LP Take out Stove issues

Need some input concerning my Wedgwood 3 burner LP stove.  We just bought the PUP a little over a week ago. While trying to check everything out, I put the stove on the side of the camper and connected the LP line.  I lit the first burner and after a good flame was established I lit the second and third burners, with each consecutive lighting the other burner's flame went down to almost nothing. With all three going the there was barely any flame on each.  The only way to have a decent flame was to only have one burner on.
I turned them all off and opened the lid and I did not see any regulation or adjustment means.
Surely something is amiss, I can not imagine having three burners and only able to use one at a time. Am I missing something.

A good cleaning and/or try the inside connection.

At the connection, right at the hose to stove, do you have that valve all the way open?  Can you see anything on the hose that is pinched?  My hose goes into a interior storage cabinet, so I always check, before using stove outside, that the line is not crimped by something in that cabinet.

Test the inside stove. If you have the same problem, it is time to replace the regulator on the connection to the propane tank. They are not very expensive ($30 +-)

See troubleshooting page 11

BURNER LIGHTS, BUT FLAME IS TOO SMALL
Improper gas pressure------------------------------------------Check for gas leaks, have regulator checked by qualified LP gas technician
Improper air/gas mixture --------------------------------------Adjust air shutter if applicable
Problem burner valve --------------------------------------------Replace burner valve
Blocked orifice ------------------------------------------------------Clean with toothpick

Brother, I like all the reply's above. The only other thing I would look for is maybe a gas line that is crimped or if someone for some strange reason added another regulator on the line going to the outside. If the stove inside does the same thing, I would look at the regulator. Good luck and Happy camping this weekend!

Thanks for the responses, I'll check all these things out. Looking forward to taking the NTU PUP out this weekend for our first camping trip (local campground of course).
Again, thanks for the responses.

I would lean toward a good cleaning/blowing out.

WOOHOO!!!! Got it resolved this afternoon.  All the suggestions here were good. The actual problem was that A DIRT DAUBER had found it's way into the quick connect nipple on the stove and into the copper line.  Took the copper line off, fished around inside with a piece of wire, blew it all out with my air compressor and THREE GREAT FLAMES coming from the three burners.
Now, "I'm cooking with Gas" (Southern for It works great). And yes Thursday evening I will be cooking on the gas stove also.
Thanks for all the responses.
There's an old saying that goes something like this: "If you hear the sound of hoof beats outside, look for horses and not Zebras". Meaning look for and check the simple and obvious things first.

Never heard that before, but I always check the easy and usually cheap routes first. 🙂
