Outdoor Kitchen Burners Weak?

Hi there, we have a Sprinter 324FWBHS that is new this year, and we love it. One thing we have noticed though, when using the outdoor kitchen the burners don't seem to put out the BTU's that I was expecting. Even on high, we let it heat about 6 quarts of water for 35 minutes and did not boil. Is this common or is something over-regulating my propane pressure? Flame is blue, but not what I would call an "aggressive" flame. It is easily blown around by the slightest wind.

Thanks!

    Good question, we never have used the interior burners, avoid adding heat to the inside of the camper. I will look up the specs on the outdoor burners and see what I can find out about them.

    Typical RV stove top burners (interior) have 6000BTU burners and a 9000BTU high output burner (BTU based on burner valve size---flow rate)

    You would need to look up specs for the outdoor 2 burner cook top........Brand/Model

    They may be a lower BTU style due to limited cook area.

    How do outdoor burners compare to indoor burners.....flame height/size/heating times?
