How To Fix Low flames Or Low Temperature From Gas Stove Burner?

Low flame, low temperature could be that the gas regulator is not properly fitted onto the gas bottle. Reset the regulator by turning off the cooktop. Make sure the gas regulator knob is in "OFF" position, and disconnect the hose from the gas cylinder bottle. Note that most gas regulators are designed as to be fitted to the valve, if only its handle is in "OFF" position. Never try to attach or remove the regulator from the cylinder valve unless the regulator handle is in the "OFF" position. 

Now, with no flames on, remove seal cap from the automatic valve, place the gas regulator onto the valve and push down firmly and vertically. You should be able to hear a "click" sound, which means the regulator is securely fitted to the gas bottle.

Another reason why the gas regulator would give low heat when turned on, is that the pin inside which works as a chamber room where it gets gas released, decreases due to continuous frictions/usage. There is no fixed repairs for gas regulators, so you need to install a new regulator, as they cannot be replaced.

Lastly, before you start using your gas stove, make sure you check of the gas inside would be enough for your next cook time. One of the main reason for low heat, low temperature is no or little LPG gas is left in the gas cylinder bottle. You can check using a scale. The difference between the scale reading and the tare weight should indicate approximately how much is remaining in the gas cylinder bottle.
