Hi all. Subject says it all but here it is: "THANKS!" to all the list members who read through my trials and whinings, of trying to get my Dometic to cool down on LP. Currently on LP at "Max", in just over 2 hours, I have 30F. Ambient 71.2F. I will publish a page of notes on my web site soon. Problem: It would light on LP, but since one can't see the size of flame, I couldn't tell if the flame is big enough. Basically I wasn't getting enough heat. Solution: cleaned jet by soaking it in a 50/50 water/acid solution (only a FEW minutes) then pushing solution through a few times. Rinsed and checked by seeing if I could blow a steady, straight stream of water through. Hopefully no more debris will get in there, but at least I know how to clean it! Many thanks again for ALL the help. (this one really had me stumped!) Neil.
