No it isn't.........
Electric -----29*F freezer and 36*F food compartment
Propane ----30*F freezer and 50*F food compartment
Those are NOT good temps.
And I suspect your method of temp measurement cause freezer temps can not be that high and food compartment get lower.
IR Guns do NOT measure fridge temps very well.
Should use thermometer in glass of water or temp probe.
Freezer has to get below 10*F before food compartment will begin cooling down'------heat gets absorbed by cold ammonia vapor in freezer evap 1ST.
Until freezer is COLD the cold ammonia vapor doesn't have any absorption ability left for food compartment
Electric is getting food compartment cold enough...which means freezer compartment temp is NOT 29*F (HAS to be much colder)
Propane is not getting same affect because it is NOT boiling as much ammonia into a vapor thru perk tube.
Poor flame, low propane pressure, dirty burner slots, sooty/carboned flue and especially the spiral baffle in flue
Heta trnasfer by electric and propane are almost the same...electric directly via conduction (element in direct contact) and propane via conduction thru a clean spiral baffle provided flame is STRONG, BLUE and just entering the flue opening
Use a different method to measure temps
Clean up burner, flue/baffle
