    Attwood/Wedgewood Range Gas Mixture Adjustment

    Is there a way to adjust the air/propane ratio that is going through the burners of a Attwood/Wedgewood Propane Gas Range. Depending on our location, my burners burn a lot richer with fuel and blacken the bottom of my cooking pans. I would like to adjust the mixture if possible. Thanks
