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

In general, I agree, but I don't think that is the case with my grill.
I've had (and used) many grills that had a side burner that was usable
for something other than bringing a 55 gallon drum of ice water to a
full boil in under 10 minutes.

Obviously, I jest, but I think you get my point. This side burner
burns way higher than any I have seen. Big yellow tipped flames that
reach up around the sides of a medium size pot. In addition, it
blackens the bottom of all pots, so I'm pretty sure there is a problem
with the burner.
