Propane tank manufacturers are now required to use Type 1 tank valves. The Power Stove comes standard with a Type 1 regulator inlet fitting to match.
|
Older propane tanks may not feature the industry standard TYPE 1 fitting. Because of the inherent safety features, Woodland recommends you only use tanks with TYPE 1 fittings.

| Heavy black soot forms on stove and cookware. |
Stove is turned too low to burn efficiently.
Flame modifier is not in use during low level cooking.
