Hi, I enjoying my PowerFlamer that I purchased from you almost two years ago.  I have a question which I was hoping you can help me with – noticing some orange/yellow flames coming out of the burner instead of the blue ones which I know are optimal for cooking.  In addition, I’m noticing soot building up on the bottom of my wok as well.  Wondering if there is an adjustment I can make to allow for a cleaner burn – anything you can help with?  Thank you.

there are a few steps to go through. 

1st please watch https://outdoorstirfry.com/the-yellow-flame-might-be-caused-by-the-air-fuel-mixing-wheel-being-turned-far-toward-the-burner-pipe-adjust-the-wheel-a-bit-away-from-the-burner-inlet-should-help/ to see if it helps.  

2nd please see if the mesh screen at burner pipe inlet behind the air/fuel mixing wheel is still intact.   Shine a light into the burner pipe to see if there is any spider web or other obstruction.

3rd burner top plate holes for flame may need to be cleaned out.
