If you buy anything other than a marine stove, it may not have the feature that shuts off the burners if they blow out or to not allow them to spew gas if someone bumps the knobs. We are VERY happy with our new Force 10. On the older model, cleaning the cast iron burner holes with drill bits made the stove top work better. If it is still low heat on the large burner, I suggest making a water column out of clear hose and checking/resetting pressure at the tank regulator to 11" of water. NOTHING will make the oven heat evenly in the old model, but a new burner with the orfice drilled out was recommended for more heat by Force 10. Clean the old burner holes there too.
