My Astoria two group Lever heats up in 20 minutes or less on propane when it's 70-something degrees out. It's faster than on its 110v option. I also wonder if your resting flame height is trying to do the job of the primary flame. The adjustments for each are fiddly, but once they're dialed in they don't need much.

I don't have my machine set up at my current location and I miss it. I do have a vintage two group Cimbali Lever project in the final stages of assembly, and I want to gas power it badly.
