Like many campers, our Ultimate came with a SMEV two burner gas cooker. Basically a good unit but with two glitches that affect (cant say why) just the large burner.

A. The auto spark igniter doesnt ignite the large burner. :(

B. After a short time the safety cutout cuts off the gas even though there is a healthy flame. :(

Through trial and error I have found that somehow the burning gas fouls the igniter and the safety cutout sensor so they dont work properly. I can make the burner work reliably only if I give the igniter and the safety cutout a quick polish each morning with a strip of 400 grit wet and dry emery paper.

If anyone ( even SMEV) know a better way to achieve reliable working, post it here!
