I am sure it's simple but propane and matches could be trouble so I thought I had better ask. We have never used the cooktop in our trailer...it is a Suburban two burner. What is the process for lighting this, do you use a match? It doesn't seem to have a starter, each burner has a knob that has "high" and "lite" written on it.

I prefer one of those lighters you can buy with an extension on it. Make sure you haven't turned the stove on, light the lighter, then hold it to the burner and carefully turn the stove gas on while keeping the lighter flame on the burner, it should light immediately. That's kinda the old fashioned way, before built in lighters.

blackcows, For many years I used a very old fashioed propane stove. For this stove, I just turned it on high and put the match to it. Now, I am high tech and for the horse trailer stove, I just turn the burner to "lite" and use one of those Coleman clicker/sparker things. I wanted a flame one, but couldn't find one, so settled for the clicker. It works fine. I alway bleed my lines down when I shut off the propane (Let the fridge run until it kicks off). For this reason, in order to get a quick start up on the fridge, I always fire up a stove burner first to pull the propane through the lines. This does take a bit of time, so I've got the burner on lite and I am click, click, clicking for a bit. Love my stove and the smell of coffee in the morning!

Yeah blackcows, but it's getting cold now. Nothing better than being able to make your coffee first thing in the morning, even before getting dressed, without going outside!
