you always want to see a blue color flame. A gas flame appearing yellow or orange in color or behaving with pops of yellow or orange indicates an improper ratio of oxygen for combustion. Often this improper combustion is temporary and could be caused by dust particles or a dirty burner that needs cleaning.
A orange, yellow or red flames means incomplete combustion of the gas. Again, remembering back to high school, if you starved the Bunsen burner of air, the combustion process was incomplete and the gas flame colour burned as sooty yellow or red flames and at a cooler temperature.
A blue flame from your furnace or gas stove indicates that the gas has become completely combustible. If your burner flame is yellow, orange or red, this usually indicates that it`s not receiving enough air for complete combustion.
Remember that a gas stove is not a vented appliance. Therefore, you should only use it for cooking, not heating. If you do see orange flames, this could indicate a higher level of carbon monoxide, which is why you need to call a professional as quickly as possible.
The burners may need cleaning or adjusting if you see orange, yellow or red flames instead of blue flames. The orange colour warns you that the gas stove has inappropriate combustion and may emit treacherous carbon monoxide gas (CO) levels.
An orange flame means the gas is not burning correctly, there may be combustibles around or in the air, it could show signs of high humidity in the home, or there is carbon in the air that is being burned in the flame.
Orange flames come about when you have an improper flow of gas, causing the flame to change colors. It needs to be addressed because it can signal an excess of carbon monoxide in the gas flow, something that is dangerous for any household.
Orange or yellow propane gas flames give you a warning that your propane gas is not being completely burned. When these color flames occur on the burners of a propane cooktop, the cause is usually related to a burner being out of adjustment or blockages in the air inlet, such as from small, burnt food particles.
During a complete combustion reaction the hydrocarbon fuel burns with a blue flame while during an incomplete combustion reaction the hydrocarbon fuels burns with a yellow sooty flame.
Your gas flames should be blue. If they`re yellow and orange, there could be cause for concern. Sometimes, moisture in the air can change the color of your flames. This is usually due to the use of a humidifier somewhere nearby—easily fixed by turning the humidifier off.
Blue flames are the hottest, followed by white. After that, yellow, orange and red are the common colours you`ll see in most fires. It`s interesting to note that, despite the common use of blue as a cold colour, and red as a hot colour – as they are on taps, for instance – it`s the opposite for fire.
When it comes to gas combustion, blue is good. It means that the gas is completely combusting, and no carbon monoxide is being generated. This means that the flame is safe.
A yellow flame indicates improper adjustment and a possibility of excessive carbon monoxide. Do not use the oven as a source of heat.
Flame Colors & What they Indicate

A blue flame is an indication that all is well with your gas appliance: this means there is the proper amount of gas and oxygen is being released from the burner. Red or yellow flames means there could be a problem, such as incomplete combustion.

The main color in the flame changes with the temperature. Something is “red hot” from 977 degrees Fahrenheit to 1,830 degrees. Orange flames burn at 2,010 to 2,190 degrees. The hottest flame, white, burns at an incredible 2,370 to 2,730 degrees.
The yellow colour comes from the soot particles produced by the flame. Yellow or red flames only burn at around 1,000 degrees C. This flame is dangerous as it produces more poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
One of the most common causes for weak or uneven flames on your gas cooktop is because the burner head has grown dirty. It is something that can easily happen over time. The burner head is surrounded by small slots that allow the gas to be let out and ignited to produce flames.
All flames on gas hobs should burn crisp blue. A weak yellow or orange flame should not be present. Dark or sooty staining around gas appliances including gas stoves and chimneys.
Oxygen is one of the reactants in combustion and therefore it is vital that there is a sufficient supply of it. Lack of air supply could create an orange flame as well as meaning you are competing with the flame for oxygen, reducing your own airflow.
Check a few things: Regulator Pressure The most common cause of yellow flames is low gas pressure from the regulator, which is an easy fix that you can do at home.
Under normal conditions, a pure blue flame indicates complete efficient combustion. If you see orange in the flame, this indicates incomplete combustion, and the creation of carbon monoxide.
There are signs that you can look out for which indicate incomplete combustion is occurring and may result in the production of CO; Yellow or orange rather than blue flames (except fuel effect fires or flueless appliances which display this colour flame). Soot or yellow/brown staining around or on appliances.
But the best and easiest way to improve combustion, increase fuel efficiency, and boost your engine`s power is to start regularly using a fuel additive. Fuel additives are carefully composed chemical mixtures which are designed to bond with your fuel, making it last longer and burn more completely.

I just hook up a brand new burner on my bbq, the problem is that the right side of the burner is not pumping the same amount of flame or heat as the left side. What is the problem and how do i fix it
ANSWER : Check the bendable hose connection. Make sure there is no air leaks.

Machine will stop adjusting resistance. On start up the machine will usually work. I can go through the calibration procedure and it will calibrate and work normally for 4 or 5 resistance adjustments. It will then stop adjusting. It acts like there is a cable pulled and refuses to adjust, even though I am not getting the warning telling me to “Release cable”
I have modified the wiring harness so that the wires do not fall off from the stepper motor, so this is not the problem. If I shut the machine down and leave it for several minutes, it will come back and work normal again… for a while. I am wondering if there is a problem with the sensors that are detecting a cable pull? Is there a way to disable those sensors to see if that is the problem
ANSWER : I would think that your problem has possibly to do with a faulty power supply, component, see to my mind it is a thermal problem as it heats up,it goes faulty? The Voltage changes and it goes out of spec.. When left to cool, it then is OK… Usually, & from my experience this is a thermal problem. To see obtain some Freeze Spray, from radio Shack or similar,and spray components on the main power board, and others too, use it on any large heat sinked components and see if when you do this the fault clears. Then replace that component(s).

Or as you suggest the sensors that feed the inputs maybe with sensors though one has little option but to replace them and see if this clears the problem.

Gas Grill – flame always stays on high even though I’ve turned in on low
ANSWER : Hey buddy that use to happen to me so what i started to do was once the fire was high i use to turn the gas off i hope this helped.

My MSR Pocket Rocket will no longer light. Prior to the complete malfunction, the flame started to become much weaker, and then finally, the burner just would not light. I’ve removed the rubber o-ring on the bottom, uncovering a small hole, but am unsure as to whether this would have anything to do with gas delivery to the burner area. My guess is that there is some sort of buildup that is plugging the passageway through which gas would stream, preventing me from being able to light the burner, but am unable to locate an issue, since it appears I cannot disassemble the unit.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you,
Scott
ANSWER : Hi, chances are the jet is clogged – I’ve experienced this myself on the same stove.

I would leave the rubber o ring alone, the chances of the hole there being blocked are slim, it is more likely to be the outlet jet you can see throught the holes on the riser tube under the burner head.
This tube can be unscrewed – you may need to put something through like a pen for leverage. Once you have done this you can remove the tube and you will see the tiny jet in the top of the brass nut on the knurled base of the stove. Then its simply a matter of finding a thin enough wire or pricker to prod araound in the jet. I have a fine wire brush that works well, although I have only had to do it once in several years.
Put it all back together and you should be back to full power – the whole job takes two minutes tops.
The other thing I did was screw the riser tube back hand tight only – this means I can dismantle and clear the jet when camping if required. It doesnt affect performance or safety. I put a strand of the wire in a blob of blu tak in the plastic case the stove comes with – job done! Hope this helps.

Flames shooting up from back of Coleman stove.
ANSWER : Buy a new one. do not attempt to use this one again. There could be a pin hole in the propane lines or just a small crack. If you can hear it then there’s a problem.

However if you really want to fix this one try putting water on the propane lines and then putting on a new tank and opening the valve. DO NOT LIGHT THE STOVE. where there are bubbles there is your leak. When you find it seal it with a Flame retardent sealent or clamp the line. Also I believe Lowe’s sells parts that may work. just find out which line is leaking and replace the whole line.

I highly recommend just buying a new one and destroying the old one. DO NOT just throw it away please. Some one out there will grab it and try and use it. They will find out the hard way and maybe get hurt badly themselves or hurt someone else. Just imagine the guy who grabs it and goes camping with his family. Him and his son start it up. the son is right next to the unit. The guy fires it up and boom the son gets burned. Is it just me or would you feel bad if you knew this guy. I have seen it first hand. trust me it sucks. A buddy of mine did this and his son was in hospital for 3 days. he said he will never do that again.

So for safety sake please just buy the new one. don’t take unnessecary risks if you don’t have too.
