    Hey guys, I recently purchased a 425E and have finally got it cleaned and working. The only problem that I've encountered is a significantly weaker flame on my auxiliary burner. Seems the problem is there are only 2 pairs of burner rings instead of the original 3 and they are slightly pancaked.
    Does anyone know where I can get just 1 ring and 1 spacer for the auxiliary burner?
    I hate to have to buy a whole new burner.

    I'll check next time I'm out in the shop. Feel free to remind me in a couple days if I haven't gotten to it or remembered.

    Yeah I saw that full burner replacement and would rather just find a ring and spacer if possible. No need for the full replacement, i figure leave that for someone who actually needs the whole thing.

    Be aware that 425s usually have a weaker secondary burner. You need a 413 to get a second powerful burner. Brad

    Do you think the lack of a ring and spacer can contribute to an even weaker flame? Mine is pretty bad.

    Have you cleared the pipe, maybe a spider web?

    Pretty dang clean but im gonna put a pipe cleaner through it tonight when I get off work. I know spider webs laugh at compressed air
    Being a machinist i can make a spacer if need be. But the corrugated burner ring wouldn't be worth the effort plus the 2 on there are slightly pancaked.

    Some people have tried different numbers of spacers and rings. I have to believe Coleman engineers tried many different combinations with their stoves. I would make it the original number, personally. The 425 stoves have a weaker secondary, but it should much stronger than a simmer. However, it is not as hot as the primary.

    Old Coleman Parts will have the burner rings.

    I'm in complete agreement about needing the extra ring and spacer as it was engineered that way. I just can't bring myself to may 8.00 plus shipping for an entire auxiliary burner assembly when all I need is .50 cents worth of parts.

    @Marc said he was looking for the part. Let him have some time to sort that out.
    I have a hard time paying for parts on a 10 dollar stove.

    Embarrassed to admit I honestly just plain forgot yesterday. Spent a couple hours out in the shop and checking upstairs for parts never once occurred to me until I was back in the house, showered, and more ready for bed than a trek across the yard. There's a reason I asked for a reminder. I need to do that, I owe someone else parts as well.

    Please don't dont think I'm in any rush or hurry. I was merely replying to others comments. You guys are immensely helpful and there is a wealth of knowledge here.

    I find that I turn the stove down a bit when only using the main burner, and up to use both.
    I tap the generator after it gets hot to help clear the 'pipe'. Cool to see the orange sparks of dislodged material.

    Only stove I had left with burner rings was a 425. The auxiliary burner was smaller. Which size do you need? Stacked here for illustration.

    Marc, you are the man!! The auxiliary burner is what I am needing. Thank you immensely. Kind of hard to believe you can't buy just the rings. Shoot me an email,and I can get you my address and such . Again, thank you sir.
