Hello, I have a new Vermont Castings Radiance gas stove (converted to propane) that I installed before this winter. I like the stove and so far things are working well, but I have one question or issue with the stove. When I have it in thermostat mode and I have the temperature set via the remote the stove will turn on, but the flame starts off high and always goes low after a few seconds. Even if I go into the flame height option in the remote and turn it all the way up it will beep and accept the setting, the flame will go high, and then a few seconds later it will go to low again.

Is this what it is supposed to do, or is there an issue with the stove? It does seem to keep the temperature at the level I set it to, even though it is running a lot right now with the single digit temps. Just looking to know if this is expected behavior or not. Thanks
Kris
