My T4 has started acting odd. Unless I have the gas really low it sort of blows itself out, like it's all air and hardly any gas coming through, anyone else had this happen with a gas stove?

Obvious question I know but have you tried cleaning it? Maybe it's a blocked injector? Also have you tried a different gas bottle?

I've tried different bottles that didn't make any difference and not sure how to clean it to be honest.

Thanks. I'm actually on the bank at the mo but with the aid of some crimping pliers, a spoon and a hook sharpening file I seem to have got it going again. Managed to fathom out how to dismantle it and I found the tiny metal filter on the back of the jet was covered in carbon. Filed it all off and it seems a lot better now.

That's like an episode of the A Team. Do you build rocket launchers out assorted bits of tackle as well?

If anyone else ever has one pack in give me a shout

I have also bought another T4 as a spare off Amazon seeing as they are now only about £23, don't want to get caught out like that again especially in the colder months. Even if I could give the A-Team and Bear Grylls a run for their money!

There seems to be quite a few with other companies logos on like this THIS one. All just doing what Trakker have done but for cheaper rather than 3 x the price

That £11 one in your link is what I use - got it from Go Outdoors.

Never had a single issue with it in, I reckon, 6 years use.

Hi Chuffy

Just had to do an on the bank repair myself. Thanks to your information I have fixed it. In fact it's working better .
Just like to say a big thanks, I was on the verge of having to go off the the lake to buy a replacement.
Thanks again
John

Where abouts on the stove are you dismantling these and cleaning. Thought mine was a bit slow last week?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
