Atwood Stove Increase in BTU's?

The typical Atwood stove has one 9600btu and two 6000 btu's in the back. Is there anyway to increase the heat output of the three? Even getting the other two up to the same 9600 would be a start.

We do a lot of cooking while we're on the road - and the limiting factor of heat output makes it difficult to boil things effectively.

Most of the time, we're using a butane unit outside (and creating wind baffles around to minimize the heat loss.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

What model is this Atwood? Ours from maybe 2002 ( rig built in Oct 2002) has three equal sized burners but I have no info on their BTUs. They each have a big flame on High to boil a pot ok.

Each burner has a different length /shape of tube on it to go to the front propane connection that feeds them, so if you swapped out, you would need to get the tube to be the right one for each burner. Take the cover off and have a look to see what is involved there. (ours is a bit of a struggle to get the top off--push it back and then pry it up hard. Getting it back on is worse, the front catch bends so you have to bend it back just so and then get it in there --use a bigger hammer sort of thing! :( )

IMO call Atwood and ask if you can swap out the burners or not.
