If you are using a refillable propane tank you can turn its valve down some.  Also have you tried to put the control half way between off and lo?

Gulf-

I had a hard time finding a new one when mine died too.  I couldn't find one and decided to try one of the single burner cook stoves.  Works pretty good, and it can be adjusted to really low heat.  Plus, you can toast up a sandwich or heat up a can of soup out on the ice.  I made a top for mine using a coffee can with one side cut out of it, but it's not really necessary.
