Why is my HAMPTON BAY Outdoor Fireplace valve on high but the heat is low?

  Courtney UnderwoodJul 27, 2025
  If your HAMPTON BAY Outdoor Fireplace valve is set to high but the heat output is low, accompanied by rumbling noises and a fluttering blue flame, it may be due to several factors. First, check the gas level in the propane cylinder. Ensure the supply hose isn't pinched. The burner orifice or venturi tube might be dirty or clogged, requiring cleaning. Also, make sure you followed the lighting procedure correctly, ensuring all valves were off when the tank valve was opened and that you turned the tank on slowly to allow pressure to equalize. The propane regulator might be in a 'low flow' state.

  If the burner of your HAMPTON BAY Outdoor Fireplace won't stay lit when you release the control knob, several factors could be responsible. Ensure you hold the knob in for 30 seconds after the burner lights to allow the thermocouple to heat up. High winds (over 10 mph) can cause the unit to shut down, so consider relocating the fire pit or using it in less windy conditions. Check for lava rock or debris in the ignition area, making sure the small hole below the thermocouple is clear. Clean the thermocouple and its connection to the valve, ensuring it's properly tightened. The thermocouple or valve itself may be faulty and require replacement.
