Tried for 3 hours to get 2 gallons of water to boil. Followed the directions, everything seems hooked up. Is there something I missed?

Make sure you turn on the gas on the tank fully before opening the needle valve on the regulator. There is a safety mechanism that limits flow if the regulator does not sense the full pressure from the tank. Otherwise, either the tank or the regulator may be faulty.

About 6 hours. I put a couple of gallons in after. 3 hours just to top off and check how much is evaporated in that amount of time

water goes in the pot only. why don't you google and see if you can find an instruction book

Yes it took me an hour and a half to do but I hard wired it and cut a hole in a panel for a pro install look. Pay attention to wiring diagram.. Mine has been on full time for last six months. Takes an hour to heat water from cold to hot

If the tank won't fill, but water flows out of the faucet, then you did not hook up the water correctly. You connected it to the tank outlet/faucet, instead of the tank inlet. Best of luck! The written instructions worked perfectly for me.

I had this same issue. What worked for me was turning the valve to allow for more fuel to be released. Once I did this, I had no issues starting this great lightweight stove.

and just a note...DO NOT follow the instructions of person that says plug it in and pour water. you have to let freon? settle in machine before adding water.

I used to have a picture of my setup up on the page, but it appears to have dissapeared. I attached a T to the outlet and placed a pressure tank on one outlet, and the water line to the other part of the T. I have had no issues. this is the tank i usedWatts DET-5 2.1 G Potable Water Expansion Tank for 50-Gallon Water Heaters

Some suggest it, but I didn't. You can try the boil first and then activate. If that doesn't, solve your issue, you may have a defective product and will have to contact the company for a replacement.

I have been using a turkey frier propane burner with this brew kettle without any issues. Although I have only been using about 7 gallons so far. I would imagine with more water you just may need to wait longer for the boil. The biggest thing I noticed is with the large diameter of the pot there is a greater surface area of the wort exposed so I had a lot more evaporation of water in the process.

It does take a while, but then it is very consistent. Could you pre-heat it with hot water & speed up the process by boiling the water in a kettle? Maybe use a bit less water? Mine takes a while too, I think it is just because it is a very solid devise and also I'm using it on a small gas ring.

I put cold water in. Set my induction stove to 6.5 and In 6-7 mins it's done.

It has to have enough water in it so that when it boils, it shoots up the tube to flow over the grounds. Either there wasn't enough, or you boiled it dry. If the grounds didn't get wet, then I'd say you need to make a larger batch.

I timed it by filling it to the "max" line, which is over 2x 1 cup but I wanted to get the longest reading possible. It boiled and shut off in almost 5 minutes exactly (4:58). Keep in mind, that was for 17 ounces and the tap water is especially cold right now so I can't imagine it EVER taking any longer.

I have found tht it takes awhile to get water to boil. It does heat evenly when cooking,. I don't usually còok using high heat.

If you input this model name into the web and ask for owners manual you should be able to print out the operating instructions, otherwise all that is required is to plug it in and select a temp setting or use a number between one and ten with one being the lowest and then just adjust from there. We normally use 10 to boil water quick otherwise use it between 3 and 4 and it should do just fine without getting overly hot.

have no idea - plugged in wall...check! turn timer on... check! water turns to steam within minutes.. check! possible problem with your machine and may have to send back
