Yikes .... Oven Flames
Let me start by saying we are at 9000ft elevation. I used the oven a couple times and didn't notice any issues. I have to kneel down to see that the pilot light lites (electric ignitor). The couple of times I used the over when we got to our campsite all was good. Flame was about 1/2-3/4" from the oven burner. Just recently I lit it up and the flames are easily hitting the sheetmetal above the burner. If the sheet metal wasn't there I would estimate the flames at 4-5". Really.
Everything else seems to be ok. The stove burners appear normal ... maybe slightly higher. But one wouldn't notice. Furnace exhaust did seem hotter but it was 34 degrees outside so a napkin would feel hot :)
So here is what changed. We refilled our tanks at 5000ft elevation. Anyone experience this? Could this be a tank pressure issue? I tried it again after running the furnace a bit and we still had the massive flames in the oven. Regulator issue?
Thanks, Kirk
