you are right..Anthony..!!

if the combustion is perfect, then LPG must give a blue flame..!!!

[zaldphilnathan]

wow this is nice video...., may i ask why my stove burner giving good equal flame every start clicked and it lower the flame suddenly without even adjusting and i can't put it in medium nor high flame, i did clean the burner and i don't see if there is a problem with it aside from low flame? thank you in advance

LPG flames should burn clear blue without yellow tips or soot;yellow tips with soot emitted indicate you have a problem with aeration settings or clogged burners.

Great video. Thanks.

@zaldphilnathan its just because the tube carrying the gas to the burner (12.7OD) steel tube is fully rusted from inside and this will cause blockage in the gas passage this may temporarily look alright but its not, use gasoline tube for best result for a long time

A flame lifting off the burner is indicative of too much air, although it can sometimes happen with older LPG cooker grill frets on old LPG cookers as it warms up. A blue flame with excessive yellow tips and black soot on pans/kettles is indicative of too much gas in the flame and not enough combustion air ie aeration,it can also mean burner airways are obstructed preventing proper combustion. Butane displays blue flames with slight yellow tips,propane shows a complete blue flame without soot.

nice.. n thanks.

Another thing that can cause yellow tipped flames and soot on LPG burners is clogged burner airways;once these are cleared of debris combustion will improve with a clear blue flame.

@ALdraim Also,i've heard of people with refillable LPG cylinders on motorhomes getting poor or contaminated LPG leading to sooting on appliance burners. I think the mixture could be causing problems, switch to propane alone or butane and that could solve your problem.

[ALdraim]

I have a 450 L tank that I use. The gas company says the gas is LPG that is a mixture of Propane and butane at equal portions and minor quantity of other hydrocarbons substances. As for the burners, as I mentioned in my first comment, they are just two CS galvanized pipes with holes in them. I couldn't find burners that will fit in the brick oven in that size. I see restaurants around here use the same burners as well.

[AnthonyUK]

Also does the burner say what gas it should run on? Some say propane gas only at 37mbar some say butane gas only at 28mbar and others will run on both at either pressure. Try a new reg if you still have problems;regs are preset at 28mbar for butane or 37mbar for propane.

[ALdraim]

Thank you for these tips. In that case, it must be the gas pressure that is low since I can adjust the gas/air mix to get the blue flame but very low. I will try to play with the regulator to get more gas pressure than adjust and see.
