The secret to control on the big burner stoves is to use a variable psi regulator. A straight pressure regulator provides full blown pressure and the stove knobs can't deal with that. A variable psi regulator allows one to reduce gas flow before getting to the burner knobs.
Huh?
A propane regulator is designed to be set at a pressure of 11" columns. They are not designed to be adjusted other than when first installed.
Never heard the term "straight pressure".
Now if you are referring to the grill regulators that have a knob on them, this knob regulates the flow of gas AFTER the regulator section. It does not control pressure.
Stove "knobs" (valves) are designed to perform with that pre-set 11" columns of pressure.
Maybe we are talking about different things. My variable regulator has a dial on it that allows for adjustable gas flow. I'm speaking of large or bbq size tanks, not the small, 1 lbs cans.

I am looking for a propane stove that can be easily regulated. We have the basic Coleman which sounds like a jet plane when you start it and is hard to regulate. Looking at more expensive units if they are good operating. Not sure what to get. I would appreciate your recommendations. Thank you
