This has been my stove for the three years I have lived in my tiny house and I am wild about it. If you are cooking something like lentils, you may need a heat diffuser (or a slow cooker). But it is great, easy to clean, and has given me no problems. It and my propane instant hot water heater use about 10 gallons of propane every 3-4 months.
This is the 3rd stove I have purchased from Ramblewood (one GC1-28P and two GC2-48P). All three have been hooked up to 20lb propane tanks for use in campers. They are great little stoves but it's kind of a hassle to get them up and running and they have a learning curve in using them and all 3 have been the same experience. First, getting them connected. The fittings on the stove are not 1/2" NPT like they say. I don't know what thread they are as nothing fits them except the fittings they include with the cooktops. In order, this is how I had to connect them to the propane tank: stove -> included 'L' fitting -> included '1/2" NPT' to flare fitting -> flexible gas appliance line -> 1/2" to 3/8" shut-off valve -> standard 3/8" grill hose -> propane regulator -> 20lb propane tank. I don't know if this is the correct way to hook these up but it's the only way I could get a propane tank connected to the stoves. With that said, I also had to replace the seals they include with their fittings. Again, not a standard gas stove thing as they are paper gaskets used for automotive oil plugs found at ACE hardware for $.39 each (you need two, one for each fitting). Also, even though the instructions say not to use yellow Teflon tape on those fittings, I had to for them to seal. I split two fittings trying to get them tight enough (they're just pot metal, not brass) and they leaked like a sieve without that tape. And like I said above, these are not standard fittings so if you break them, you need to call Ramblewood to get replacements (which they supply free of charge (thank you Ramblewood!)).
Now that you've got the stove connected, it's time to learn how to use it. Let's just say that out of the box, the stove has high and medium until you adjust the low flame. You'll need a 3/32" x 2-1/2" flat head screwdriver to turn the screw under the knob to lower the flame. It's easy (just light the stove, turn it to low, remove the knob, stick the screwdriver down the hole and turn the screw until the flame goes as low as you want it to be without it going out). Now you've got your low setting set and you won't scorch anything. With all that said though, I wish I had a true range of flame with the knob. Imagine the knob being on low at 6 on a clock and high at 9, you really only use 7 to 7:30. Anything lower than 7 is just low and anything above 7:30 is full blast high. I don't know if this can be adjusted (the bottom of the stove is permanently sealed so you can't access the inside to adjust the air valve like a normal stove) or if this is just how these stoves are but just the slightest turn of the knob can mean the difference between boiling water and not even a simmer. I've managed to deal with that but it'd be nice if it worked like it should.
Other than those two things, they are great stoves. A little pricey for what you get but they are the cheaper than the other 12" stoves on the marketplace (Miele, Wolf, DeLonghi, Summit, etc). And for reference, it takes 12 minutes to boil 1" of water in an 11" All-Clad skillet on high compared to 11 minutes on an electric stove in the same pan.
Just got it installed 2 days ago and already one of burnet is not turning on. Very disappointed
I can use my 14 inch Volrath pans on it, so I'm pleased. It is well made and does what I expect of a quality product. It is, however, in my opinion, a bit over priced. Still, you get what you pay for.

I hook it up to a 15lb LP tank, so I use off the shelf regulator for a BBQ Grill and a 10ft hose to get going. It took me all of 10 minutes to get the thing setup and powered on. I've never owned a gas cooktop before -- This thing RULES. Once you let it run for a few minutes to bleed the air out of the lines, the flame is super consistent and predictable. I love this thing.
