There could be debris in the stack. have you cleaned it?
It is a bout a 3/4 inch tube right above the flame. There is a baffle a few inches up inside it that can catch debris.
You can use a flexible piece of wire about the diameter of a wire coat hanger to rattle the baffle which will knock the debris down.
I think I will try this next. Seems possible something could be in there blocking some of the heat.
Electric heat element transfers the heat directly to the perk tube (boiler)
Propane heat is transferred to perk tube via the spiral baffle inside stack.
Propane flame needs to be clean, steady blue and just reach the opening in stack---then spiral baffle has to be clean in order to transfer that heat correctly.
If baffle is rusted up and/or out of position it can not transfer the heat properly.
Also......gas pressure. Needs to be at least 10.5" WC with fridge gas valve open otherwise not enough fuel being burned/not enough heat generated.
