I had one many years ago and it hasn't changed much. I see what people are saying about being able to 'turn' down the heat. I suggest a piece of rubber (like a piece of tire etc) or a piece of cardboard etc and put it between the dial and the stove so the dial doesn't move. That should take care of the problem. You shouldn't have to do that, agreed but in the meantime that is what I am doing. Also sent email to Coleman asking about this, let's see what they say. I will update when I get a reply. For that reason I am giving it 4 stars.
