My camp stove went from sputtering to roaring after one simple fix

I bought this little two burner stove last year and it always had this weak, uneven flame... figured that was just how cheap stoves worked. Then I watched a video where a guy cleaned out the burner jets with a paperclip tip, so I tried it. Took maybe 10 minutes to do both burners and the difference was night and day. Now I actually get a strong blue flame instead of that sad orange flicker. Has anyone else dealt with a stove that just wouldn't cook right until you gave it a good cleaning?

Did you feel like a hero after fixing it, or just realize you'd been cooking on a weak flame for two years like a total amateur? Because I definitely fit into that second category.

Yeah I had the same problem with my propane grill last summer. Pulled the burner tubes off and used a wire brush on the holes plus blew them out with compressed air. That thing cooked like a dream after that and I felt stupid for not doing it sooner for like two years.
