.
Height/amount of gas flow is controlled by the thermostat position..manually.

MAX on thermostat the main flame is on continuously on high flame
Turn thermostat down towards OFF and flame gets smaller.

In high outside temps..thermostat needs to be on MAX in order to cool fridge down.

Get your 20lb. cylinder refilled at the end of week when you need to dump waste tanks and refill fresh water tank
