    I have such a cylinder and a wind-up cooker http://kuchenkigazowe.com.pl/kuchenki-nakreca...kuchenka-gazowa-nakrecana-21cmbutla-1-kg.html
    However, despite the fact that there is still a lot of gas in the cylinder, even after unscrewing the valve on the cylinder to max. the flame is too small. And it takes about 15 minutes to boil half a liter of water in kettles. I took this burner apart, there is some rubber inside and a metal insert. I washed the metal surfaces with a solvent, but it did not help. The gas outlets are not obstructed. It looks like the stove has something like a reducer that limits the gas pressure too much. Can you do something about it?

    Hello.
    Are you winding up the burner too much on the cylinder? There is a rubber gasket in the cylinder valve, which, if the burner is screwed in too much, may deform, preventing the gas from flowing freely.

    Thanks, I guess so. I'll check it by the way

    Turn the "silver" nut that regulates the air supply to the burner.
    The gas + air mixture is the basis.

    Actually. Unscrewing the burner gave the effect, but only after a few revolutions, until the flame turned yellow. On the other hand, covering the holes on the side of the burner with your fingers caused the flame to increase from the blue to a blue yellowish color. There should be an elastic plate on the burner to cover the holes and adjust the mixture composition, but it is not there. I think it remains to make some extra money from a piece of metal

    Maybe don't be up to speed. Badge?
    The nut itself regulates the air sufficiently.
    Tighten the bottle burner "by feeling".
    You can twist the gasket and there will be a leak.
    I have not met a gasket to "clog" the gas supply to the burner.
    Turn the cap until you get the desired effect.
    I guess that's it ...

    but which nut? After all, I wrote that in order to increase the flame I had to unscrew the burner from the cylinder by a few turns. And it's like that there are already slack in the thread. And I saw the plate on another burner

    This metal clasp is the nozzle. You have to pull it out and blow it against the current with compressed air. If it doesn't help, buy a new one.

    It turned out that the cause was prosaic. There was already a residual gas in the cylinder. After the loading, the pressure and the flame immediately increased. But just in case, I blown this nozzle - the hole in it is microscopic. :D
    Thanks to everyone for your help :D

    because almost all butane is left in the cylinder, and it evaporates lazily in relation to propane. At low temperatures, the stove may not work even with an almost full bottle, as its content will be butane alone.
    I had a similar case with such a stove on a plot in winter. I thought there was only butane left in the cylinder, but the new cylinder was the same. Cleaning the nozzle with a wire helped, blowing it with compressed air did not do anything. The problem was finding such a thin wire. I don't know how now, in the past, the burner had wires for cleaning the nozzle.

    Maybe a wire from the bicycle cable (brake or derailleur)? I measured it with a caliper, it comes out about 0.2 mm. This is steel

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around troubleshooting a top-mounted gas cooker that exhibits a weak flame despite having a full gas cylinder. The user initially suspects a pressure reducer issue, as the flame remains small even after adjusting the cylinder valve. Responses suggest checking the rubber gasket in the cylinder valve, adjusting the air supply nut on the burner, and cleaning the nozzle with compressed air. The user discovers that residual gas in the cylinder was the primary issue, and after refilling, the flame improved significantly. Additional advice includes using a thin wire for cleaning the nozzle, with suggestions for alternatives like bicycle cable wire.
