While there is some degree of control via the valve, the flame ranges
from really, really high to just really high.

The regulator must be working because the 3 burners can all be set
from very low to a normal high.

Side burners all seem to be on the high side compared to the simmer of an
indoor gas range. I think it is a guard against having to blow out in the
wind. Put a spacer to raise the pan and you'll lose some of the heat around
the sides.
