Have I got this wrong? I have read several times that when a natural
gas stove is converted to propane that it puts out less heat. Looking
in Machinery's Handbook it says that propane has more heat per volume
and a higher flame temperature. So how can the stoves burn cooler?
Thanks,

Well, you use less propane -- the orifice is MUCH smaller. But I always
thought a gas stove with 12kbtu burners had 12kbtu burners whether it
was hooked to NG or propane. Go figger.
