Yes, this is way off topic, however hopefully someone has heard of this.
We use a propane stove at my hunting camp. It uses the old style 'glow bar' to ignite the stove. Once the 'bar' is hot enough, a thermostat switch closes to 'fire' the 120VAC Gas valve. Gas comes in, ignites, good to go.
This stove used to be natural gas and has been converted properely to propane.
The issue is that it works fine plugged into household 120VAC, but will not work off of the Generator Voltage. The Glow Bar (which is electrical) just 'glows' so to speak, nothing else happens.
The local Propane Technicians said that this system will never work from a Generator, as the voltage is not regulated enough. They have come accross this problem many times.
Any suggestions? Filters? Caps? Chokes?

p.s. I need to get away from computers for a weekend.
