    I bought a new gas cooker about 3 yrs ago, and there seems to be no power in the burners or grill, very weak, the regulator strength is 29Mbar, and I have bought three new ones thinking that it was the regulator that was at fault, it is butane gas, is it that the regulator is too weak, I am at my wits end

    After three years and multiple regulators, I assume you've verified that the cooker is fitted with jets for bottled and not natural gas?

    I never thought of that, but I had a gas installer rig it all up for me, so hopefully he did his job

    Has it never worked properly?

    You didn't answer my question. If it never worked properly, it's probably down to the jets. In some cases they supply a second set, in others you have to buy it as a part. Check the owner's manual.
