James Cook Forum

we are just back from our first trip of the season, a quick two nights in Algonquin Park in Ontario Canada.
everything was working great when we left and for the first day - kuhlbox, water, cooktop, batteries.

Though I noticed that while one of the cooktop burners (the rear left hand) was very strong the other was very weak. so weak that it didn't even get hot enough to stay lit.

the only thing I can think of right away is that the gas line leading to that weak burner is clogged somehow - a spider web, a bug, dirt.
and so tomorrow I will remove the cooktop and run a piece of thin wire through the feed tube.

has anyone else had this problem? what did you do?

Hi Pit,

der vordere, rechte Brenner ist generell schwächer als der hintere, linke.
Allerdings erscheint mir die Flamme auf dem Bild auch sehr schwach.
Vielleicht ein Problem am Betätigungsventil ?

The burner heads are fixed with a
Kind of bayonet mount.
Turn boldly to the left when
If possible, hold it up from below, then
you're holding your head in your hands. Clean it up nicely, or else it'll leak.

Between the body and the head, I had
installed the 1-mm gasket back then.

Is the gas cylinder full, and is the correct pressure regulator installed in the gas cylinder cabinet?

brilliant.
that explains the possible problems very clearly.

many thanks

I'll get to work today
